UV filter Kenko Smart UV Slim 43mm — Kenko 214398, slim low-profile design for lens protection

The Kenko Smart UV Slim 43mm (model 214398) is a slim, low-profile ultraviolet filter designed to reduce UV haze and protect the front element of compatible camera lenses. It blocks ultraviolet light to improve image clarity in daylight, while its multi-coated glass reduces reflections and flare. The durable aluminium frame provides long-term protection without adding significant bulk, and the slim design helps minimise vignetting on wide-angle lenses.

Advantages

The MC UV370 filter offers multi-sided coating to cut reflections, a slim aluminium frame for durability and minimal vignetting, and a 43 mm thread size for direct mounting on matching lenses. It can be left on the lens continuously to protect against dust, moisture and scratches without noticeable impact on exposure.

Suitable for

• Daylight outdoor photography to reduce UV haze
• Everyday lens protection during transport and shooting
• Wide-angle lenses where vignetting must be minimised
• Photographers who prefer a slim, low-profile filter

How to use

Remove the filter when using certain accessories (like some external lens hoods or specialised filters) that require direct access to the lens front.

Usage recommendations

Keep the filter clean by blowing off loose dust and wiping the glass with a microfiber cloth and appropriate lens cleaner. Avoid over-tightening the frame when mounting or removing to prevent damage to the lens or filter threads.
