Chiaro 49mm 95-UVAT UV Filter

The 49mm 95-UVAT UV Filter is one of Chiaro’s highly-rated protective UV filters with 95% light transmission. It’s useful for photographers of all levels who demand high-quality glass and other essential features for great image fidelity and construction.

To achieve 95% light transmission, Chiaro uses highly-polished optical glass, multi-coating, and additional advanced elements that improve the filter’s light transmission. A hard-anodized aluminum filter ring is designed to screw on and off effortlessly, and it’s thin to prevent vignetting when used with wide-angle lenses.

Image quality is what matters most at Chiaro. The company has tested and combined many features and essentials to achieve superior image quality and the highest light transmission. To help take the confusion out of selecting a filter, Chiaro prominently displays the light transmission levels so you can choose the perfect filter for your lens and photo session.

95% Light Transmission
Protect your lens while maintaining optical quality. By using highly-polished optical glass, Chiaro offers a 95% transmission rate. And the company verifies the ratings with ISO certified lab testing.
Polished Optical Glass
Highly-polished glass is essential to achieve a high level of light transmission. The optical glass in this Chiaro filter is polished for flatness that ensures great optical clarity.
Multi-Coating
Multi-coating enhances light transmission to the demanding level set for all Chiaro filters. It reduces unwanted internal reflections and ghosting that can compromise your images.
UV Protection
The filter blocks UV light and reduces the bluish cast of daylight that can affect color accuracy, especially at higher altitudes.
Hard Anodized Aluminum Construction
The process of hard anodizing toughens and strengthens the aluminum for a lightweight yet durable filter ring.
Slim Design
Measuring only 3.2mm, this filter is slim enough to use on wide-angle lenses without experiencing vignetting.
Top Knurling
Top knurling is designed to offer a firm grip on the filter when you're attaching or removing it.
Secure Attachment
It takes two full turns to mount the filter on your lens. This feature will securely hold your Chiaro filter through the most demanding photo shoots.
Front Threads
The front threads on the filter allow you to stack filters by screwing them onto your Chiaro filter.

Sony E 20mm f/2.8 Reviews

Compact

By Rocco
Rated 4 out of 5
Date: 2025-06-18

Buy it for its compact size. Pause before buying it for its optical qualities. This is a very well built, very compact lens with good AF. It renders nicely but it’s not going to win any contests for its sharpness. It’s sharp enough to deliver very nice images. But irrespective of the aperture, it never sharpens up enough for me to suggest it’s a sharp lens. I paired mine with the wide converter (turns the 20mm into 16mm). Bought a like new used copy on B&H for little to nothing. Very nice compact addition and does not degrade the optics.

Does it allow full manual control of the focus?
Asked by: Gerardo
If the camera is set to manual focus, then you would be able to use the focus ring on the front of the Sony E 20mm f/2.8 Lens to focus the lens manually. The lens does not have a built-in aperture ring, so you would have to set the aperture of the lens using the control dials on your camera body.

Will this work for full-format Sony cameras, like the a9?

Physically this will mount on a full frame camera such as the A9 however it will need to be shot in apsc or super 35 mode to avoid vignetting.

How does this compare to the 16-50mm f3.5-5.6 kit lens? Is it worth getting if I've already got the kit lens?
Asked by: Troy
This is probably one of the best lenses you can get for e-mount. And it's cheap. If you're a very good photographer, you might be able to get away with using the kit lens and still pull good shots. I'm a novice and I shot noticeably better images with this lens. The main draw for me was the size. It's half the height of the kit lens from the camera body, and I can fit my 5100 in my pocket very easily. At first I thought this would be a wide angle lens, then I realized it's 33mm in full frame equivalent. So think of this as a very portable, clear shooting 35mm prime.

Asked by: Anonymous
This lens is also not designed for 35mm sensors. Lenses for 35mm work on APS-C but not the other way around.
