Designed to block ultraviolet light, while allowing visible light to cleanly pass, this 72mm UV Filter from Simmod is a specialty filter that helps to achieve accurate and precise colors. This unique filter features 32 layers of multicoating, which further serves to minimize surface reflections and maintains light transmission for consistent color accuracy and image acuity.

Front Threads for Stacking    14 Layers of Nano Coating    99.2% Light Transmission    Secure Attachment    32 Layers of Multicoating    UV Protection    3.2mm Slim Design    Brass Filter Ring

The front threads on the filter allow users to stack filters by screwing them into other Simmod filters.

It takes two full turns to mount the filter onto the lens. This feature will securely hold the Simmod filter through the most demanding shoots.

Simmod can offer a 99.2% transmission rate by using highly polished Schott glass and advanced coatings.

Seven layers of nano coating on each side offer scratch resistance. With a combined 14 layers of nano coating, water beads will roll off your filter, while oil and fingerprints can be gently wiped off. Dust and debris won't adhere to the filter either and can be removed with a puff of air.

The filter is multicoated with 16 layers of coating on each side. That's a combined total of 32-layers of protective and enhancement coating. Multicoating reduces unwanted internal reflections and ghosting that can compromise your images.

The filter blocks UV light and reduces the bluish cast of daylight. This can affect color accuracy, especially at higher altitudes.

The properties of a brass filter ring minimize the chance of jamming or binding when screwing the filter onto the lens or stacking filters.

This filter is slim enough to use on wide-angle lenses without experiencing vignetting due to its 3.2mm size.

Q: 5. Have any of you tested this Z 20 mm prime (or the Z 24 mm 1.8) to the 20 mm on the Nikon NIKKOR Z 14-24mm f/2.8 S Lens, particularly for astro images? I'm a big fan of the old Ai-S 20 mm and 24 mm lenses and am wondering if the 20 mm and 24 mm focal distances on the zoom are as good, or nearly as good as the new Z primes of the same focal lengths. I'm debating between the primes and the zoom. Thanks for your time, Andy
