Camera filter Kenko MC/UV 77mm — multi-coated UV protection filter

The Kenko MC/UV 77mm multi-coated ultraviolet (UV) protection filter is designed to thread onto lenses with a 77mm filter ring. It reduces the effect of ultraviolet light that can cause blue cast and haziness at long distances, while providing a physical protective layer for the front element of the lens. The multi-coating helps maintain image sharpness and accurate color balance by minimizing reflections and flare introduced by the filter surface.

Advantages

This Kenko MC/UV 77mm filter offers a combination of optical protection and minimal impact on image quality. The multi-coating reduces internal reflections and ghosting, helping to preserve contrast and color fidelity. As a UV filter, it reduces atmospheric haze in landscape and outdoor photography and serves as a durable barrier against dust, fingerprints, moisture and light scratches to the lens front.

Suitable for

• Landscape and nature photography where reduced atmospheric haze is beneficial
• Travel and outdoor shooting to protect the front element from environmental exposure
• Everyday use when a simple, always-on protective filter is required
• Photographers seeking a lightweight, low-impact filter for lenses with 77mm threads

How to use

Attach the filter by carefully threading it onto a lens with a 77mm filter ring until it is snug; avoid overtightening. Use the filter during outdoor, landscape or travel shoots to reduce UV haze and to protect the front element. Clean the filter surface with a soft microfiber cloth and appropriate lens-cleaning solution when necessary; store the filter in a protective pouch or case when not in use to prevent scratches.

Usage recommendations

For consistent protection and minimal effect on exposure and color, leave the Kenko MC/UV 77mm filter mounted during general outdoor shooting. Remove or use a lens hood when shooting in conditions that may require additional flare control. Clean with gentle, non-abrasive materials and avoid touching the glass surface directly.
