Questions & Answers
Flares are less of an issue for lenses. If your lenses are too bright, try lens shades. If the sun is too bright, you can also try polarizing sunglasses.
There has been a filter thread on the Miakon Zhongyi Speedmaster 50mm f/0 since 2013. iii 95 mm lenses have the 67 mm filter thread, not the 49 mm you mention. You would need a Hoya HD3 67 mm filter to use with this lens.
To my response to the request for no stops on CPL filters, I would like to add this The CPL filters are not the same as CPL filters that are three or six stops (e.g. - Breakthrough in commercial printing technology). A CPL consists of a combination of neutral density filters at 3 stops and 6 stops and has nothing to do with rotation stops.
Selected User Reviews For Hoya 49mm HD3 Circular Polarizer Filter
A significant part of the earlier HD series of Hoya was their color quality. It is even more so for HD3. Although I have not tested impact resistance with this HD filter (unless someone wants to buy me a sample so I can try it), I have enough experience with similar filters to be able to report that it resists scratches, fingerprints, and dust more effectively than others. Nikon or B+W are equally good as far as optics are concerned. After using one and seeing the fingerprint and dust resistance for a while, it is hard to accept that it is like that I can't seem to stick to anything! In modern digital cameras, UV filters are not necessary, so a completely clear lens would serve the purpose of the camera. This is my preferred method of protecting lenses that are going to be worn all day long In order to keep the front lens element clean, the front lens element must be kept clean. The risk of impact protection is very low for me since I'm pretty careful about things Having dust and grime on my clothes is what concerns me more. In making a mental calculation that takes into account both the cost of the lens and the price of the protective filter, it is important to keep in mind the cost of the lens and the possibility of a lens.
Even so, this is a good filter. Photographs taken with my Nikon D850 and the Hoya HD3 filter have been compared with and without some laboratory microscope microtext images. The difference in the two isn't discernible to me. It was impossible to detect any optical degradation at a zoomed-in 800% angle It is exactly what you are looking for in As described in the coating. The cheaper ones are never a magnet like these. I have several less expensive filters but they never seem to be. Therefore, even though they provide excellent optics and may harden the glass, their tendency to attract dust is more intense than any other filter I've sold so far. How important is that to you? I did not confirm the Over the years, I have bought more than a few This is a great book!.
First and foremost, it is a circular polarized, as it should be. In addition to this, there are a couple of extra benefits I- *br In most cases, CPLs are set to block 2 to 2 We are not talking about trivial matters here. B- - My surprise was that the HD3 coating was advertised as resistant to fingerprints and dust. It happened to be true as it is advertised to be very tough and durable. You need to exert some effort to leave a fingerprint, and dust tends to fall off very easily.
In the past, I have bought the same brand of accessories as the camera and lens I was using, but that has not been the case It seems that these filters repel contaminants and seldom need to be cleaned. The optical performance of your lens can be restored easily with a lens brush or a lens cleaning cloth and a light whisk. To make the switch to Hoya HD3 filters, all of my UV and CP filters have been converted.
A LOT OF WORK, BUT VERY In order to take pictures with a digital camera, it is not necessary to use a UV filter. The pro-life movement is a mixed bag It is often at a high cost to use the quality lenses I use It is possible that damage will occur. Finally, we have a solution that doesn't rely on any compromises in terms of optical quality. The lens filter acts like an armor coating, so you can forget about taking the lens cap off and on all the time (or keeping track of where it is). I am extremely satisfied with the.
This is by far the best filter I have ever used on my 77 mm and 72 mm lenses, I now own 10. Some have mentioned that these are prone to attracting dust particles that can be difficult to I'm willing to make this sacrifice, however, since I don't have to use lens caps or worry about scratches or breaks on my expensive equipment. Despite smacking one of them with a hammer (without the lens attached lol) it didn't break or scratch, so I'm satisfied with that.
A lot of work has to be put into cleaning this filter. My HD3 has been difficult to clean I have several other Hoya filters that are fine, but my HD3 has proven to be difficult There are weird spots on my body that won't go away. There are no unusual conditions that have occurred in the filter. My $100 damned thing cost about 80 bucks, and I will not be buying another.
My lens has not been hit yet, so I have no idea how strong the filter is, and I am not interested in experimenting with The problem seems to be that it absorbs the dust so readily. This furniture has a coating which is meant to prevent, or at least make the dust more difficult to absorb, but I have trouble with it As a result, the coating acts like.
