Irix Revo UV- ja suojasuodatin 46mm

Landscape photographers shooting in coastal or high-altitude environments need a filter that protects their lens without compromising image clarity. The Irix Revo UV & Protector 46mm is built for exactly that: a slim, lightweight aluminum frame holding super white optical glass with a 16-layer multi-coating. It blocks UV light up to 390nm, reduces haze, and delivers over 99.5% light transmission, so your images stay sharp and colour-accurate. The hydrophobic and oleophobic coatings repel water and fingerprints, while the anti-static and scratch-resistant properties keep the filter clean and durable in the field.

Ideal use cases

• Protecting the front element of a 46mm-thread lens from dust, moisture, and accidental impacts.
• Reducing atmospheric haze and UV-induced bluish cast in outdoor photography, especially at high altitudes or near water.
• Keeping the lens clean in challenging conditions thanks to hydrophobic and oleophobic coatings.
• Serving as a permanent, transparent filter for everyday shooting where no light reduction is desired.
