Olympus PRF-D52 Protection Filter

This filter is designed for any lens with a 52mm filter thread. While it is optimized for the M.Zuiko Digital ED 9-18mm, it will physically attach to any lens that accepts a 52mm diameter filter.

The multi-coating is specifically designed to minimize internal reflections and flare, which helps maintain the contrast and sharpness of your images. It is highly transparent and should not cause any noticeable loss in light transmission.

The black-rimmed glass helps prevent internal light reflections from bouncing off the edge of the filter glass. This design choice is intended to reduce ghosting and ensure your images remain clear and free of unwanted artifacts.

Yes, this filter is intended to serve as a permanent protective layer for your front element. It shields the lens from dust, moisture, and accidental scratches without needing to be removed during standard shooting.

The PRF-D52 PRO features a slim profile that generally allows for the attachment of standard lens hoods. However, if you are using a specialized hood that clips onto the filter thread itself, you may need to remove the filter first.
