35mm Rokinon Light Reflection due to UV filter
  • TommyboyTommyboy
    Does any one know what is causing this light reflection in the lens. What is the technical term for it?
    How can I avoid it in the future? Can I remove it in post? Just point me in the right direction so I can educate myself.

    Yes I do too, but I remove the UV filter glass that they sent with it

    I had my UV filter on at the time. Good point to remember next time. Thanks!

    Yes, same for me with Voigtlander 40mm, unusable with filter

    Almost all UV filters will give these nasty reflections.
    Unless they're super high end ones with coatings designed to avoid this problem.
    It's one of the reasons I never shoot with a UV filter on.. sure it gives protection, but the risk of reflections is not worth it for me.

    Why use UV filter at night? :)

    Yr lens probably has an aspherical glass, which needs a hood to shield it.
    I shoot with quite a few Voigtlanders, and i can tell you every time i go on set, I need some kind of shade.
    The wider the lens, the worse the spills

    @stonebat Why use a UV filter period? Just use a hood and your glass will be fine :)
