At a glance: The Urth 52mm UV Filter Plus+ is a clear protective filter for 52mm lens threads, with SCHOTT B270 glass, a 30-layer coating and about 99% light transmission.
About this accessory
This 52mm Plus+ UV filter is built on German SCHOTT B270 glass. A 30-layer CoraNano coating on both faces keeps reflections to a stated 0.38% and transmission to 99.00%, and the L41 cut-off trims atmospheric haze. The 6061 aluminium frame is ultra-slim.
Because it passes about 99% of the light, it can stay on the lens all day without exposure changes. Urth's Plus+ tier sits between Standard and Pro, adding German glass and a denser coating over the entry tier.

Works with

Best for
Useful on lenses that see regular outdoor use, from Yorkshire moorland walks to city street photography, where protection with high transmission and low reflectance is wanted. Check the ø mark on your lens to confirm the 52mm thread first.
Frequently asked questions
Will the 52mm UV Filter Plus+ fit my lens?
It fits any lens with a 52mm filter thread, whatever the make or mount. Look for the diameter symbol (ø) followed by a number on the front of the lens barrel or inside the lens cap. If it reads 52, this filter screws straight on.
Will this filter darken my images?
No. Urth states about 99% light transmission, so it is effectively a clear filter and your normal exposure settings apply.
What is the difference between Urth UV Standard, Plus+ and Pro?
Standard uses Japanese AGC glass with a multi-layer coating. Plus+ uses German SCHOTT B270 glass with a 30-layer dual-side coating, and Pro uses tempered AERO-C10 glass with a 34-layer coating.
Does it have a lifetime warranty?
Urth lists a lifetime warranty on the UV Filter Plus+. Ask our Harrogate shop if you want details of how it is handled.
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..
