At a glance: The Urth 62mm UV Filter is a clear protective filter for lenses with a 62mm thread, made with Japanese AGC glass and covered by a lifetime warranty.
About this accessory
Urth's Standard UV filter in 62mm is a thread-in clear filter built from Japanese AGC optical glass. A multi-layer nano-coating (8 layers per Urth) helps transmission and cuts glare, and the ultra-slim aluminium frame is designed to limit vignetting.
Think of it as cheap insurance for a front element. It is clear, so there is no exposure compensation to think about, and the warranty is for life. Plus+ and Pro are the step-ups, with SCHOTT B270 glass and tempered AERO-C10 glass respectively.

Frequently asked questions
What lenses take the 62mm UV Filter?
Any lens with a 62mm front thread will take it. Your lens will have its filter thread printed on the barrel or cap, shown as ø followed by millimetres. 62mm means this one fits without any adapters.
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..
