Sigma Unveils Redesigned Slimmer Lens Filters for Better Image Quality
Sigma is preparing to unveil a new series of lens filters on November 5, aiming to enhance photography with superior image quality and performance. The lineup includes four distinct models: the WR Ceramic Protector PTC-21, WR Protector + UV PUV-21, standard Protector LPT-21, and WR Circular PL Filter CPL-21. These filters feature advanced coatings to limit reflections and have been designed with a slimmer profile to prevent vignetting, particularly with wide-angle lenses. Although compatible with all lens brands, Sigma suggests their own lenses for optimal outcomes. The 46mm variant will no longer be available, and pricing details remain unconfirmed.
