FOTOWORX is a respected Chinese manufacturer of premium photographic accessories, using materials such as an aviation-grade aluminium alloy and high quality German optical glass. If you search (Vancher Fotoworx) on Google you can read more about the company behind the brand. Clickbargains is the primary Australian retailer for Fotoworx, offering filters made to order and shipped efficiently to keep prices competitive. My store now carries around 200 Fotoworx listings, with orders increasingly coming from buyers who value both quality and affordability. I come from a family of photographers - one relative even held a solo exhibition at the National Gallery - so photography is in my blood. If you would like advice before purchasing, especially for landscape work, I am always happy to help. Every order includes a concise guide explaining the purpose and use of different filters.
Our broad selection of step-up filter adapter rings may allow you to share filters across different lenses with ease.

Why Choose Fotoworx?
Nanotechnology, such as in our Fotoworx multi-coated filters, has revolutionised camera filter production in several ways:
Improved Image Quality: Nanotechnology allows for precise control over filter materials at the nanoscale. By manipulating the structure and composition of filter elements, manufacturers can create filters that minimize optical aberrations, colour fringing, and other distortions. This results in sharper and clearer images.
Reduced Size and Weight: Traditional camera filters are bulky and add weight to camera gear. Nanotechnology enables the development of ultrathin and lightweight filters without compromising performance. These compact filters are ideal for travel and outdoor photography.
Enhanced Light Transmission: Nanostructured materials can optimize light transmission by reducing reflections and maximizing the passage of desired wavelengths. Filters made with nanotechnology can maintain high transparency while selectively blocking specific wavelengths (e.g., UV or infrared).
Anti-Reflective Coatings: Nanocoatings can be applied to filter surfaces to minimize reflections and ghosting. These coatings improve contrast and prevent unwanted flare, especially when shooting against bright light sources.
Self-Cleaning Properties: Some nanomaterials possess hydrophobic or oleophobic properties, meaning they repel water and oil. Applying such coatings to camera filters makes them easier to clean and resistant to smudges and fingerprints.
Selective Filtering: Nanotechnology allows precise control over the size and arrangement of filter pores. This enables the design of selective filters that block specific pollutants (e.g., dust, pollen) while allowing desired wavelengths (e.g., visible light) to pass through.
Photocatalytic Filters: Nanoparticles with photocatalytic properties can break down organic contaminants when exposed to light. These filters can help purify the air around the lens and protect it from pollutants.
Durability and Scratch Resistance: Nanocomposite materials are inherently strong and resistant to scratches. Filters incorporating nanotechnology are more durable and less prone to damage during handling and cleaning.
Customizable Spectral Characteristics: By engineering nanoscale structures, manufacturers can create filters with customized spectral characteristics.
In summary, nanotechnology enhances camera filters by improving image quality, reducing size, adding specialised features, and increasing durability.
Remember to check your camera’s lens thread size (usually marked with a “Φ” symbol) before ordering. Whether you’re a seasoned photographer or just starting out, the Fotoworx MC-UV filter is a must-have accessory. Get yours today and watch your images come to life! 🌟📷
Multi‑coating dramatically reduces reflections, flare, and loss of contrast, giving you cleaner, higher‑quality images—especially in strong light.
Below is a structured, photographer‑level breakdown tailored to your technical knowledge.
Impact:
This is the single biggest real‑world difference.
Uncoated filters scatter light inside the lens, lowering contrast—especially noticeable in:
MC‑UV filters maintain the lens’s native contrast, which is why pros insist on them.
Multi‑coating increases transmission from ~92% (uncoated) to 98–99%.
Impact:
Uncoated filters are notorious for:
MC‑UV filters suppress both, especially modern nano‑coatings.
Most MC‑UV filters include:
Uncoated filters scratch easily and smear badly when cleaned.
They are effectively “cheap protection glass” and can degrade the performance of expensive lenses.
| Feature | MC‑UV Filter | Uncoated UV Filter |
|---|---|---|
| Light transmission | 98–99% | ~92% |
| Reflections | Very low (<0.5%) | High (~8%) |
| Flare resistance | Excellent | Poor |
| Contrast retention | High | Reduced |
| Colour accuracy | High | Slightly degraded |
| Durability | High (hard, hydro/oleophobic coatings) | Low |
| Cleaning | Easy | Smears easily |
| Price | Higher | Cheap |
An MC‑UV filter preserves the optical performance of the lens.An uncoated UV filter can noticeably degrade it.
This is especially of advantage to photographers using:
