CineClear UV Protection Filter, 82mm
Our Review
Moment CineClear UV Protection Filter — Genuine Lens Protection Without the Image Quality Penalty
The gist: A professional-grade UV filter made from German Schott B270 optical glass — protects your lens from the scratches, dust, and fingerprints of travel without the color shift or contrast loss that budget UV filters introduce.
- 98.5% light transmission: The highest-grade glass means effectively zero impact on exposure or color accuracy — shoot with it permanently on and never notice a quality difference.
- 16-layer anti-reflection coatings: Repels dust, oil, and fingerprints at the surface level — far fewer smudge cleanings per trip compared to uncoated alternatives.
- Stackable design: Pairs cleanly with Moment's ND, CPL, or CineBloom diffusion filters — build a compact filter system around a single UV base for landscape and travel work.
- Aerospace-grade metal frame: Slim machined construction that threads on and off cleanly — no binding or vignetting issues with wide-angle lenses.
PetaPixel covered the CineClear launch, noting Moment's use of Schott B270 glass — the same optical-grade material specified for high-end cinema and broadcast filters — as the key differentiator from cheaper UV alternatives.
Best for: Travel photographers who want set-it-and-forget-it lens protection for their most-used glass without sacrificing image quality. Skip it if: You shoot exclusively in controlled indoor environments where lens protection is less critical. Runs ~$24 — check the current price before buying.
