Thanks to this coating technology light reflectivity level is retained at 0.2% that is incredibly low, meaning that Celeste UV will transmits as good as 100% of the overall light coming into the lens. Taking in consideration 100% transparent, free of any color tint optical glass, this is the most pure and pristine filter ever made.
