Camera UV Filter SEAGULL SB2187 52mm Slim Multi-Coated

SEAGULL SB2187 52mm Slim Multi-Coated UV Filter is a front-lens accessory designed to reduce ultraviolet light and protect the front element of camera lenses. The filter uses multi-coated optical glass to minimize reflections and flare, helping to maintain image contrast and accurate color rendition. Its slim metal frame reduces the risk of vignetting on wide-angle lenses while providing a durable protective barrier against dust, moisture and minor impacts.

Advantages

The multi-coated optical surface lowers internal reflections and ghosting, improving clarity in bright outdoor conditions. The slim profile is optimized for wide-angle lenses to avoid corner shading while still offering full 52mm thread compatibility with standard lenses. The sturdy yet lightweight frame ensures easy mounting and removal without adding significant weight to the lens system.

Suitable for

• Outdoor landscape and travel photography
• Everyday lens protection during transport and use
• Shooting in bright daylight to reduce atmospheric haze
• Wide-angle lenses where reduced vignetting is required

Key specifications

• Thread size: 52 mm
• Filter type: UV (ultraviolet) filter
• Optical glass: multi-coated (MC) to reduce reflections
• Frame profile: slim low-profile metal mount
• Primary functions: UV reduction and front element protection

How to use

Align the filter threads with the lens front thread and rotate gently clockwise until finger-tight. Avoid over-tightening to prevent difficulty when removing the filter. For cleaning, use a blower or soft brush to remove loose particles, then wipe the glass with a microfiber cloth and a small amount of lens cleaning solution if required. Remove the filter when using certain filters or accessories that require direct lens mounting, or when precise optical characteristics are needed.

Usage recommendations

For best results, keep the multi-coated surface clean and store the filter in its protective case when not in use. Use the slim profile version on wide-angle lenses to reduce vignetting; verify compatibility with lens hoods and step-up/down rings before mounting additional accessories.
