At a glance: Urth's entry UV filter in 40.5mm: clear AGC glass, an ultra-slim aluminium frame and a lifetime warranty, for lenses with a 40.5mm thread.
About this accessory
This 40.5mm UV filter sits at the Standard tier of the Urth range. Japanese AGC optical glass is paired with a multi-layer nano-coating, listed by Urth as 8 layers, inside a thin threaded aluminium ring made for a 40.5mm lens thread.
Choose it when you want simple everyday protection from dust, fingerprints and scratches without paying for a higher tier. Being a clear filter, it needs no exposure compensation. Plus+ steps up to SCHOTT B270 glass with a 30-layer coating, and Pro to tempered AERO-C10 glass.

Best for
Suited to photographers who leave a filter on all the time. It is handy for dusty trails, seaside spray, crowded events and handing a camera to someone else, anywhere the front glass is at risk. A 40.5mm thread is a small one, so check the ø mark on your lens to be sure.
Frequently asked questions
Will the 40.5mm UV Filter fit my lens?
It fits any lens with a 40.5mm filter thread, whatever the make or mount. The thread size is printed on the lens, usually as ø40.5 on the front rim or on the inside of the lens cap. The number is the filter thread, not the focal length.
Is a UV filter worth fitting to a modern lens?
Not for image quality, as digital sensors are far less sensitive to UV than film. Most people fit a clear UV filter as a cheap, replaceable guard against scratches, dust and fingerprints on the front element.
Do I need to adjust exposure with this filter?
No exposure compensation is needed. It is a clear filter, so your normal metering and settings carry on as before.
How does the Standard tier differ from Plus+ and Pro?
Standard uses Japanese AGC optical glass with a multi-layer coating. Plus+ moves to SCHOTT B270 glass with a 30-layer dual-side coating, and Pro uses tempered AERO-C10 glass with a 34-layer coating.
Why buy from Bass & Bligh
Bought from a real shop, not a warehouse.
Dispatched on the Monday… great service
Ordered a Panasonic four thirds lens dispatched on the Monday after purchase and delivered on the following Tuesday great service. Tried on the camera and initial thoughts are wow pin sharp and clear photos. Thank you
George P.Ordered a lens onlineA proper little treasure trove
3rd time I've been to this shop to treat myself to some new kit. Always very friendly and knowledgeable. Fairly priced too. I would highly recommend a visit if your nearby and looking for camera gear. I'd say if they don't have what your looking for, it's probably not possible to find anywhere. It's a proper little treasure trove.
Philip B.Third visit to the shopBrilliant advice with awesome customer service
Sure you can buy online and possibly save a few pounds.. but if you require and appreciate knowledge and brilliant advice with awesome customer service then it's a no brainer...This is a real camera shop like it used to be back int day..
