Camera UV Filter SEAGULL SB2191 72mm slim multi-coated glass

SEAGULL SB2191 72mm slim multi-coated glass UV filter is a precision accessory designed to reduce ultraviolet light reaching the camera sensor while providing mechanical protection for the front element of compatible lenses. Manufactured with multi-coated optical glass and a slim metal frame, the filter improves light transmission and minimizes internal reflections without introducing noticeable color cast. Its reduced thickness is intended to limit vignetting when used on wide-angle lenses and when stacking filters.

Advantages

The multi-coated glass surface decreases ghosting and flare by suppressing unwanted reflections, increasing contrast and overall image clarity in bright and backlit conditions. The slim profile reduces the risk of vignetting on wide-angle lenses and helps maintain the native field of view. The filter also serves as a physical barrier against dust, moisture and light impacts to the front element, extending lens longevity and keeping the optics easier to clean.

Suitable for

• Landscape photography where UV reduction and front protection are important
• Travel and street photography with wide-angle or compact zoom lenses
• Everyday shooting to protect the lens during handling and outdoor use
• Situations requiring reduced flare and improved contrast under bright sky conditions

Key specifications

• Filter diameter: 72 mm
• Optical material: multi-coated optical glass
• Frame type: slim metal ring to minimize vignetting
• Function: ultraviolet light reduction and front element protection
• Surface treatment: multi-layer anti-reflective coatings

How to use

Screw the filter onto the front threads of a 72 mm lens until it sits securely but avoid over-tightening. Check for vignetting by testing at your widest focal length if using on a wide-angle lens; the slim frame is intended to reduce this effect. Clean the filter surface with a blower and a microfiber cloth or lens tissue before shooting to remove dust and smudges. When stacking filters, verify compatibility and re-check for any optical interference or increased vignetting.

Usage recommendations

Use the SEAGULL 72mm slim UV filter as a protective measure and as an optical aid in bright outdoor conditions. For critical color and contrast work, evaluate the filter on your specific lens and camera combination to ensure it meets your imaging requirements.
