Gobe 37mm UV Lens Filter (2Peak)

A good filter is of utmost importance to me. There are some "purists" who insist that there must never be a bulky layer of glass To me, it is better to add a filter to an expensive lens in order to protect it. Coatings that reflect the light. Filters from this manufacturer are available at several "tiers" of quality, and I typically go for the ones at the top. There's a lot I've said about Gobe in that long introduction. The filters they sell on Amazon were familiar to me, but I had not paid attention to them. A friend told me that Gobe was the only source for filters and lens adapters, so I decided to search for those. In general, the reviews were positive and I decided to consider trying one out. It would have been better if I had 16-inch The coating is a middle level, and Japan's optical glass is chosen as the layering. It was difficult to keep the smudge-resistant outer layer clean, but it was hydrophobic so I wasn't worried. When it arrived, I compared it with a top-quality filter I normally buy from my supplier, one that arrived the same day as it did. threads of the filter are free of burrs, the rim is precisely machined and the filter slides smoothly onto the lens. Even though I don't have a scientific eyeball, my eyeball is pretty accurate with calibrated vision. In my research, I found that the level of antimicrobial The other filter should reflect the same amount of light. Upon opening the package, it was clean out of the package, where the Japanese filter required the packaging to be cleaned of some light haze. During testing, I noticed no variations or irregularities in the surface or light quality on a variety of surfaces, textures, or light sources. * I have this filter mounted on a fairly high-end digital lens from Olympus. If I find any reason to suspect that the filter is inferior to the filters I have been using OR if it damages the quality of the image compared to the lens without a filter, I will report back. At the moment, however, I am able to endorse Gobe enthusiastically.

Filters like this are fantastic. The recyclable cardboard box provides exceptional protection during shipping, and since I don't plan to remove one of the filters later as it's main function is to protect an expensive lens, the fancy packaging that other manufacturers include is unnecessary because you will only need it It is a bit confusing because the colors in the anti-freeze reflect back the colors of There is no need to apply a reflective coating as it is a reflection of an unwanted internal reflection, not an element contributing to You can measure the amount of internal reflections on the face of a lens or filter by looking at the color of the reflected light on its face. This does not affect the pictures you take, but allows you to tell how well the coating is preventing harmful reflections on a lens face. This filter has eight different coatings on both sides to eliminate internal reflections. It is a complex process to get the eight different coatings on both sides of the filter, and it is expensive. Lenses and filters that are cheaper tend to have a faint violet reflective appearance because they generally only have one kind of coating that is applied to both sides of the glass, while those that are better will have an amber looking layer that indicates a more elaborate multicoated lens or filter. The green color of the most expensive lenses and filters has for years been exclusive to Carl Zeiss lenses. It appears on Carl Zeiss lenses under the "T*" logo brand of lenses and filters. As the only source of raw optical glass used for lens making that had the same optical properties as glass produced on the Zeiss JANA works, Minolta was the leader for many years. With Sony having acquired Minolta, it comes as no surprise to me that Sony can offer Zeiss-branded lenses aboard its higher end cameras because Sony would easily be able to comply with the conditions required to properly use the Zeiss trademarks. I took a picture using my T* coating on one lens and no anti-reflective coating on the other, taken with an identical lens. They are coated in reflective materials. As Zeiss states, the "T" in the names of these lenses and filters stands for "Transparency" since their optical properties allow a glass to dissolve.

Just the optics alone are outstanding, at least as good as B+W, according to me. Despite this, its performance was far from what was expected. A few days after being in a high humidity environment, I noticed that the inside of the filter was Filters outside did not fog and were fine on the outside. On the last day, I switched this filter for a multi-hole filter of the same size The same issue did not occur the next day when we had a coated filter from B+W. The fogging returned when I repeated these steps with the Gobe filter. Having now discovered that these filters should not be used in humid environments, I know to avoid them. There has never been an issue with these in non-business environments This is because the optical properties of the surface make it ideally suited for humid environments. Be sure to factor this in before making a purchase.

Obtaining information about filters from different resources, I found this company had the most consistent reviews on their product line. My wife, the photographer in our family, had an accident with one of her favorite lenses, a 24 70 Canon. That's why I bought this filter. In addition to her wedding photoshoots, she uses it for many other shoots as well. It was such a freaking surprise when the filter on my Canon cracked that my wife was absolutely terrified. It was a filter, not a lens, I found out as soon as she got home. A shoot was scheduled after the Gabe filter was introduced, and our images turned out fantastic. In addition to protecting your lens, filters are also good at protecting your lenses' glass. So buy a good filter. As well as great images, you'll get great service. *This is P. There was a problem with the filter. The shoot my wife was on took place in August, so there was a lot of exposure to the sun and a lot of direct exposure to the The conditioning process. By the way, the filter, which was $6-7, just cracked after being repeated 5 or 6 times in that manner. When you pay for something, you get what you paid.
