Vivitar Filters are manufactured from high-quality solid optical materials.  Each individual filter is heat-treated to avoid any rare movement or distortion.  Our UV filters remove and absorb ultra violet rays, giving sharper contrast to your digital images.

Our Ultra Violet filters minimize the bluish cast sometimes found under daylight conditions.  These filters will render your photos clearer, sharper and with more contrast. For those who enjoy outdoor photography, especially distant vistas, a UV filter can produce a more distinct image by removing much of the color aberration normally associated with atmospheric haze. 

They are also the best available protection against accidental damage to the front element of your lens.  If you accidentally drop your lens, you will be protected against nicks and scratches.  As a lens protector, it should be left on at all times.

The CPL threaded filter is often used to increase the contrast and saturation in blue skies and white clouds. Vivitar's circular polarizing filters do not affect the overall color balance of a shot, and they will provide protection for your lens while shooting.  Vivitar filters are perfect for digital SLR cameras or traditional 35mm SLR applications.

This Neutral Density filter reduces intensity of all wavelengths or colors of light equally, giving no changes in hue or color rendition.  The purpose of standard photographic neutral density filters is to allow the photographer greater flexibility to change the aperture, exposure time and/or blur of subject in different situations and atmospheric conditions.  Instead of reducing the aperture to limit light, the photographer can add a ND filter to limit light, and can then set the shutter speed according to the particular motion desired and the aperture set as needed.
