Sigma EX DG UV Filter


Description:
Digitally Optimised (DG) Filters EX DG filters benefit from Sigma's multi-layer lens coating, developed to counteract the highly reflective characteristic of image sensors. With older style filters, light would reflect off the image sensor, bounce off the lens and filter elements and re-enter the image sensor, creating a ghost image.

The multi-layer coating dramatically reduces this effect. In addition to this, an optimum, neutral colour balance is ensured, increasing the white balance accuracy of the digital camera. Multi-coated UV Filter This filter perfectly eliminates the harmful effect of ultraviolet light.

The multi-coated UV filter can be used with both colour and black-and-white film anddigital sensors. This is the most suitable filter for protective use and generalphotography.

Pros: Great quality, multi-coated, protection
Cons: Only that it is a little pricey, but worth it.

I purchased a Sigma 150-500 second hand with one of these filters included. Very fortunate for me that it was. I am a believer in having a filter on the front of expensive lenses to protect the front element. High quality filters have a very minimal, if any, effect on image quality. The 86mm filter for the 150-500 is $125 new, but considering the cost of the lens and its front element, it is a worthwhile investment IMO. I can highly recommend this filter.

Pros: Amazing multicoated filter
Cons: No 49mm version

Sigma really knocked this brand of filter out of the park.

They're more expensive than the junk filters you can buy anywhere, but they're top notch. They're also less expensive than the high end B+W filters, which I haven't tried.

They don't scratch and dirty nearly as easily as the Hoya multicoated filters.

The multicoat makes it almost impossible to see the glass except at extreme angles.

These are on every lens I shoot with that can hold a filter, because if I scratch one of these, it's a fraction of the price than if I had scratched the lens.
