Moment CineClear UV Protection Filter — Professional-Grade Lens Protection for Working Creators
The gist: A UV filter built from German Schott B270 glass with 98.5% light transmission and 16 coatings — designed for content creators and photographers who need lens protection without the image quality penalty that budget UV filters impose on professional work.
- 98.5% light transmission = no detectable image impact: At 98.5% transmission, the CineClear passes virtually all light without the color cast, flare, or softening that cheaper UV glass introduces — so the lens you paid for performs the way it was designed to.
- 16-layer coating stack: Anti-reflection, fingerprint-resistant, dust-resistant, and scratch-resistant coatings combined — a coated filter is faster to clean between shots and stays cleaner in production environments.
- Stackable for modular filter setups: Designed to layer under CineBloom or other Moment filters and to accept standard lens caps — useful for creators who run a filter system and need UV protection at the base of their stack.
- Protects without compromising client deliverables: A damaged or scratched front element costs hundreds to repair — a permanent UV filter on a working lens is a practical cost-control decision for freelancers whose equipment is a business asset.
Moment’s own technical documentation confirms the CineClear uses German Schott B270 glass with a 98.5% transmission rate — the transparency standard that distinguishes a genuine UV protector from a filter that trades image quality for physical protection.
Best for: Content creators and professional photographers who shoot on location in dusty, wet, or crowded environments and want permanent, high-transparency lens protection. Skip it if: You exclusively shoot in a clean studio environment and keep the lens cap on between shots. Runs ~$20 (Open Box) — check the current price before buying.
