The Marumi 72mm MC UV filter is a multi-coated protective filter sized for larger zooms and fast telephotos, guarding an expensive front element while cutting ultraviolet haze.
Key Features
- Multi-coated glass minimises reflections and flare on wide, bright scenes
- UV absorption reduces atmospheric haze at distance
- Front element protection — far cheaper to replace a filter than a lens
- Anodised black frame for a secure, clean thread fit
- Front filter thread so hoods, caps and stacked filters still attach
Which lenses take 72mm?
72mm appears on larger standard zooms, fast telephotos and some wide-angle lenses across Canon, Nikon, Sony and Sigma ranges. Confirm against your own lens before ordering.
Specifications
- Filter size: 72mm
- 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 72mm filter will not fit a 67mm or 77mm lens.
Ships nationwide across the Philippines.
Frequently asked questions
Why would a 72mm lens need more protection than a smaller one?
Larger zoom and telephoto lenses generally cost considerably more than compact lenses, so protecting an expensive front element with a cheap, replaceable filter makes even more financial sense at this size.
Does it affect image quality on a wide, bright scene?
Multi-coating specifically minimises the reflections and flare that show up in wide, bright compositions, which is exactly the kind of shot larger zoom lenses are often used for.
Will 72mm fit my lens?
Check the thread diameter marked on your lens barrel. Filters are size-specific, so only a lens with a genuine 72mm thread will accept this filter.
Is it worth it on an expensive telephoto?
Generally yes. A scratched or cracked filter costs a fraction of what a damaged front element does to repair, and a multi-coated filter keeps the optical penalty small enough that most users leave it on permanently.
