Hama 70072 | UV Filter, coated, 72.0 mm

Hama 70072 UV Filter – Coated, 72 mm

The Hama 70072 UV Filter is a high‑performance ultraviolet (UV) protective filter designed for photography and videography lenses with a diameter of 72 mm (7.2 cm). This filter is engineered to block harmful UV radiation while preserving image clarity, color fidelity, and lens integrity.

Key Features

• UV‑Absorbing Technology: The filter incorporates advanced UV‑blocking layers that effectively reduce the transmission of ultraviolet light, preventing flare, haze, and potential damage to both sensor and film.
• Coated Construction: A dual‑coating system is applied on both sides of the glass. This anti‑reflection (AR) coating minimizes internal reflections, ghosting, and enhances overall light transmission.
• Ultra‑Thin Profile: At only 3 mm thick, the filter maintains a slim profile that fits comfortably on most lenses without adding excessive bulk or weight.
• Durable Metal Mount: The filter features a robust metal ring for secure attachment. It is compatible with standard 72 mm lens mounts and can be used on both DSLR and mirrorless cameras, as well as on video camcorders.
• Color Neutral: The filter’s neutral tint ensures that the color balance of your images remains unchanged, preserving natural hues and contrast.

Performance Characteristics

The Hama 70072 is engineered to deliver consistent performance across a wide range of shooting conditions. Its UV‑blocking capability reduces the risk of lens flare caused by high‑intensity sunlight or artificial lighting sources. The dual AR coating ensures that light passes through with minimal loss, maintaining sharpness and contrast even at higher apertures.

Compatibility

This filter is specifically sized for lenses with a 72 mm diameter. It can be mounted on:

• DSLR cameras with 72 mm lens mounts
• Mirrorless systems that accept 72 mm filters
• Professional video camcorders and cinema lenses of the same size

Because it is a standard diameter, many photographers can use this filter interchangeably with other 72 mm accessories.

Installation & Care

1. Mounting: Align the metal ring with the lens mount and rotate until fully seated. The filter’s design ensures a snug fit without the need for additional fasteners.
2. Cleaning: Use a microfiber cloth and appropriate optical cleaning solution to remove fingerprints or dust. Avoid abrasive materials that could scratch the AR coating.
3. Handling: Handle by the edges only; avoid touching the glass surface to preserve the integrity of the coatings.

• Protection against UV‑induced lens degradation over long shooting sessions
• Consistent image quality in outdoor environments, especially at high altitudes or near water bodies where UV reflection can be significant
