Question 1

What does a UV filter actually do on a digital camera?

Accepted Answer

On digital cameras the UV-blocking effect is largely handled by the sensor's built-in filter, so the main practical benefit is lens protection. A UV filter sits in front of your front element and takes the hit from dust, moisture, and accidental contact instead of your expensive glass.

Question 2

How do I know if a 62mm filter thread fits my lens?

Accepted Answer

Check the inside of your lens cap or the barrel of your lens for a ø symbol followed by a number — if it says ø62 or 62mm, this filter screws straight on. The 62mm thread size is printed on the lens itself in most cases, so you don't need to measure anything.

Question 3

Does a UV filter affect image quality or sharpness?

Accepted Answer

A quality UV filter made with optical glass has a negligible impact on sharpness. Cheaper or dirty filters can introduce flare or reduce contrast, especially shooting into the light. Keeping the filter clean matters more than the filter itself.

Question 4

Is buying a used UV filter worth it?

Accepted Answer

Yes — UV filters don't have moving parts or electronics, so a second-hand one in good condition performs identically to a new one. Just check that the glass is free of deep scratches and the filter thread isn't cross-threaded before buying.

Question 5

Can I stack a 62mm UV filter with a polariser or ND filter?

Accepted Answer

You can, but stacking filters adds glass elements and can cause vignetting on wide-angle lenses. Most photographers choose between a UV filter for protection or a polariser/ND for creative effect rather than using both at once.

Question 6

What warranty comes with a used 62mm UV filter from Camera-tweedehands.nl?

Accepted Answer

Every used item sold through Camera-tweedehands.nl comes with a minimum 12 months warranty. The exact period depends on the individual listing, so check the variant page for details.
