At a glance: Urth's Plus+ UV filter in 55mm combines German SCHOTT B270 glass with a 30-layer dual-side coating and a lifetime warranty.
About this accessory
For a lens with a 55mm thread, the Urth UV Filter Plus+ offers SCHOTT B270 glass, a 30-layer nano-coating on both sides and an L41 UV cut-off. The frame is ultra-slim 6061 aluminium, and the warranty is for life.
Pick this over the Standard tier if you want SCHOTT glass and a 30-layer coating on both faces, which helps keep flare and colour cast down when shooting into bright light. Pro is the step above if impact resistance matters most.

Frequently asked questions
Will the 55mm UV Filter Plus+ fit my lens?
Any lens with a 55mm front thread will take it. Your lens will have its filter thread printed on the barrel or cap, shown as ø followed by millimetres. 55mm means this one fits without any adapters.
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..
