Heliopan SH-PMC 72mm Uv Filter

Heliopan glass filters are made with glass from Schott (Zeiss) the world's finest optical glass supplier.

Heliopan filters are "dyed in the mass" and ground, polished and coated to the highest standards of the German optical industry. All Heliopan screw-in type and series size filters are mounted in precision black anodized brass rings to eliminate binding or cross threading and to ensure optimal alignment. The care, quality and performance of Heliopan's filters make them simply the world's finest filters! Heliopan supplies screw-in filters in all sizes from 19 x 0.5 mm to 127 x 0.75 mm. They offer all series sizes from series V to 93 mm. They make square filters in 2 x 2 to 4 x 4" sizes, and Bayonet filters in Bay I, II, II, IV, V, 50, 60, 70, and 104 sizes.

Besides the usual range of filters, Heliopan supplies 13 different types of polarizers, Graduated wide-angle filters, Digital and Video filters, and a full range of special effect filters.

All filters that will benefit from coatings are hard coated on both sides, with 3 layers per side,16 layer multi coatings are also available on many Heliopan filters. The top layer on all Heliopan coated filters repel dust and moisture and the SH-PMC coating passes 99.9% of the light striking it to the image plane.

Heliopan also offers a complete range of step-up rings for filters up to 105mm and lenses as small as 27 mm. Heliopan also supplies Hasselblad, Rollei and Zeiss bayonet to screw mount adapters and Hasselblad screw mount to bayonet adapters. Also, supplied are metal and rubber lenshoods from 24 to 122 mm and gel and glass filter holders for up to 4" glass filters. On special order, custom adapters are available.

Heliopan offers at no extra charge, Circular polarizers in slim mounts for use on lenses as wide as 21 mm. without vignetting! The rims are fully calibrated also! They are available multicoated at extra cost. These filters have no front threads so a push-on cap is required.

Heliopan Digital Filter

This filter has been especially designed for imaging with digital sensors since they have a significantly higher sensitivity in the IR area then film material it blocks both disturbing UV and IR light. The result is improved color separation and sharpness.

The UV protection blocks UV radiation in daylight. In addition colors are improved especially in the blue and red channels. Since artificial light contains especially high IR radiation the filter ensures better control of the blue channel. This dichroic coated specialty filter should not be used with extreme wide angle lenses.

Heliopan UV Filter

The UV or Haze filter is not only an excellent filter for visually improving images on both digital and film but it can always stay on the lens to protect it from fingerprints, dust, moisture, etc. It absorbs the short wave portion of the spectrum so in hazy conditions a better image of the scene is possible. Loss of sharpness from UV Rays and the blue tones common in infinity scenes are eliminated. No exposure correction is needed. Available in both standard and SH-PMC coatings.

Heliopan Protection Filter

The Heliopan Protection Filter is optimally ground from special raw glass and coated with Heliopan's SH-PMC 16 layer multi-coating to protect the lens while adding no color whatsoever. This protects the lens, and to avoid expensive repairs to lenses, especially as many digicams have a non-removable built-in zoom lens.

Heliopan Polarizing Filters

Polarizing Filters reduce reflections and glare, they are a neutral color and can be used for color or black and white imaging.
As the light coming from the sun is not polarized parts of the light become partially polarized due to the scattering of particles in the atmosphere. This scattering reduces the transparency of the air and creates haze in the distance and the blue in the sky on a sunny day.

Polarization also controls in the reflections of light on the original color of the surface.

The Heliopan Polarizer improves the color of the sky, (in distant pictures, mountain scenes, etc.) it reduces the bluish cast in landscapes and increases the blue color of the sky. The effect is strongest at a 90 degree angle to the sun.

In addition polarizers enchance the color saturation of the scene by suppressing the reflections on the su
