UV (Haze) 1A Multicoated Multithreaded Glass Filter 95mm - Slim

Our review of the UV (Haze) 1A Multicoated Multithreaded Glass Filter finds it best suited for telephoto shooters who need everyday protection and subtle UV reduction without changing color balance. Built with Grade 010 glass and a rugged metal ring, the filter is designed to stay on lenses like the Tamron SP 150-600mm f/5-6.3 Di VC USD and reduce the bluish cast of daylight while providing a durable first line of defense against dust, moisture and scratches. Photographers who want a clear, non-coloring filter that minimizes vignetting will appreciate its slim profile and multicoated surface.

Key Features

• Grade 010 Glass: Provides a clear, neutral element that absorbs ultraviolet light and helps reduce the bluish haze common in daytime shooting.
• Multicoated Surface: Multicoatings reduce reflections and flare for both photography and video work, improving contrast in backlit scenes.
• Rugged Metal Ring: The heat treated metal filter ring with a black finish resists everyday wear and stays secure on long telephoto lenses.
• Slim Design: The thin profile minimizes the risk of vignetting when used on long focal lengths such as 150-600mm.
• Multithreaded Construction: Allows easy stacking of additional filters or lens accessories without cross-threading issues.
• General Protection: Acts as a sacrificial barrier to keep dust, moisture and scratches away from the front element of expensive lenses.

Who It's For

The filter is aimed at wildlife, sports and nature photographers who mount long telephoto lenses and want continuous protection with minimal optical compromise. Its slim profile and multicoating make it practical for daytime outdoor use where UV haze and flare are concerns.

It is less critical for studio photographers and those who rely on heavy color correction in post, since the filter does not add contrast or color. If a photographer needs specialized effects, polarizing control or neutral density stops, they should look at dedicated polarizers or ND filters instead.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Neutral UV absorption reduces bluish cast while maintaining original color and contrast.
• Durable, heat treated metal ring offers reliable protection and a secure fit on large lenses.
• Slim design reduces the chance of vignetting on long telephoto focal lengths.
• Multicoated glass helps reduce flare and ghosting in backlit scenes for both photo and video use.

Cons

• Does not provide polarization or density control, so separate filters are needed for those effects.
• As a clear protective filter, optical improvement is subtle and may be unnecessary for indoor or controlled-light shooting.
