Ultraviolet Bandpass Clip-in Filter For Nikon Z-Mount – Magnetic

Our Ultraviolet Clip-in Filter for Nikon Z-mount opens the door to true ultraviolet reflective photography on full-spectrum converted Nikon mirrorless cameras (see compatibility below). By isolating the ultraviolet spectrum while blocking visible and infrared light, it reveals surface detail and material differences that simply do not appear under normal lighting.

This filter is especially well suited for applications like skin damage analysis, forensic work, astrophotography, and creative UV imaging.

While our original UV Bandpass Filter was built using absorption-based glass, this new version uses a precision interference coating design optimized specifically for ultraviolet imaging. This allows for significantly higher UV transmission, including stronger transmission at lower UV wavelengths where traditional UV filters rapidly lose efficiency. The result is approximately 3× more UV light transmission compared to our original absorption-based design, enabling faster shutter speeds, cleaner results, and improved performance when working in the ultraviolet spectrum.

The filter features a full width at half maximum (FWHM) range of 320–390nm and is centered at 355nm for strong ultraviolet isolation and balanced spectral performance. Its higher peak transmission allows more usable UV light to reach the sensor while maintaining excellent suppression of unwanted visible and infrared wavelengths. Average out-of-band rejection is OD 3 (0.1%) from 420–1200nm, delivering minimal contamination and a clean ultraviolet signal.

Built with the professional-grade optics Kolari is known for, the filter is housed in a CNC-machined aluminum magnetic frame for a secure fit and maximum lens compatibility. It’s ideal for lenses without front filter threads and can be paired with external filters when needed.

NOTE: If your camera is close or not able to reach infinity focus after an IR conversion, install a Kolari Clear Magnetic Clip-in Filter to fix the issue.

Our ultraviolet bandpass filters will require a full-spectrum modified camera to produce the proper effect.

Our magnetic mounting plate is recommended for all clip-in-compatible Z models!

Nikon ZR, Z5, Z6, Z6 II, Z6 III, Z7, Z7 II, Z8, Z9, ZR and ZF

At this time, our Kolari Magnetic Clip-in Filters for Nikon Z-mount are not compatible with the Z-Mount Komodo X, Nikon Z50 or Nikon Z-mount APS-C cameras.

*** Please note that when used with a Nikon Z Mount 26mm f/2.8 lens, the rear element may protrude into the lens mount. This lens is not compatible with clip-in filters.

***Nikon cameras tend to struggle with white balancing in video when using filters 665nm and above. These filters will be compatible for stills, but you may not be able to white balance properly in video mode.

*Color Shift: You may experience a color shift in the left and right portions of your images when using this clip-in filter. The color shift is most prominent at focal ranges 35mm and under. The color shift may also be seen at focal ranges over 35mm, but will start to decrease at the more narrow focal ranges. Post-production techniques can help mitigate color shifting in the final images. Our normal UV Bandpass Lens Filter does not experience this color shift.
