Moment CineClear UV Protection Filter — Permanent Lens Protection With Zero Image Quality Cost
The gist: A UV protection filter built from German Schott B270 glass with a 98.5% light transmission rate and 16 optical coatings — protects your lens from dust, scratches, and fingerprints on the road without degrading the image quality you’re paying for.
- German Schott B270 glass, 98.5% transmission: One of the most transparent optical glass formulations available in filter-grade glass — nearly all incoming light passes through without color shift or added haze that cheaper UV filters introduce.
- 16 layers of optical coatings: Anti-reflection, dust-resistant, fingerprint-resistant, and reflection-resistant coatings in a single filter — cleaning becomes easier and the filter actively repels the smudges and grime that accumulate during travel.
- Stackable design, no vignetting: Designed to stack with CineBloom or other Moment filters and to accept standard lens caps — keeps your filter stack modular without losing the cap-protection function between shoots.
- Protects the lens, not the photograph: CineClear uses optical-grade glass specifically to avoid the “UV filter tax” — the noticeable image softening, ghosting, or flare that lower-grade UV glass introduces on wide-angle or backlit scenes.
Moment’s product documentation confirms the CineClear uses German Schott B270 glass with a 98.5% transmission rate — the optical standard referenced by professional photographers who need UV protection that genuinely doesn’t degrade image quality.
Best for: Travel photographers and videographers who want a permanent, high-quality lens protector that won’t compromise the optical performance of their glass. Skip it if: You prefer to shoot unprotected and rely on a lens hood — the CineClear adds a filter element even if it’s minimally invasive.
