The UV filter from Hama is a must-have for passionate photographers. It was primarily designed to protect the camera lens and offers a range of benefits. The filter protects the lens from scratches, dust, and fingerprints, which can be difficult to clean and may affect the quality of a photo.

The filter also makes it easier to clean your camera; many camera lenses are curved and recessed, but the flat surface of the filter simplifies maintaining the cleanliness of your camera. Protecting your camera lens can also increase the resale value of your camera when it's time to upgrade, as your lens remains in pristine condition.

Additionally, the UV filter can enhance the quality of your photos by making them clear and sharp in both black and white and color. Ultraviolet rays often make photos appear washed out and gray; with UV filters, the photos are more vibrant, as the filter absorbs ultraviolet rays without affecting the balance of visible light. The UV filter can also improve film clarity by reducing the amount of ultraviolet light that reaches it. Since the lens is coated on both sides, minimal lens flare is produced when the lens is directed at bright light.
