UV Filter Kenko RealPro MC 62mm — Kenko 226278, multicoated protection for 62 mm lenses

Kenko RealPro MC 62mm UV filter offers ultraviolet light attenuation and front-element protection for lenses with a 62 mm filter thread. The multicoated optical glass reduces reflections and flare, helping to retain natural color balance and image clarity while serving as a barrier against dust, moisture and minor impacts. Designed to remain optically neutral, the filter is intended to be left on the lens during normal shooting to provide continuous protection without altering exposure or color rendering.

Advantages

The multicoated (MC) surface lowers ghosting and internal reflections, improving contrast in bright and backlit scenes. The filter’s slim profile and precision-threaded metal ring ensure secure mounting and reduce vignetting on wide-angle lenses. As a dedicated UV filter, it attenuates ultraviolet wavelengths that can cause haziness at long distances, while providing a durable protective layer to the front element of the lens.

Suitable for

• Landscape and outdoor photography where distant haze reduction is desired
• Travel and street photography to protect the front lens surface from dust and light contact
• Everyday shooting when leaving a protective filter on the lens for convenience

Key specifications

• Filter type: UV (ultraviolet) filter
• Optical design: multicoated glass to reduce reflections and flare
• Mount diameter: 62 mm thread for compatible lenses
• Mount material: precision-threaded metal ring with slim profile
• Function: optical UV attenuation and physical protection for the front element

How to use

Attach the filter by screwing the threaded metal ring gently onto the lens’s 62 mm filter thread until it is fingertight; avoid overtightening. The filter can remain mounted during normal shooting and on-lens storage. Clean the multicoated glass with a soft blower, lens brush or microfiber cloth and, if necessary, use lens cleaning solution applied to the cloth rather than directly to the glass. Remove the filter for specialized optical setups only when necessary.

Usage recommendations

Use the Kenko RealPro MC 62mm UV filter continuously for mechanical protection of the front element and for reduced atmospheric haze in outdoor scenes. When shooting at extreme wide angles, verify for any vignetting; if present, consider using a slim-profile holder or removing the filter for critical wide-angle compositions.
