Due to its light pink color, the Skylight (1A) reduces the bluish cast of daylight and produces a pleasing, warmer picture tone. Wise initial investments, they help protect your lens from dust, moisture and scratches, which can lead to costly repairs. If desired they can be left on at all times for protection. Skylight filters provide additional benefits of correction for Ultraviolet(UV) light which can register on film and videotape as a bluish cast and can obscure distant details. Also used to reduce the bluish cast common with some electronic flash units.

Filter factor is approximately 1.1

    This is an odd size; so order one with your OEM kit lens when buying an Olympus EP-1 or EPL-1 with the kit lens. Protect your lens!

          Comments about Konica Minolta 40.5mm Skylight (1B) Glass Filter:

          I bought this filter for my Olympus mZuiko 14-42mm lens because it was listed as an accessory for this lens. I found that it is vignetting at the wide-angle end of the zoom. I am no longer using it.
