Protector / UV [BASE] is a filter that serves as the BASE of the Layer-X system. In Layer-X, PLUS filters such as ND, CPL, OPF, and CDF are stacked on top of the BASE filter. For this reason, the BASE filter must have minimal impact on image rendering and maintain optical stability when filters are layered. Protector / UV [BASE] uses high-transparency Clear Glass, with NanoAR UV Coating for ultra-low reflection and Hydro Shield Coating for water repellency applied to both sides. These coatings suppress unwanted reflections and contrast loss, even in backlit or high-contrast scenes. UV reduction also helps minimize subtle contrast degradation and highlight haze that cannot be fully controlled by the camera or lens alone. It provides essential protection while serving as a stable foundation for stacking PLUS filters.
Layer-X BASE Filter is an optical filter that attaches to the front of the lens using a standard screw-in mount.
The front surface is equipped with both a built-in magnetic structure and a threaded mount, allowing PLUS filters such as ND, CPL, or cross filters to be layered when needed.
In addition to magnetic PLUS filters, standard lens caps and conventional screw-in filters can also be attached, so the handling remains familiar in everyday use.
The BASE filter blends naturally into daily shooting and serves as the starting point of the Layer-X system, expanding how light can be handled to suit different shooting styles.
