Cokin 55mm UV Filter

The Cokin 55mm UV Filter is a clear, protective screw-on filter for lenses with a 55mm filter thread, providing a permanent layer of protection for your lens’ front element against dust, moisture, fingerprints, and accidental scratches. The UV-blocking coating reduces ultraviolet light that can cause haze and a slight blue cast in outdoor images — particularly in bright sunlight, at altitude, or near water — resulting in cleaner, more neutral images straight from the camera. The filter is optically clear and has no measurable effect on exposure or colour balance in standard shooting conditions, making it an ideal always-on lens protector.

The 55mm thread size is common across a wide range of lenses from Nikon, Canon, Fujifilm, OM System, Sigma, and third-party manufacturers, making the Cokin 55mm UV Filter a widely compatible, practical accessory. Cokin is a respected French optical filter manufacturer with decades of experience producing quality filters for photographers at all levels. Available from Foto Discount World in Pretoria.
