The Marumi 37mm MC UV filter is ₱375 at VMI Direct, a multi-coated protective filter for small lenses.
Which lenses take a 37mm filter?
Small compact primes, pancake lenses, many Micro Four Thirds lenses and some camcorders. Look for the 37mm thread size printed on the front of the lens or inside the lens cap.
- Multi-coated glass
- Slim frame reduces vignetting
Will a UV filter affect my photo quality?
A good multi-coated filter like the Marumi has very little effect on sharpness and reduces flare compared with uncoated filters. Remove it if you see ghosting when shooting straight into bright lights at night.
- Larger size: Marumi 46mm
- More: camera accessories
The Marumi 37mm MC UV filter is a multi-coated protective filter for compact lenses, guarding the front glass while cutting ultraviolet haze in bright outdoor light.
Key Features
- Multi-coated glass reduces internal reflections and flare compared with uncoated filters
- UV absorption cuts atmospheric haze in landscapes and bright daylight
- Everyday lens protection against dust, moisture, fingerprints and scratches
- Slim anodised black frame to minimise vignetting on wide lenses
- Front filter thread so lens caps and stacked filters still attach
Which lenses take 37mm?
37mm is a small thread found on compact primes, pancake lenses and many Micro Four Thirds optics, as well as some camcorders and compact cameras. Confirm against your own lens before ordering.
Specifications
- Filter size: 37mm
- Type: MC (multi-coated) UV
- Frame colour: black
Check your filter size before ordering. It is printed on your lens barrel or inside the lens cap, marked with the ø symbol. A 37mm filter will not fit a 40.5mm or 43mm lens.
Ships nationwide across the Philippines.
Frequently asked questions
Will a UV filter affect my image quality?
With a multi-coated filter like this one, the effect is minimal to unnoticeable in normal shooting. Uncoated or cheap filters can introduce flare and reflections in bright or backlit scenes; multi-coating is specifically what avoids that.
Do I actually need UV protection with digital cameras?
Digital sensors are far less sensitive to UV than old film was, so the haze-cutting effect is minor today. The real ongoing value is physical protection for the front element, which is far cheaper to replace than a scratched or cracked lens.
Will 37mm fit my lens?
Check the filter thread size printed on your lens barrel or cap, usually shown as a diameter in millimetres preceded by a circle-slash symbol. Filters are size-specific and a 37mm will only fit a 37mm thread.
Should I leave it on permanently?
Many photographers do, treating it as a sacrificial layer of protection. The tradeoff is one more glass surface for light to pass through, though a quality multi-coated filter keeps that impact very small.
