Fotasy 95mm Ultra Slim Nano Coatings MRC Multi Resistant Coating HD UV Filter. This Premier UV Filter is designed for the professional photographer. The MRC UV is incredibly durable and resolves critically sharp, light transmittance can be as high as 99%. The 16-Layer Multi-Resistant Coating process hardens both optical surfaces, reduces reflections and achieves true color neutrality while maximizing contrast fidelity. MRC Filters absorb ultraviolet rays which often makes outdoor photographer hazy and indistinct. A multi-purpose, fine weather filter also serves as a permanent lens protector. Reduced internal reflections mean a clearer image with greater contrast. The UV Filter will not affect the color balance or performance of your lenses.

I'm old school - I put UV filters on all my lenses. These have a slim rim, yet fit on the lens just fine. You can't tell they're there. Inexpensive enough that if I bump or drop the lens, I won't mind if the filter breaks.

I use UV filters to protect my lenses from dust and scratches. This Fotasy filter is well made and works as well as much more expensive filters. I don't see any degradation in IQ. The filter is very thin and works well for my Fuji 16-80mm even at 16mm. I have also used lens adapters made by Fotasy and have found that the brand offers great products at an excellent price.

I don't see any difference in terms of image quality with or without this filter. I put it on after receiving and today I dropped my camera with the lens from the chair. The filter cracked and my lens is saved. I just placed an order to get a new one.

No surprises—this is a perfectly fine filter. There's nothing truly noteworthy (good or bad).KEY DETAILS:• Screws on and off easily.• Clear, clean glass.• Picture quality is unaffected.• A nice case (with a nice foam insert).• Very low-profile and lightweight.• Sharpness and contrast remain ok.39mm isn't a very common filter size. Tiffen's filter size database reveals that it's primarily limited to Leica lenses (along with two focal lengths each from Voigtlander and Fujifilm). I purchased a TTArtisan 35mm lens to experiment with the Micro Four Thirds system, and I realized that the TTArtisan lens also happens to be a part of this very small club.At the time of writing this, the majority of 39mm UV filters on B&H are only available by special order, or they cost upwards of fifty dollars… or both. This Fotasy filter was cheaper than any of the in-stock options on B&H.So, this is a tricky filter to recommend. If you need a 39mm filter for a Leica lens, you're probably not interested in a cheap filter (and the same is probably true for Voigtlander and Fujifilm lenses). On the other hand, I don't know if spending more money is really necessary, even if you're using this on a fancy lens.The bottom line: does this filter feature the finest possible glass and construction? Probably not. Is it perfectly usable? Absolutely.

Inmediatamente se ve y se siente como un filtro de precio mucho mayor, vidrio delgado con recubrimiento plástico, excelente calidad que no reduce la cantidad de luz, lo que para mí es de lo más importante.

Es un filtro de buena fabricacion que protegera tu lente sin problemas de que distorcione la resolucion de tu camara, lo recomiendo, ademas en el tono plateado se ve bien en cualquier lente.

El filtro es muy delgado, por lo que desaparece en la cámara. No produce flares ni ghosting y es muy dificil que se ensucie con un dedazo. Si sucede, se limpia con verlo.

Functionally, this is a top-quality filter in terms of glass (on a par with HMC, somewhat more difficult to clean than B+W MRC, totally planar using the arms' length test, pretty much immune to ghosting) and overall value. That said, I would draw your attention to the following:1. The mount on this is not tremendously smooth, almost a sandblasted anodized aluminum. This would not be significant if not for the fact that you can feel this "grit" when it is screwing into the smooth front of a camera lens (like the Fuji X100).2. The mount loads from the rear using a tension ring, so it is not suitable for anything but 1mm glass. The tradeoff is that you still get threads (and a shallow enough overall depth) to add another filter (some people may look at cheap UVs as a way to get cheap but elegant lens mounts).3. The diameter of the mount actually exceeds by about 1mm total the size of most 49mm mounts. This means that 51mm clamp-on accessories (such as lens hoods designed for "49mm") won't fit.4. The plastic filter case alone is worth the price. It is very similar to a B+W filter case (though very oversized for the filter it contains).5. The front rim engraving is weird and ugly. For a private-label product like this, simple pad printing in black would have been more elegant (and cheaper).I don't want to scare you away from this, but understand that this is not a $30 filter. For my purpose, which is basic protection for a Fuji X100 (using a filter seals the lens cylinder when you have the adapter mounted), it's great. In sum, this is inexpensive, highly functional, and priced at a point where if it dies protecting your lens, you won't lose any sleep.

I'm pleasantly surprised and pleased with the Fotasy Pro 40mm MRC Multi-Resistant Coating Super Slim MC UV HD Filter.I bought it for added lens protection for my Fuji X20. It screws securely onto the front of the X20's factory lens, and does not appear to degrade image quality at all.To test the filter, I used a tripod and identical camera settings to snap a half dozen identically-composed photos both with and without the filter. Even while "pixel peeping" at 150% magnification, I could detect no noticeable difference in sharpness or coloration. Then I took the camera and filter on a walk around the neighborhood and shot 167 photos during the "golden hour" (around 7:30 p.m. in the summer). Even though I shot many pictures into the bright evening light, I found only two in the entire bunch that had any hint of lens flare. Clearly, the coating on this UV filter is surprisingly good, since cheap glass ought to have flared a lot more frequently in those conditions. Although I'm not a professional photographer, I am an experienced amateur who is fastidious about image quality. This filter certainly meets my standards, and I suspect it will meet yours as well.A note about color: I think this (black) filter looks nice mounted on the front of my silver and black X20. However, the thin gold stripe around the outside of the filter housing may bother folks who obsess about camera aesthetics. It doesn't bother me, but I thought I should mention it.Overall, if you want a UV filter that offers good lens protection for a Fuji X20 without noticeably degrading image quality, this is a great choice. (I assume it will fit an X10 as well, since I believe the thread sizes are identical on both cameras.)[UPDATE 8-27-2013: After many hundreds of photos using this filter, I'm very impressed with its quality. I've had almost zero troubles with odd color casts, lens flares, loss of sharpness, reflections, etc. It's just like using the naked lens, except that this UV filter is there to guard against scratches. Although it screws very securely onto the X20 lens, I have noticed that small dust particles can somehow work their way behind it. Not a problem--I just unscrew it and wipe and blow everything clean every few days. Also, the coating on this filter is apparently quite good. After shooting and watching video from my sailboat, I noticed that small droplets of spray onto the lens tend to run off and disappear almost immediately. It's unbelievable that I purchased this for under $8, but even at the full listed price of $28 it would be a good deal.]
