UV Protection Filter for Nikon AF-S DX NIKKOR 16-85mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR — Blocks UV, Reduces Bluish Daylight Cast, Protects Against Dust & Scratches

Fits Nikon AF-S DX NIKKOR 16-85mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR. This UV filter is engineered to absorb ultraviolet radiation that can produce hazy, low-contrast images—an effect that becomes pronounced at high altitudes, on the coast, or in snowy conditions. By cutting the bluish cast often seen in daylight, it helps deliver more natural color rendition and improved clarity in outdoor photography. Optically neutral and crystal clear, the filter has a 1x filter factor (+0 stop), so it won’t alter exposure, contrast, or color balance. You retain the lens’s original sharpness, fine detail, and accurate colors while benefiting from UV reduction. Designed for everyday use, the filter serves as a durable front-element shield you can leave on permanently. It protects against scratches, dust, dirt, water spots, fingerprints, and accidental contact, and adds a layer of defense against bumps, drops, and abrasions to help extend the life of your lens.
