UV Camera Lens Filters
The rays of ultra violet light surround us both inside and outside and are something we cannot see with the naked eye. When using your camera, though, UV light is able to be “seen” and can impact the quality of the photos you’re taking if you don’t use a UV filter for your camera. Using a UV filter will but down on the “purple haze or blue tints” that sometimes shows up around the fringes of photographs. Ultra violet filters protect the lens in addition to allowing you to take quality photos in high UV light situations.
When shopping for a UV filter for your camera you will need to know the diameter of your camera lens in order to find one that fits snugly and doesn’t allow light to seep in. Photographers typically opt to purchase a ultra violet filter for each lens of their camera so they can easily switch from lens to lens without the worry of diminishing the quality of the photos.
The UV lens filter should fit snugly as it will not only provide protection from UV rays but will also provide an extra layer of protection to the lens itself whether it’s in use or stored in your bag. You will want to make certain there is no dust or debris between the lens and the filter before you place it or that will impact the quality of the images you capture.
When taking photos with a UV filter in place, there are typically no additional adjustments that will need to be made as the filters enhance the quality of light that enters the camera and filters the damaging UV rays.
Universe Kogaku America (Universe Optics) has added to its existing line of Quartz lenses, a new 12mm lens for imaging applications in the non-visible (UV) light spectrum. This lens is a reasonably priced solution to the growing need for imaging in the other than visible spectrum.
