As far as we know, it does not have a UV filter. If it wasn't included on the information about the lap, we're guessing not.

No filter. Have to purchase a seperate in line filter. I bought a culigan that should last me about 8-9 months for around $20

Yes it does. I would order a extra set of filters as they are hard to find in local stores.

yes, it has a filter. Other reviews talk about this. Also, very noisy but really pumps out the mist.

It does not accept filters as you guessed. I stopped using protective UV filters years ago and have had no issues at all. I have used this lens in extremely harsh environments (I.e. burning Man) and have had zero issues with it. Lenses are pretty resilient.

I do not use a filter on this lens. When I did there was too much reflection using a UV filter.

Actually this unit does not have a filter. I take mine apart annually and clean the internal parts with a vacuum and stiff brush and damp cloth. The unit after being used a while develops a dark residue from dust particles that appear to almost have decomposed. The UV bulb is the only item that will need to be replaced about every 1 to 2 years. When your unit stops producing that fresh crisp distinct ozone smell then the bulb needs replacing. Hope this helps.

It doesn't but the filters can be added to the existing lens. I use the UV filter all the time as filter and extra layer if protection for the lens.

yes, but i found it a little tricky removing the beauty ring from the lens. i bought a uv filter at the same time. some articles about it on the internet. real easy to do. the hood and adapter were in the same box.

Yes, it has the threads for the filter. Sometimes a leave the hood installed with the lens cap attached to the threads.

There is an outside thread on the lens so it should be possible to fit a UV filter to it.

No it's not a uv light. It had the appearance of a uv light because of the colored plastic cover only.

I bought this for a friend and don't remember a filter. Sorry I cannot be more informative.

In my limited experience, I would say no. the largest filters I have seen are 77mm. This lens has a a drop-in 52mm "behind the lens" mechanism, should you require the use of filters. I can say that w/o the uv protector, this lens doesn't collect any more dust than my lenses that have protection. Perhaps its the long hood, i'm not sure, but happy anyway.
