The Heliopan 37mm KR 1.5 Skylight 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. It 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.

The front and rear surfaces of the filter both feature a single anti-reflection coating. Each coating helps to increase light transmission by reducing reflections, scattered light, and ghosting. Additionally, they offer protection to the filter substrate while helping to keep the glass clean for longer than uncoated glass.

This Heliopan filter is constructed from Schott glass for increased optical clarity and color fidelity. It features a brass filter ring for durability as well as jamming prevention.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Does the 58" filter have front threads? Does this filter have UV protection ?

A: This does not have front threads and does not offer UV protection.

Q: 2. Does the B+W T-Pro Clear Filter have front threads for a screw in lens hood?

A: The B+W 52mm T-PRO Clear Filter has both front and rear 52mm filter threads for a 52mm lens cap or screw-in lens cap.

Q: 3. In May 2024, does new B+W T-Pro Clear Filter comes in leather black B+W pouches (ones without dust issues.)?

A: Yes, the B+W 62mm T-PRO Clear Filter comes with the leather case inside of a seal carbon box. Due to the manufactures rules and conditions we are not authorized to open a seal box. However I own several of this filters, and if there is any manufacturer dust on the filter, they are very easy to clean using a LensPen cleaner or a microfiber cleaning cloth.

Q: 4. What is the thickness of this filter?

A: It is not a slim filter - but that is what I love about Heliopan = their construction! A fine piece of German glass encased in a brass ring that won't stick or bind. These are the only filters I put on my lenses.

Q: 5. Does this filter have front lens threads?

A: Yes, the Heliopan 40.5mm UV SH-PMC Filter has a 40.5mm front filter thread.

Q: 6. I read a customer review in Amazon which indicates that this filter does not fit the canon cap for the EF 24-105mm lens. Is that true?I currently own 2 L-class canon lenses the EF 24-105 f/4 kit bought with Canon EOS 6D and the EF 17-40 f/4. Both need 77mm UV filters. I have already had two (2) non-heliopan 77 mm filters ,but want to upgrade to Heliopan filters and want to make sure they fit my canon lense caps.Thank you for your answer

A: As these filters are slimmer than most, the front thread may not necessarily grip a clip-on lens cap. You may want to try a screw-on cap instead:Sensei 77mm Screw-In Metal Lens CapB&H # SELCM77 Mfr # LCM-77

Q: 7. Does the filter come with a plastic protector case?

A: Yes, the Heliopan 58mm KR 1.5 Skylight (1A) SH-PMC Filter would come with a plastic case.

Q: 8. Will this filter work on the Leica 50mm Summilux lens with the pull out hood?

A: If you are referring to the Leica Summilux-M 50mm f/1.4 ASPH. Lens (Black) then yes this filter would work.

Q: 9. Will I still be able to use the lens hood on the Sigma 30mm 1.4 dc dn, on my Sony A6400 with this clear filter?

A: Yes, using the B+W 52mm T-PRO Clear Filter on the Sigma 30mm f/1.4 DC DN Contemporary Lens (Sony E) the dedicated hood the lens came with will fit.

Q: 10. Clear filter or UV for a Sony 24-70mm f/2.8 GM lens?

A: Clear filters are recommended for digital cameras. UV filters have a slight optical effect that can soften the image slightly.

[Brass] I still shoot film on occasion, and this helps tame down harsh colors. Good brass holder to keep from sticking to aluminum threads. 5

[0.1 lb] Excellent color. Performs flawlessly giving exacting colors. 5

[37 mm] Nicely made. Heavy brass ring is low profile. So smooth going on, tightens gradually with feel. Multicoated on both sides, should be optically excellent. Expensive, sure, but so's my lens and now I won't worry about the slightest degradation in optical performance. I get the Skylight (slightly colored) version just because I always have since way back in the days of film, so now all my filters are consistent. I would be very surprised if the color or anything about this filter causes the slightest noticeable degradation of anything. 5

[0.1 lb] In my opinion Heliopan make the best filters. I own quite a few Heliopan filters and they are of very high quality. 5

[37 mm] 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. 5

[Brass] It really is worth the extra money. It makes a big difference in the pictures. 5

[37 mm] 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... 5

[37 mm] 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. 5
