The NiSi NC UV Filter for Leica D-Lux 8 is more than just a lens filter—it's an elegant, protective upgrade designed to integrate seamlessly with your Leica. While standard 43mm filters protrude from the lens and break the refined design, this filter is custom-built to fit directly into the D-Lux 8's unique thread, creating a flush, unobtrusive appearance that looks and feels like part of the camera itself. Crafted from premium optical glass, the filter delivers a remarkable 99.2% light transmission, ensuring no loss in sharpness, detail, or color fidelity. By blocking ultraviolet light, it effectively reduces haze, producing cleaner, more vibrant images with improved contrast. This makes it an ideal everyday companion, whether capturing street scenes, travel adventures, or spontaneous moments. The solid brass frame with a matte black anodized finish provides exceptional durability while maintaining the Leica D-Lux 8's sleek aesthetic. Unlike aluminum filters that can warp or seize, brass ensures smooth threading and long-term reliability. A precision screw-in mount secures the filter firmly in place yet allows for quick and effortless installation or removal as needed. Protection goes beyond scratches and dust—thanks to an advanced double-sided nano-coating, the filter actively resists water, oil, and fingerprints, making it easy to keep clean. Even in challenging environments, you can trust that your lens will remain clear and your images uncompromised. Please note: This filter is not compatible with the original Leica D-Lux 8 lens cap and does not feature a front filter thread for stacking. It is purpose-built for photographers who want a clean, minimalist solution that prioritizes protection while preserving Leica's design philosophy. With the NiSi NC UV Filter, you're not just safeguarding your lens—you're enhancing your camera with a protection system that's as refined and uncompromising as the Leica D-Lux 8 itself.
