The Sigma 86mm Lens Protector Filteris a simple, clear filter with a 1x filter factor and is designed to provide general protection for your lens. This optically clear filter does not affect overall image quality while helping to prevent dust, scratches, moisture, and other elements from reaching or damaging your lens. This filter is multi-coated which helps to eliminate internal ghosting and reflections.

Sigma Protector filters are constructed from optical glass with a black rim. Set within an aluminum-alloy filter ring that is durable while remaining lightweight, the glass provides increased clarity as well as color fidelity while the black rim further ensures that reflections do not occur along the filter's edge.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Is this the filter for the front of the lens? If so, it must be larger than the "46mm" shown in the title. What size is it?

A: The following filter is a 46mm that is designed and made for the Sigma 500mm f/4 DG OS HSM Sports Lens's filter holder only.

Q: 2. Hello, does it fit to the Nikon AF-S 24-70 f/2.8E ED VR?

A: Yes, the Sigma 82mm WR Ceramic Protector Filter can fit the Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 24-70mm f/2.8E ED VR Lens.

Q: 3. what is the difference between sigma WR protector clear glass filter 95mm vs Sigma WR Ceramic protector filter 95mm ?

A: The WR Ceramic Protector Filter would use a clear glass ceramic substrate which has added strength and a higher transmittance value over the WR Protector Filter which uses a glass element that is not as strong.

Q: 4. Will this fit the slr magic product in link below? https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1403570-REG/slr_magic_slr82vnd86ie_82mm_self_locking_nd_0_4.html

A: Yes. The 86mm Image Enhancer 1.2 filter has 86mm front threads that accommodate other front-threaded filters, and will give the Sigma LCF-86 III enough room to sit. However, like with most filters, the threaded portion can sometimes be quite shallow, making lens caps a bit less secure than you might be familiar with.

Q: 5. Will this filter work with the Canon RF14-35mm F4 L IS USM? It's a 77mm lens but extremely wide. I'm concerned about vignetting. I know I could always use an 82mm filter with a step down ring but that is an awkward way to go and the EW-83P wouldn't fit. Are there any UV filters out there that are designed for ultra wide lenses? By any manufacturer?

A: Yes, the B+W UV-Haze #010 MRC MASTER Filter (77mm) has a thin mount and would work on the Canon RF 14-35mm f/4 L IS USM Lens without vignetting.

Q: 6. Which metal is used for the new Sigma filters?

A: The filter is very new and some information is not out yet. As of now it seems the frame is brass like the other models.

Q: 7. How effective is the hydrophobic treatment? Presumably a titanium oxide coating?

A: Hydrophobic and oleophobic coatings on glass elements and filters such as the Sigma 95mm WR Ceramic Protector Filter (B&H# SICGC95) are typically fluorine-based rather than titanium-based, as the later would block much visible light. It causes most water to bead and roll off if there is any incline to the angle at which the filter is held. When dealing with water droplets and splashes, I have found this type of coating sheds most water without my needing to address it at all. When a water droplet does not roll off right away, I just blow on it to shed it without having to take a break to wipe the lens or filter. I do not need to touch the element at all and I'm immediately back to shooting.

Q: 8. Will this vignette with an 18mm lens? Specifically the Tamron 18-300 (67mm). Any issues with the hood fitting properly?

A: This filter will not vignette unless it's wider than 16mm on a full frame camera. You shouldn't have any issues fitting the lens hood over the filter either.

Q: 9. Will this fit the Rokinon 10mm 2.8?

A: Unfortunately we do not have a ring designed for the Rokinon 10mm f2.8 lens

Q: 10. Will this lens cap fit the B+W 82mm XS-Pro Digital ND Vario MRC-Nano filter?
