UV Filter Kenko Celeste 67mm — Kenko 226760 UV protection filter, 67 mm thread

The Kenko Celeste UV filter 67mm is a screw‑in ultraviolet protection filter designed to reduce UV haze and provide everyday front‑element protection for lenses with a 67 mm filter thread. Made to be mounted permanently or when needed for outdoor and landscape photography, this thin, clear filter does not change exposure or colour balance while helping to keep dust, moisture and scratches away from the lens surface.

Advantages

The optical glass used in the Kenko Celeste UV filter transmits visible light while absorbing ultraviolet wavelengths that cause haziness in distant scenes. Its slim metal frame minimizes vignetting on wide‑angle lenses while providing a secure threaded connection. By preserving image clarity and acting as a physical barrier, the filter reduces the need for frequent cleaning of the lens front element and lowers the risk of accidental damage from contact or debris.

Suitable for

• Landscape and outdoor photography where UV haze can reduce distant contrast
• Everyday protection of lens front elements during travel and field work
• Shooting in bright daylight or at high altitude where UV intensity is higher
• Use as a permanent protective filter on lenses with a 67 mm thread

Key specifications

• Filter type: Ultraviolet (UV) protection
• Mount diameter: 67 mm screw‑in
• Frame: Slim metal filter ring to reduce vignetting
• Optical properties: Transmits visible spectrum, blocks ultraviolet light to reduce haze
• Primary functions: UV reduction and front‑element physical protection

How to use

Screw the Kenko Celeste UV filter onto the lens front using the 67 mm thread until it is hand‑tight; avoid over‑tightening. Leave the filter mounted for general use to protect the lens surface, or attach it only when shooting outdoors to reduce UV haze. Clean the filter surface with a soft brush or microfiber cloth and appropriate lens cleaner when necessary to maintain image quality. When using lens hoods or stacked filters, check for potential vignetting on wide focal lengths.

Usage recommendations

For best results, keep the filter clean and inspect the frame fitting periodically. Use the slim frame option on wide‑angle lenses to minimize vignetting, and remove stacked filters if image corners darken. Store the filter in a protective case when not in use to prevent scratches and contamination.
