55mm UV Ultraviolet / UV Lens Filter

A basic 55mm UV / UltraViolet protective lens filter is the insurance policy photographers can buy for their valuable lenses. Though providing UV protection is paramount, the easily removable and cleanable 55mm UV filter also serves as an direct physical barrier against the dirt, smudges, elements and abrasions that would otherwise fall upon far more expensive and delicate lens glass. Countless lenses have also been saved from accidental bangs and irrepairable impact damage that the economically replaceable 55mm UV filter took the hit for instead.
