Camera lens filter Rollei 26234 — Ultraviolet (UV) filter, 58 mm, single-piece

Rollei 26234 is a 58 mm ultraviolet (UV) camera lens filter designed to reduce UV haze and to protect the front element of compatible lenses. The single-piece filter features a black frame and transparent optical glass that minimally affects exposure while limiting unwanted UV components in natural light. It fits lenses with a 58 mm filter thread and is intended for use in outdoor, landscape and travel photography where UV scattering can reduce perceived clarity and contrast.

Advantages

The Rollei 26234 UV filter reduces ultraviolet-induced blue cast and softening caused by scattered UV light, improving clarity in distant scenes without altering the visible colour balance. As a front-mounted protection element it shields the lens glass from dust, minor impacts and scratches. The filter is built to preserve optical neutrality and to maintain image sharpness while remaining largely transparent to visible wavelengths.

Suitable for

• Landscape photography in bright daylight or high-altitude locations
• Outdoor and travel photography where lens protection is needed
• Architectural and cityscape shooting to reduce atmospheric haze

Key specifications

• Filter type: Ultraviolet (UV) filter
• Mount thread: 58 mm
• Design: single-piece, black-framed
• Optical effect: reduces UV transmission to limit haze and blue cast
• Primary function: optical correction (UV reduction) and front-element protection
• Number of pieces: 1

How to use

Screw the filter gently onto the front thread of a lens with a 58 mm diameter until it seats securely; avoid overtightening. Use the filter in daylight situations where UV haze or strong blue cast may affect image clarity, or leave it mounted as a protective element during transport and general shooting. Clean the glass surface with a lens cloth and appropriate cleaner before and after use to maintain image quality.

Usage recommendations

For best results, combine the Rollei 26234 UV filter with proper exposure and lens cleaning habits. Mount the filter when shooting landscapes or at high elevations to reduce UV haze, and remove or cover it only when using specialized filters (polarizers or neutral density) that require specific stacking or orientation. Store the filter in a protective case when not in use.
