which uv filters are resistant to water??

hll · 06-18-2008, 04:16 AM

think about the weathersealed lenses' front element, they let you clean the water easily. (they do something, they collect the water drops together and when you blow they go away) i saw a b+w or hoya model does the same thing but could not find them. may you please send me the link of the model(s) which are multicoated and resistant to water. i want to use it with my 50-135...
many thanks

Hello,

You should check Marumi filters. They are of very high quality, definitelly in the range of best Hoya filters (at least in my opinion). I have one Water resistant UV filter which I use on my 200mm tele lens. More than once, the "water repelent" coating proved it's name.

Hope this helps.

thank you bostjan,
i think marumi is a good option. i found them on ebay it 34 dolar and shipping to Turkey is 8 dolar.
i found b+ w mrc uv filters on B&H photo for 50 $
B+W | 67mm UV Haze 010 (MRC) Multi-Resistant Coating | 66070236
are they water repellent, too???
many thanks

Well, I'm not sure about the B+W filters if they have Water proof coating or not, I haven't tried them yet. Anyway, their web site states that MRC (Multi Resistant Coating) is dust and water repellent, so they should be (see: Schneider Optics - Home )

Be carefull to get a WPC (Water Proof Coating) filter if You are thinking about Marumi - not all filters are water proof coated!
