Sigma 62mm Multi-Coated UV Filter

Sigma 62mm Multi-Coated UV Filter Review



Sigma 62mm Multi-Coated UV Filter Feature

  • Blocks the invisible UV component of light from the sky
  • Pictures gain brilliance and disturbing blue casts are avoided
  • Excellent protection for the front element of your lens
  • Ideal for photography in high altitudes, by the sea and in regions with very clean air
  • Treated with a multi-layer coating process to optimize protection
This high-quality Sigma UV Filter blocks the invisible UV component of light from the sky, which can cause blur and to which many color films react with a blue cast. UV Filters are ideal for photography in high altitudes (in the mountains), by the sea and in regions with very clean air. The pictures gain brilliance and disturbing blue casts are avoided. Because the glass is colorless, color rendition is not altered, aside from the elimination of the unwanted blue cast, and no increase in exposure is required. The colorless glass also makes a UV Filter very suitable as protection for the front element of your lens against dust, flying sand, sea water spray and the like, and it can be kept on the lens at all times. It is recommended for color and black & white film, as well as digital photography. Sigma has treated this filter with a multi-layer coating process, which, in addition to its UV-blocking qualities, makes these filters especially scratch-resistant. This coating does not affect the optic characteristics of the filter, but significantly optimizes the protective effects.

Sigma 20mm f/1.8 EX DG RF Aspherical Wide Angle Lens for Canon Digital SLR Cameras

Sigma 20mm f/1.8 EX DG RF Aspherical Wide Angle Lens for Canon Digital SLR Cameras Review



The Sigma 20mm f/1.8 D EX DG Aspherical Lens has a clutch-like system for switch between AF and MF modes. The system is very similar to the Sigma 105mm f/2.8 EX macro lens I reviewed previously. You push the manual focus ring forward to disengage the focus ring for auto-focusing. For manual focusing, you pull it toward you to engage the clutch. When the ring is set to AF, you can rotate the focusing ring all you want, you won't change the focus on the lens. When the lens is auto-focusing, it also doesn't effect the position of the manual-focusing ring. The manual focus ring is wide so there is no chance that you'll miss it in operation.
