About this accessory
The Urth 77mm UV Filter is the Standard-tier clear filter in Urth's range. It uses Japanese AGC optical glass with a multi-layer nano-coating (8 layers, according to Urth) in an ultra-slim aluminium frame, and it screws onto any lens with a 77mm filter thread.
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.

- Lenses with a 77mm filter thread
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. 77mm is a large thread, so confirm the ø mark on your lens before ordering.
Frequently asked questions
Is this the right filter for a 77mm lens thread?
It fits lenses with a 77mm front filter thread. 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 77, this filter screws straight on.
Do I need a UV filter on a digital camera?
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.
Does the Urth UV Filter change my exposure?
No. A clear UV filter does not reduce the light meaningfully, so you do not need exposure compensation.
Can I use the 77mm size on smaller lenses?
Yes. A step-up ring from the smaller lens thread to 77mm lets you share one larger filter across several lenses, which is often cheaper than buying one filter per lens. Wide-angle lenses may show vignetting with a ring fitted.

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..
