Purchased a Nikon Neutral Clear Filter for a new Nikkor 85mm f 1.2 portrait lens. No need to have an UV filter as the coating of the element address this. The service and shipping from B&H was exceptional. The price is extremely competitive compared to buying directly from Nikon.
I know there is some controversy regarding whether putting a clear filter on a lens will affect the lens clarity. To me, it's a no-brainer to protect any new lens that I purchase as it's far easier to replace a scratched clear filter than to permanently mar the lens glass leading to a costly repair or worse. Nikon has had a very good reputation for quality optics for around 70 years. So, paying a bit more for the Nikon name is less important to me than to risk putting an inferior 3rd party lens on a nice lens and affecting the optics with distortion or lack of sharpness.
you get what you pay for.
If you must filter, than do it with this!
This is one of the finer clear filters I have used. It works great to protect the lens from dust, splashes, etc and does not seem to affect image quality. Would recommend!
Easier to clean than the front element.
Just purchased the Nikon Clear Filter for a Nikkor S lens to protect the primary element. Excellent quality and a very competitive price through B&H as opposed to buying directly from Nikon. Excellent service and rapid shipping.
I purchased this Nikon 52mm clear filter to protect my new Sigma 30mm 1.4 lens for the Leica CL. The filter does not change image quality. Great to know my lens is safer.
