Slim UV MC Filter K&F Concept 72mm KF01.1427 – multi-coating, slim profile

The K&F Concept Slim UV MC Filter 72mm (multi-coating, slim profile) is an optical protective filter that reduces ultraviolet light and provides a clear protective layer for lenses with 72mm front threads. Its multi-coated glass minimises reflections and ghosting, while the slim-profile aluminium frame is designed to reduce vignetting on wide-angle lenses. The filter is intended for outdoor and general-purpose use to preserve image clarity and protect the front element from dust, moisture and scratches.

Advantages

The multi-coated optical glass lowers surface reflections and improves light transmission for more neutral colour rendition. The slim metal frame reduces the risk of mechanical vignetting on wide-angle optics, maintaining full-frame coverage without compromising protection. The filter also serves as a first line of defence against dust, minor impacts and abrasion to the front lens element, extending the usable life of the lens surface.

Suitable for

• Outdoor landscape and travel photography where UV reduction and lens protection are needed
• Wide-angle lenses that require a thin filter profile to avoid vignetting
• Everyday protection for lenses used in variable shooting conditions

Key specifications

• Filter diameter: 72 mm screw thread
• Filter type: UV (ultraviolet) optical filter
• Glass: multi-coated optical glass to reduce reflections
• Frame: slim aluminium profile to minimise vignetting
• Finish: neutral transmission for natural colour balance

How to use

Screw the filter gently into the lens front thread until it is snug; avoid overtightening to preserve the thread. Use the filter on lenses with a 72 mm front thread for outdoor shooting to reduce UV haze and protect the front element. Clean the filter surface with a lens cloth or appropriate cleaning solution to remove dust and fingerprints before and after use. When stacking filters or attaching lens accessories, check for mechanical vignetting on wide-angle setups.

Usage recommendations

Store the filter in its case when not in use to prevent scratches. For wide-angle lenses, verify that the slim profile prevents vignetting at your lens’s widest focal length. Clean with a microfiber cloth and recommended lens cleaner; avoid abrasive materials and excessive pressure.
