Description The worlds strongest protective filter If you are looking for the ultimate protection for your lens, look no further. The Athabasca Protector filter is the first and only filter in the market to use Tempered Corning Gorilla Glass II. To test the strength of the filter, Athabasca created an experiment, dropping a steel ball bearing onto the filter from a height of 120cm. The filter sustained ten impacts without breaking! Why a protector filter and not a UV filter? In the era of digital photography, CCD and CMOS sensors in digital cameras are not as sensitive to UV rays as traditional film. Today, UV filters are mainly used to protect the lens. For this reason, Athabasca has developed a professional protector using Gorilla Glass. The glass has extremely high light transmittance, is water-and-stain-proof, has a scratch resistant coating and is THE MOST impact-resistance protecting filter in the market. Specifications Frame Material: Environmentally oxidized aviation aluminium Glass: Corning Gorilla Tempered Glass II Filter Coating: Double-sided anti-reflective coating, water-and-stain-proof, scratch resistant. Filter Thickness: 3.42mm
