The 86mm Skylight Filter features a very slight pink colour cast to compensate for the blue haze when shooting landscape photography, while also eliminating ultraviolet light to reduce haziness.

- Features a very slight pink colour cast to counteract the blue haze of a deep blue sky
- Can be used as an alternative and useful lens protector
- Ideal filter for landscape and outdoor photography
The slight pink cast is designed to reduce the blue colour cast that is visible when shooting beneath a deep blue sky in outdoor scenes.
Skylight filters also eliminate ultraviolet light, thereby fractionally reducing the haziness sometimes seen in landscapes on summer days.
Like a UV filter, a Skylight filter can be used as a clear filter to protect the camera lens.
