This PolarPro QuartzLine Armor UV Filter gives your lens front element complete protection without compromising image quality. It acts as the first line of defense against rocks, dust, and debris, while preserving optical performance for demanding photography and filmmaking situations.
The Armor UV is crafted from tempered glass that PolarPro describes as virtually indestructible. As a result, the filter offers substantial physical protection for the front of your lens. In practice, this helps guard the lens from impacts and environmental particles that might otherwise reach the front element.
Furthermore, this filter is 4X stronger than standard filter glass. At the same time, it maintains 99% transmission, which means it preserves light passing through the filter and avoids measurable light loss. Additionally, PolarPro applies their cinema series optical polish so the filter can resolve the largest camera sensors without introducing degradation to the image.
