UV (Haze) 1A Multicoated Glass Filter for Fujifilm XF 10 - Slim

In this review of the UV (Haze) 1A Multicoated filter for the Fujifilm XF 10, the bottom line is simple: this is a no-nonsense UV/haze filter for photographers and videographers who want protection and neutral optical performance without adding bulk. The reviewer found the Grade 010 (Filter Factor 0 Zero) glass keeps images neutral, while the slim, multicoated, heat treated glass and the rugged metal ring make it well suited for everyday use. It is best appreciated by users who value build quality and a low-profile design that minimizes vignetting.

Key Features

• Grade 010 (Filter Factor 0 Zero): preserves exposure and color balance so shooters do not need to compensate for light loss when attaching the filter.
• Rugged metal filter ring: the black finish metal ring provides durable protection and a solid mounting interface for frequent outdoor use.
• Heat treated glass: increases durability against impacts and temperature variation compared with untreated glass elements.
• Slim design: minimizes vignetting on wide-angle focal lengths so corners remain clean on the XF 10.
• Multicoated: reduces reflections and flare for both stills and video, improving contrast in backlit conditions.
• Multithreaded: allows stacking of additional filters or lens accessories on top without compromising the slim profile.

Who It's For

This filter is aimed at street photographers, travel shooters, and run-and-gun videographers using the Fujifilm XF 10 who want lens protection and neutral UV/haze filtration without altering exposure. Its slim profile makes it especially useful for wide-angle shots where vignetting can be an issue.

It is less relevant for photographers who require variable ND control, strong color correction, or specialty glass; those users should look for neutral density, polarizing, or color-correcting filters designed for those purposes rather than a UV/haze protector.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Solid, durable metal ring with a black finish that resists wear during everyday use.
• Heat treated, multicoated glass that reduces flare and keeps images contrasty in bright scenes.
• Slim design that reduces the chance of vignetting on the Fujifilm XF 10 wide-angle lens.
• Multithreaded construction lets users stack additional filters or accessories on top.

Cons

• As a UV/haze filter with Grade 010, it does not provide exposure reduction or polarization, so users needing those effects must buy other filters.
