The Hoya 46mm NXT Plus UV Filter for Camera Lensis a general use, clear filter designed to absorb ultraviolet light and reduce the bluish cast of daylight. Aside from the reduction of unwanted blue casts, no additional coloration or contrast is created, and adjustments to exposure are not required while using this filter. To prevent internal ghosting and reflections, each glass surface includes five layers of anti-reflection coating. These coatings also offer greater protection to the filter substrate and helps it to stay clean for longer than with uncoated filters. An additional hydrophobic coating results in an improved beading effect when in contact with water for greater cleaning efficiency.

This NXT Plus UV filter is constructed from Schott B270 glass for increased clarity as well as color fidelity and features an aluminum-alloy filter ring for durability while remaining lightweight. It is also useful as a general protective filter to leave on lenses at all times. Such filters help to reduce dust and moisture from reaching your front lens element and provide additional protection in case of drops or situations where scratching could occur.

Q: 3. The description says the iris is clickless. However, the recent Viltrox 23mm 1.4 is also clickless, yet people point out that on a Fuji X-T3 this is pointless as the camera will only adjust the blades in steps - or clicks, if you will. This is because the aperture is not really controlled by the ring on the lens but by the camera, which wants to change the aperture in steps. So, on the Viltrox, you cannot video a smooth aperture change. So my question is, would the X-T3 have the same effect on the aperture of this lens? It would be great to find out from someone with actual experience with this lens.

A: The Viltrox 23mm f/1.4 has an electronically controlled aperture with a manual override option, which may vary in support between cameras and with internal aperture settings. The FUJIFILM MKX18-55mm T2.9 Lens however, is a fully manual operated cinema zoom lens and will not change from internal camera settings electronically.
