Tiffen 55mm UV HT High Transmission Camera Lens Filter

The Tiffen 55mm UV HT High Transmission Filter (55HTDUC) is Tiffen’s premium UV protection solution for photographers who demand the very best in optical clarity and light transmission. Unlike standard UV filters, the HT (High Transmission) series features Tiffen’s advanced multi-layer anti-reflection coatings on both surfaces, dramatically reducing flare, ghosting, and internal reflections while maximising the amount of light reaching your sensor. The result is a filter that protects your 55mm lens without any perceptible impact on image sharpness, contrast, or colour rendition — making it the preferred choice for professional photographers and serious enthusiasts who refuse to compromise on optical performance.

Crafted from Tiffen’s renowned water white optical glass using the brand’s proprietary ColorCore technology, the UV HT Filter delivers consistent, neutral colour fidelity across the entire frame. The slim, low-profile aluminium ring minimises the risk of vignetting even on wide-angle lenses, and the precision-machined 55mm filter thread ensures smooth, reliable attachment and removal. Tiffen has been manufacturing professional-grade optical filters in the United States since 1938, and the HT series represents the pinnacle of their UV filter range — trusted by cinematographers, travel photographers, and studio professionals worldwide.

Whether you’re shooting in bright coastal light, dusty safari environments, or controlled studio conditions, the Tiffen 55mm UV HT Filter shields your front element from dust, moisture, fingerprints, and accidental scratches while preserving every nuance of your lens’s optical character. Available to order from our supplier — secure yours today and give your lens the protection it deserves.
