The details

At a glance: Leica E46 UVa Filter - 46mm Leica-branded UV protection filter.

About this accessory

The Leica E46 UVa Filter (13004) is Leica's 46mm screw-in UV-absorbing filter - fits any Leica lens with an E46 filter thread. Protects the front element and filters ultraviolet light (which can reduce haze in landscape photography).

Build & handling

Type UV/protective screw-in filter
Thread E46 (46mm, Leica designation)
Function UV filtering + front-element protection
Glass Coated glass
Frame Chrome-finished brass

Works with

  • Leica lenses with 46mm E46 filter thread
  • Any 46mm filter thread (non-Leica lenses) - generic compatibility

Best for

A Leica filter - UVa filters are traditionally used as protective glass covers for expensive lenses (a cheap filter protects a valuable front element) plus reduce atmospheric haze in landscape photography. Leica-branded filters are machined to tighter tolerances than generic alternatives, with better anti-reflection coating.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a UV filter on a digital camera?

Digital sensors have built-in UV cutoff filtering, so UV filtering isn't strictly necessary. However, a UV filter still works as protective glass for the front element - many photographers use them primarily for protection rather than UV filtering.

  • A 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.
