UV Filter Kenko RealPro MC 52mm for camera lenses, model 225278

Kenko RealPro MC UV Filter 52mm is a multicoated ultraviolet filter designed to reduce UV haze and protect the front element of lenses with a 52mm filter thread. The slim, circular construction maintains image clarity while providing physical protection against dust, moisture and incidental contact. Multi-coating reduces internal reflections and helps preserve natural color rendition and contrast in outdoor and landscape photography.

Advantages

The filter’s multi-coated optical surface minimizes ghosting and flare by suppressing unwanted reflections. Its slim mount lowers the risk of vignetting on wide-angle lenses while providing a secure threaded attachment. As a protective accessory, the filter adds a sacrificial layer that is easier and less expensive to replace than the lens front element. The neutral transmission preserves exposure settings without altering color balance.

Suitable for

• Landscape and nature photography in bright outdoor conditions
• Travel and street photography where lens protection is needed
• Portraits or general-purpose shooting when UV reduction is desired
• Use with 52mm filter-thread lenses across DSLR and mirrorless systems

Key specifications

• Filter type: Ultraviolet (UV) filter with multi-coating
• Filter diameter: 52 mm thread
• Mount style: Slim circular screw-in frame designed to reduce vignetting
• Optical effect: Reduces UV haze and suppresses surface reflections
• Primary functions: Lens protection and UV attenuation without color shift

How to use

Screw the filter onto the front of a compatible lens with a 52mm filter thread until it seats gently; avoid overtightening. Use the filter mounted during daytime outdoor shooting to reduce UV-induced haze and maintain image clarity. When cleaning, remove the filter from the lens and clean the glass surface with a soft microfiber cloth and appropriate lens cleaning solution to avoid scratching the multi-coated surface.

Usage recommendations

For best optical results, leave the filter on the lens when shooting outdoors in bright or hazy conditions. Verify that the slim mount does not cause vignetting with wide-angle lenses on your camera system before extended use. Store the filter in a protective case when not in use.
