Can I use a UV filter for lens protection?
Yes. You can leave your UV filter on your lens all the time. It protects the front element of your valuable camera lens and makes it easy for you to keep your lens clean and safe in wild weather and rugged environments.
What is a Neutral Density (ND) lens filter used for?
An ND filter allows you to control the amount of light in your image so you can do longer exposures.
The filter stops light reaching the camera sensor, so you can leave the camera with a higher aperture for longer. ND filters don’t affect colour.
Shoot long exposures during the day. Shoot in bright light without overexposing your images. Use slower shutter speeds to create dramatic effects that emphasise movement. Videographers use ND filters in bright conditions for more consistent light and colour.
Minimise time spent in post-production by taking better images and video.
What is a Circular Polarizing (CPL) filter used for?
Photographers use polarizing filters when shooting landscapes to capture rich, clear shots in challenging bright conditions. Darken skies, manage reflections, add colour saturation, and suppress glare.
Okko’s fully adjustable CPL filter allows you to control polarisation for colour saturation and greater contrast.
How do I know what size of lens filter I need?
Match the size of your lens filter to the size of your camera lens. To find this size, look at the front of your camera lens. You’ll see the size is printed on the front frame of your lens.
