These filters are equipped with a straight knurling edge for non-slip, easy attachment and removal. A multi-purpose filter which absorbs ultraviolet rays that often make outdoor photographs hazy and indistinct. UV filters are colourless and can be used in combination with other filters. They are also recommended as a general lens protector, to leave on lenses at all times - this protects the front element from scratches, dust and moisture.

The best filter by far was the 'Hoya 72 mm HMC UV-0', which not only stopped UV strongly with a fierce drop-off immediately after the visible spectrum, from the images shown it can also be seen that it did not add any horrid flare. Plus it was less expensive than many and in fact not the dearest of the Hoya range!

Hi Tom, yes I want a uv-0 filter, but ideally a version that does not induce flare. Did you read the LensTip test results? Filter absorbs the ultraviolet rays which often makes outdoor photographs hazy and indistinct. This multi-purpose, all-around filter can serves as a permanent lens protector.

In fact, a UV filter can often actually degrade image quality in some situations. For example, additional ghosting and flare can be caused when shooting against bright lights in a scene. In this respect, the Hoya performs brilliantly well, its high-tech anti-reflective coatings on both sides of the glass really earning their keep.So that is the one I wanted to get, Sorted, or so I thought. But that is when the difficulties started, the test was a few years ago, and it is now difficult for me to identify that exact filter amongst their current range.

Neutral density filters (ND): Dark filters that reduce the amount of light the sensor receives so larger apertures and slower shutter speeds can be used to reduce the depth of field or to create motion blur Its sharp UV cut property cuts out the UV light while not having any negative effect on the colours in the visible light spectrum, so there will never be an unwanted change of colours in your image. As UV light can potentially cause a haze and blue colour cast under certain conditions, the filter will reduce such negative effects which will make your final image ultimately sharper and clearer. HIGH-TRANSMITTANCE COATING Ultra thin filter frames to help avoid vignetting on super wide angle lenses are also designed to hold a lens cap.

Just like camera lenses, pretty much all photographic filters feature multi-layer coatings. However, this is a potential weak spot. While the glass may be strong, coatings can be relatively fragile and can easily get scratched or depleted simply by regular cleaning. Again, this Hoya UV filter comes to the fore with no less than 32 layers of super-tough nano-structure coatings applied to both sides of the glass. As well as ensuring optimum optical performance, the coatings repel moisture and grease and are rated at 800 per cent more scratch-resistant then regular coatings.
