This filter, often hailed as the world's sharpest protection filter, delivers an unmatched optical resolution, making it an essential tool for professional outdoor photographers.The X4 UV Filter is crafted with SCHOTT Ultrawhite B270 optical glass, a high-quality material manufactured in Germany. This glass, combined with Breakthrough Photography's state-of-the-art multi-resistant coating (MRC16), enhances light transmission up to 99.4%. This coating not only improves image clarity but also creates a protective layer that's structurally harder than the glass itself, ensuring your filter's longevity.The X4 UV Filter also boasts Breakthrough Photography's innovative nanotec Nano Coating layer. This advanced coating repels dirt, water, and other elements, causing them to bead rather than absorb. This feature makes the filter easier and faster to clean, saving you valuable time in the field.The design of the X4 UV Filter is a testament to Breakthrough Photography's commitment to innovation. The filter is thinner and lighter, yet more functional and durable.
