UV Filter for Pentax DA 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 AL WR Zoom Lens — Clear 1x (+0) UV Protector, Reduces Blue Cast & Shields Front Element

Made to fit the Pentax DA 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 AL WR Zoom Lens, this UV filter absorbs ultraviolet light that can produce hazy, low-contrast images—especially at high altitudes, beside the ocean, or in snowy environments. By cutting UV haze it minimizes the bluish daylight cast so photos show more natural color tones and enhanced clarity in a variety of lighting conditions.

The filter is optically neutral and crystal clear with a 1x filter factor (+0 stop), so it does not alter exposure, contrast, or color balance; image sharpness and detail remain unchanged while benefiting from UV reduction.

Designed for continuous use, it serves as a protective barrier that can stay on your lens to guard against scratches, dust, dirt, water spots, fingerprints, and accidental contact with the front element. It also provides extra protection from drops, bumps, and abrasions, helping to extend the life of your lens.
