Title: Need UV Filter for H3DII-39MP?
Post by: Lust4Life on December 31, 2008, 08:05:19 am

With the Hasselblad H3DII - 39MP sensor having a UV filter in front of actual sensor in the digital back, is putting a B+W UV/Haze filter in front of the lens redundant?

Work is landscape and I'm not really interested in protecting the front of the lens - just concerned with UV issues.

Hi Jack, the filter fitted in front of the Sensor is for IR and not for UV (although any piece of glass cuts some UV as well).

Happy new year!

Yair,

Thank you for that correction - solves the question at the same time of need for UV filter.

And Happy New Year to you - I've enjoyed our exchanges over the year.
Jack
