Ultraviolet
UV (Ultraviolet) camera filters are clear-glass filters attached to the front of a lens to block ultraviolet light from reaching the camera's sensor or film. UV filters primarily prevent ultraviolet rays from entering the lens. This was especially important in the era of film photography, where UV light could cause a bluish haze in photos. A major contemporary benefit of UV filters is their role as a protective barrier for the lens's front element against dust, scratches, moisture, and fingerprints. This can be particularly valuable when shooting in harsh conditions like sandy areas or at the beach. While modern digital cameras are less sensitive to UV light and have built-in UV filters, some photographers believe an external UV filter can still slightly reduce haze and improve sharpness, especially in challenging environments like high altitudes. High-quality UV filters have minimal impact on image quality, including sharpness and color accuracy. Low-quality filters can introduce issues like lens flare, ghosting, and a slight reduction in image contrast or resolution. Digital vs. film: UV filters are more critical for film photography where film is more sensitive to UV light. Modern digital cameras generally have built-in UV filters. UV filters are highly recommended for shooting in environments with dust, sand, or water, as they offer protection against potential lens damage. Always choose high-quality filters from reputable brands and ensure they are clean to avoid degrading image quality. While the original primary purpose of UV filters has been largely addressed by advancements in digital camera technology, they remain a popular choice among photographers for their ability to protect valuable lenses, especially when shooting in challenging outdoor conditions.
