PM UV HGX Prime 46mm Filter

I was skeptical about spending this much on a filter, but the way it transmits light is noticeably better than my old one. The coating really does make cleaning it effortless.

This filter is noticeably thinner and lighter than standard ones I've used before, and it doesn't introduce any color cast. The coating really does repel dust and smudges, which keeps my images clear. It's a small investment for noticeably better glass.

I was skeptical about paying extra for a filter, but the individual grinding process is clearly worth it—the sharpness didn’t drop at all. Dirt and smudges just wipe off without leaving streaks, which has saved me time cleaning in the field.
