Hoya 67mm HD3 UV Filter

Product Information

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.

There are many different types of lens filters, each for a specific purpose.

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?

Digital multi-coated filters greatly reduce the appearance of lens flare and ghosting caused by reflections.

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.

The great addition compared to a regular protector is that the filter also perfectly cuts out UV light, reducing the haze and blue colour cast which can be caused by it in certain settings, giving you ultimately a sharper image. REINFORCED UV-CUT GLASS I think that if you want to really cut the purple fringing on a long lens you need a stronger cutoff still. I'm not sure whether they are still easily available, but Skylight (1A or 1B) filters cut more of the UV end of the spectrum, just touching on the visible. Even stronger filters used to be readily available in the days of film, but you would probably have to go to a specialist supplier to get them now.These are sometimes also referred to as de-haze or daylight filters. One should be chosen which matches the thread size of your specific lens, most commonly sized in millimetres such as 67mm or 77mm etc. You will find this written on your lens barrel or in the description when purchasing one.
