The Heliopan Bay 104 Skylight KR 1.5 Filteris a general use filter with a slight pink tint to help improve overall color accuracy and clarity. The light pink coloration helps to reduce the overall bluish cast of daylight and is especially effective when photographing landscapes and in shade.

The Skylight 1A filter is also useful as a general protective filter to leave on lenses at all times. Filters help to reduce dust and moisture from reaching your lens element and provide additional protection in case of drops or situations where scratching could occur.

This filter features a brass mounting ring that is painted matte black to help reduce reflections. High quality Schott glass provides optical clarity and greater contrast to help render scenes with greater fidelity and resolution. The Bay 104 mount is compatible with lenses featuring a bayonet filter mount, such as those made by Hasselblad and Rollei.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Does this work identically to a traditional Rollei Bay IV/4 filter on Rolleiflex Wide cameras? The old Rollei filters were sized so that you could use a Bay IV filter and a Bay IV lens hood simultaneously, without stacking. The lens hood would fit around the exterior of the filter. Thanks!

A: Yes, the Heliopan Bay 4 UV Haze Filter should work similarly to the Rollei Bay IV filters.

Q: 2. Will this fit on a rolleiflex 2.8d?

A: Yes, a Bay 3 or bay III filter will fit on the lenses of a Rolleiflex 2.8 D.

Q: 3. What is the difference between a 62mm Heliopan UV Haze filter #706001 and #706201?What is the meaning of the B&H 62mm Haze filter having a Grade 010 ?Thanks!

A: The two Heliopan filters are the same. The 706001 is the 60mm version and the 706201 is the 62mm version.The filter you are referring to, http://bhpho.to/1owREJu is a B+W filter. 010 is the models that have multi-coatings.

Q: 5. Will this fit a Nikkor af-s 10-24mm lens?

A: In researching this lens it appears to have a 77mm filter thread. So you will need to use filters that screw into a 77mm thread.Thanks for your question!

Q: 6. What skylight filter works on NIkkor 24-70?

A: There are two possible sizes depending on the model of your Nikkor 24-70. Please refer to the following info and reach out if you are unsure of which model you have. Nikon 24-70 f/2.8 (multiple generations, both F- and Z-mounts) use 82mm, which means you will need the follow skylight filter: https://bhpho.to/3j8x5Js Nikon Z-mount 24-70 f/4 uses the 72mm front thread, which will work with this Heliopan 72mm Skylight filter.

Q: 7. How many multi coating applications on both sides. Says one. Issues?

A: Heliopan 67mm UV Filter is a schott glass filter with a single coating of elements in both sides of the glass to increase color and details transmission.

Q: 8. Does this hood mounts on the outside of the lens, like the Hasselblad hoods, or on the inside on the lens like the filters? If the latter is the case, can a filter be mounted on its front?

A: This would fit the inside of the lens like a filter.

Q: 9. Does it come with a protective plastic case?

A: A protective case is included with the Heliopan 58mm KR 1.5 Skylight (1A) Filter.

Q: 10. Does the filter come with a plastic protector case?

[Bay 104] May say use UV, I have tried and like using a skylight protive filter with my Fujuion 14mm and 60mm. My JPEGS look more true to color both in door and out. This Heliopan is very well made and it's coatings are up to the coatings on my Fuji lens.

[Bay 104] I always used a skylight filter outdoors with Kodachrome and the results were noticeable. I've recently started using color negative film in medium format and 35 mm and bought this filter for that purpose. The quality of the glass is extremely important for me, and this Schott glass is the best quality skylight filter I have found.

[Bay 104] With the demise of Rollei, getting items for our beloved 2.8F, GX or FX cameras get harder and harder. Here is a wonderful multicoated filter to protect the front surfaces of the Xenotars or Planars. Strong brass frames with nice matte black finish. These prevent the flares from the shiny metal bayonets that surround the lens on the camera. It is now a custom ordered item, so you will have to wait about 6 weeks for it to arrive.

[0.55 lb] I have always used a filter to protect my lens front element glass. Even though many others in the business say they are not needed or need to be removed prior to adding other filters. I do not. The KR 1.5 SKYLIGHT provides the protection I need and the security to make sure nothing smears on or touches that element. Each time filters are removed, your finger oils could possibly adhere to that glass, but not if you are using permanent filter to prevent that from happened. Well constructed, multicoated, in a slim version filter by Heliopan; tops in my book. I buy the best filters for my pro cameras, hands downs...

[0.55 lb] I have a Konica 1 camera from the 1950s. It's difficult to find filters and hoods for. So, I've taken to using a 41mm series VI adapter which pushes onto the lens. That allows me to use series VI hoods. The problem then becomes one of filters for the camera. Most series VI filters are uncoated, and probably delaminated by now. As well, they are likely to be scratched up.The Heliopan series VI gives me the benefit of a brand new filter in this no-longer common filter size. Planar filter surfaces, coating, and Schott glass are some of the benefits of the Heliopan filter.I also bought their Series VI yellow filter for use with B&W film.

[Bay 104] Seems really well made. I bought this to replace a more basic uncoated UV filter on my 17-35mm lens. My intention is that the multicoating on both sides will improve transmission over an uncoated filter, and the slight color might subtly improve color rendition. Mostly it's for protecting the front surface and threaded rim of the lens.


At least once in the past 50 years of shooting, I've had a lens hit the ground and be 100% saved by a skylight filter (which was destroyed). Even the chi-chi multicoated version is cheap insurance that can save a shoot.


Personally I feel that all the debate about skylight vs. clear UV is much ado about nothing. Any effect you might notice could be adjusted out easily if you found it objectionable. I just use the skylight color because I always have. Maybe there was more of a point to it in the days of film. I'm not going to spend any more cycles on it...
