Marumi EXUS Lens Protect SOLID

The Marumi EXUS Lens Protect SOLID is an ultimate Lens Protection with high scratch resistance to be used in a harsh environment

Certified German quality glass, Schott Xensation, achieved 700Hv Vickers Hardness, seven times more durable than the conventional glass
The upmost coating technology implemented;
Anti-static coating (ASC) works wonders on the surface of a glass. Dust and dirt adhered to the surface can be quickly and easily blown off.
Water-/Oil repellent coating shed water off simply also by the air blower. Nuisances such as sweats, skin crème, lotion, fingerprint, or compounded grease stains will be wiped off.
ASC Coating reduce the reflection rate 0.2% (420-680nm average)
Enhanced lens protective function by adapting glass thickness 1.8mm while strengthening filter mount assembling with a ring structure for the sake of maintaining total strength of filter structure
Thin frame structure to avoid vignetting
Made in Japan, the best ascertained protective option for your precious lens

What is the benefit of using a Lens Protector?
Does it affect image quality? Why Lens Protector instead of UV?

A Lens Protect filter allows you to;
- purely protects your delicate and expensive camera lens from dust, fingerprint, scratches, or, more importantly, from physical shock and damages without affecting image quality.

Many photographers attach a UV filter predominantly in terms of protection. However, a UV filter is designed primarily for UV Protection by optical significance.
It does provide a certain degree of physical protection, such as avoiding scratches in the result. This protective function is contingent on UV Cut.
If your intention is purely to protect your camera and lens from physical damage or mechanical shock, you better should consider choosing a Lens Protector.
By all means, UV Protections are also recommendable for Lens Protection. However, it will be more costly to expect the same level of optical benefit with physical protection.
While Lens Protectors provide pure protection, UV filters are used, taking the shooting location and the weather into account.

Schott Xensation, 7X more durable glass

The EXUS Lens Protect SOLID represents the highest-grade protection filter in Marumi’s lineup, designed especially for advanced photographers using large-aperture lenses. It offers approximately seven times the strength of Marumi’s regular protection filters*, making it ideal for use in harsh environments such as mountain climbing or trail photography, where lenses are exposed to potential impact.

*Measured by Vickers hardness (Hv), a standardized method that quantifies the hardness of a material by pressing a diamond-shaped indenter into its surface and evaluating the size of the resulting impression.

This video demonstrates an impact resistance test using a hammer, clearly showing how much stronger the hardened glass is compared to ordinary filter glass.

Marumi’s protection filters also feature a 2.0 mm thick optical glass, whereas many other brands use glass around 1.0 mm thick. This design choice reflects Marumi’s uncompromising philosophy of “ensuring reliable lens protection.” The added thickness provides up to five times greater impact resistance.

Dust-free by Anti-static coating (ASC)

Unlike products that claim to be “dust-free” simply because the filters help keep dust off the camera lens, the EXUS Series, including EXUS Lens Protect Solid, delivers its dust‑repellent benefits through an advanced Anti-Static Coating (ASC) that works directly on the filter surface—helping to minimize dust adhesion far beyond simply protecting the camera lens. This significantly reduces the effort needed to keep your filter clean.

0.2% Reflection by Anti-static coating (ASC)

Unlike products that advertise “0.2%” without specifying the measurement range—often achieving that figure only at a single wavelength—the EXUS Lens Protect SOLID maintains an average reflection rate of below 0.2% consistently across the 420–680 nm spectrum. This ensures advanced lens protection while preserving the full optical clarity and performance of your lens.

*COMPATIBILITY ISSUES WITH CANON LENS HOOD

Question:
I have a Canon lens, but I can't attach the lens hood with the 95mm EXUS Lens Protect SOLID. What should I do?

Answer:
If you purchase the following Canon lens and attach the included lens hood (EW-103 or ET-101), there will be compatibility issues with this filter. Please read the article linked and purchase a genuine lens filter produced by Canon.
