Protection for the front lens element

Dust, moisture and accidental contact with the front element are common risks on set. The UV filter can stay on the lens as an additional protective layer.

Instead of exposing the front element directly, the replaceable filter becomes the first surface facing the environment – useful for location work, travel and fast-paced productions.

UV filteration in mountains and at high altitude

UV radiation can affect image contrast, especially in mountain environments and at high altitude. Irix Edge MMS UV SR reduces its influence and helps retain a clearer image.

The filter therefore combines front-element protection with genuine UV filteration.

99.8% light transmission

The optical glass provides99.8% light transmission.

High transmission and neutral colour rendering are especially important for a protective filter that may remain on the lens for much of the shoot.

MMS – fast filter changes on set

TheMagnetic Mount Systemuses a magnetic attachment instead of a conventional thread, allowing the filter to be fitted or removed very quickly during a shoot.

This is particularly convenient when replacing the protective UV filter with an ND, CPL or another compatible MMS filter.

The video shows how the Irix Edge MMS magnetic filter system works in practice.

Super Resistant – toughened optical glass

Irix Edge MMS UV belongs to theSR – Super Resistantseries and uses toughened optical glass with increased mechanical resistance.

This is particularly useful in a protective filter whose role is to add a layer of protection for the lens front element during shooting and transport.

Multilayer anti-reflective coatings

Both glass surfaces feature multilayer anti-reflective coatings.

They help reduce unwanted reflections and maintain good sharpness, clarity and contrast.

Nano coating on both sides

A Nano coating is applied to both filter surfaces and helps reduce the adhesion of dirt.

This makes cleaning easier when the filter is frequently fitted and removed on location or on set.

Threadless construction – only 5 mm thick

The filter has no conventional mounting thread, keeping its profile very flat.Total thickness is only 5 mm.

The slim profile makes it easier to store several MMS filters and helps keep a cine setup compact.

Stack MMS filters

The system allows compatibleIrix Edge MMS filters to be stacked magnetically.

Different types of filteration can therefore be combined according to the needs of a shot without switching to conventional screw-in filters.
