Overview

The Toughest UV filters in the world, Impact and Scratch Resistant, Corning Gorilla Glass 3, Ultra slim filter frame and strengthen glass

Description

Ultra Violet (UV) filters have been around for long time from the old film days. Even modern films before digital photography are immune from UV light, digital cameras are not sensitive with UV light either. The Aurora-Aperture PowerUV 105mm Gorilla Glass Based UV Filter purpose is to block UV light.

In the meantime, users believe having a relative inexpensive filter in front of their expensive lens could provide some levels of protection, thus UV filters today are still widely used as a protection filter and they are the first accessory to buy with a purchase of a new lens.

However, most UV filters and protection filters in the market are made from a piece of thin glass. They offer little physical protection since the filter glass is easy to be broken, as discovered by users who have dropped their filters by accident.

The Toughest UV filters in the world
The PowerUV protection filters from Aurora Aperture are real UV filters that can truly protect. They are made from chemically harden glass that offers much stronger protection than normal glass.

Impact and Scratch Resistant
We choose the Corning® Gorilla® Glass 3 for the PowerUV protection filter, as it is the most widely used cover glass today in smartphones and tablets. Chemically harden glass is a proven and matured technology, adopting it to camera lens filter is only a matter of time.

Optical Quality
Traditional UV Filter manufactures market their premium filters by emphasizing the use of high quality optic glasses such as Schott B270. Does the chemically harder glass materials such as Gorilla Glass compromise optical performance when comparing B270?

For UV filters, the most important optical performance metric is the transmittance rate for the visible spectrum (390nm to 700nm). Untreated optic glass such as Schott B270 is rated at 91.7%. After anti-reflection coating is applied the transmittance rate can be increased to 98% – 99%.

Raw Gorilla Glass 3 is rated at 92.3%. After applying multi layers of nano coatings our Gorilla Glass 3 based PowerUV filters can achieve 99.6%, just as good as those traditional premium optic glass based UV filters.

We also conducted thorough testings in resolution and color reproduction and we find the Gorilla Glass 3 based PowerUV filters are just as good as high quality UV filters built with Schott B270 glass.

Another optical aspect of UV filters is its anti ghost capability. Ghosting is caused by light reflections between an UV filter and a lens. We conducted ghost tests with the PowerUV filters and found no particular issue with the Gorilla Glass 3 material.

The multi layer nano coatings not only help increasing the transmittance rate, but also repels water, oil, and dust. Contaminants can be wiped off from the filters easily.

Design - Ultra slim filter frame and strengthen glass
UV filters frame design is very simple as there is just a metal frame housing a single piece of glass and yet we have seen many UV filters with thick frames that serve no practical purpose but causing vignetting in wide angle lenses. Our PowerUV filter frame design is simple and effective, even with our relative thick Gorilla Glass to provide extra protection, the overall thickness of our PowerUV filter is only 3.6mm, thinner than many UV filters in the market.

The PowerUV filters are built from aerospace grade aluminum with CNC machinery for utmost precision and accuracy. They are anodized for durability.

With up to 8 times stronger than normal UV filters, the Aurora PowerUV is the toughest UV filter in the world.
