UV Filter Seagull Mc Slim 72mm — camera lens protective and UV reduction filter, 72 mm

Seagull Mc Slim 72mm UV filter is a thin-profile camera lens accessory designed to reduce ultraviolet light and provide physical protection for the front element of 72 mm lenses. The slim metal frame minimises vignetting on wide-angle optics while the multi-coated glass maintains transmission and reduces reflections. This UV filter is suitable for outdoor photography, travel and everyday use where additional front-element protection and subtle UV reduction are required.

Advantages

The slim construction reduces the risk of vignetting on wide-angle lenses while still providing full coverage for 72 mm front elements. Multi-coating on the glass surface lowers internal reflections and ghosting, helping to preserve colour fidelity and contrast. The filter provides a practical physical barrier against dust, moisture and light scratches, extending the usable life of the lens front element without altering exposure or focus characteristics.

Suitable for

• Outdoor landscape and travel photography with 72 mm front diameter lenses
• Everyday lens protection against dust, moisture and accidental contact
• Shooting in bright daylight or hazy conditions where UV suppression can improve clarity
• Wide-angle lenses that risk vignetting with thicker filter mounts

Key specifications

• Filter diameter: 72 mm front thread size
• Profile: slim/low-profile metal frame to reduce vignetting
• Optical glass: multi-coated on both sides to reduce reflections and increase light transmission
• Function: UV light reduction and front-element physical protection
• Mount: standard threaded mount compatible with 72 mm lens threads

How to use

Screw the Seagull Mc Slim 72mm UV filter onto the front thread of a compatible 72 mm lens until it is hand-tight; avoid over-tightening. Use the filter as a protective barrier during transport and when shooting in environments with dust, sand, drizzle or potential contact with abrasive surfaces. The filter can remain mounted during normal shooting without changing exposure settings; if required, remove it by unscrewing in the reverse direction.

Usage recommendations

Clean the filter surface with a blower and microfiber cloth before use to avoid trapping particles between the filter and lens. For long-term storage, keep the filter in a protective pouch or case. When using ultra wide-angle lenses, verify framing for any edge darkening and confirm the slim profile is sufficient to prevent vignetting.
