UV Protector Filter — Compatible with Sony DT 16-80mm F3.5-4.5 ZA Carl Zeiss Vario-Sonnar T* | UV Absorbing, Reduces Bluish Cast, Dust & Scratch Protection

Made to fit the Sony DT 16-80mm F3.5-4.5 ZA Carl Zeiss Vario-Sonnar T*, this UV protector improves outdoor shooting by absorbing ultraviolet radiation that can create hazy, low-contrast results. It is especially useful in high-altitude locations, beside the ocean, or on snowy terrain where UV-induced bluish casts are most noticeable, helping deliver more natural color rendering and clearer images in a variety of lighting situations. Optically neutral and clear, the filter has a 1x filter factor (+0 stop), so it does not change exposure, contrast, or color balance. You retain full image sharpness, detail, and accurate tones while benefiting from reduced UV influence. Designed for everyday protection, the filter stays on the front element to guard against scratches, dust, dirt, water spots, fingerprints, and accidental contact. It also provides added defense against minor bumps, drops, and abrasions, helping preserve the condition and lifespan of your lens.
