If you’ve got a question about Okko lens filters that we haven’t answered below, please email us at office@okkopro.com we are happy to help, or message us on our chat button.

Q. Why do I need a lens filter?

A. Your camera lens is the most expensive and easily damaged part of your camera. To fix or replace a lens can cost a lot of money. Lens filters serve a primary function of protecting your lens from dirt, dust and damage. It is much easier to clean or replace a filter than your camera lens. Secondly, certain filters will enhance your shots giving you crisper, clearer images straight into the camera.

Q. How do I know what size of lens filter I need?

A. Look at the front of your camera lens. You’ll see the size is printed on the front frame of your lens. The key identifier is the circle with the line through it. (as seen below)

Q. Can I use a UV filter for lens protection?

A. Yes. You can leave your UV filter on your lens all the time. It protects the front element of your valuable camera lens and makes it easy for you to keep your lens clean and safe in wild weather and rugged environments.

Q. What is a Neutral Density (ND) lens filter used for?

A. An ND filter allows you to control the amount of light in your image so you can do longer exposures.

• The filter stops light reaching the camera sensor, so you can leave the camera with a higher aperture for longer. ND filters don’t affect color.
• Shoot long exposures during the day. Shoot in bright light without overexposing your images. Use slower shutter speeds to create dramatic effects that emphasize movement. Videographers use ND filters in bright conditions for more consistent light and color.
• Minimize time spent in post-production by taking better images and video.

Q. What is a Circular Polarizing (CPL) filter used for?

A. Photographers use polarizing filters when shooting landscapes to capture rich, clear shots in challenging bright conditions. darken skies, manage reflections, add color saturation, and suppress glare.

• Okko’s fully adjustable CPL filter allows you to control polarization for color saturation and greater contrast.
