Hoya 77mm HMC UV (C) Digital Slim Frame Multi-Coated Glass Filter

On my Sony FE 4/24-mm lens, I'd tried another UV filter I had already gotten for free with the lens purchase I tested a slim circular filter on a 105 G OSS lens and discovered some vignetting occurred even though it was a slim lens. I found a site that tested UV filters that were priced inexpensively to pretty high and the reviewer there was very surprised by how good this Hoya 77mm HMC UV (C) filter was and that it is one of the best, even when compared to the more expensive It is the very same filter that I used on my Sony 2 (albeit a 72mm one). 16th to 18th A 50 SSM lens was added to my A77 camera and it has never been a problem. As for my own experience and the review I mentioned above, I bought the filter and have not been The images are sharp and there is no vignetting, even though it is now said that UV filters aren't really needed for digital cameras, it feels safe and not a big investment to just have it on for a peace of mind that the lens will be protected from minor However, this can be easily accomplished simply by keeping the lens hood on throughout the shoot. Now that everything is said and done, this is going to be on my lens forever.

As a simple method of protecting the front element, I put Hoya HMC UV filters on all my lenses. Glasses like these can act as a very cheap insurance policy for very expensive items. It is easy to use these coated filters to minimize lens flare, and I have not encountered any distortion problems with them. Wearing them is as easy as putting them on and leaving It is possible to purchase UV filters with a lot higher price tag. I did not have to do it, but I don't think you should. To use them, I would suggest cleaning the front element and both sides of the filter with isopropyl alcohol (then use distilled water with cotton swabs to brush away any haze), then lubricating the threads before tightening the filter. If you need to remove a filter in the future, you will be able to do so with ease. Please be careful not to use too much grease so that it squeezes out of the threads and migrates onto the glass of your lens. Then all you have to do is clean the front part of the filter.

You need these basic Hoya HMC Slims if you want good optics with a small budget, don't need to clean your filter very often, and don't want to spend a lot. While most Chinese no-name filters have inferior performance, Hoya's thick and dense Japanese glass and coating make it easier to render them invisible with a minimum of flare, grain, By using a slim ring, the filter prevents vignetting with wide angle lenses while still allowing a standard lens cap to fit (some "stepped" slim filters have a different outside diameter). The filter is well machined and does not feel like it would damage the plastic threads on the front of your lens like some These filters have the downside that the coating isn't very durable, as well as being hard to clean and not being able to There are more expensive Hoya filters with more durable coatings, but they are roughly three times as expensive as B+W nano filters. B&W will make similar filters if these things are important.

It is an ideal option when it comes to protecting your expensive photographic equipment. There is more than one level of lens coatings made by Hoya. For older or less expensive lenses that do not have the latest nano or other coatings, you should consider investing in a great quality lens filter with an up-to-date coating. Whether it is for saving your photos, protecting your investment, or enhancing your photos, a Hoya UV will do the trick. We all have accidents from time to time. Don't let anything happen to your stuff!.

Radiation is pretty much nonexistent, as are reflections and flaming There is no existent effect when I mount this filter The glass material far outperforms less expensive brands in that regard (I know this based on my own experiences) and is able to hold its own against considerably more expensive glass (I have tested these brands). Several people complain that the coating is not durable, that it gets smeared easily, etc. , but I have not witnessed that, anyway, no matter what the length of time I have owned this item. Microfiber cleaning cloths are usually my preferred method. They do a great job with virtually anything I have encountered, and the coating on the filter is still just as good as when I purchased it. Having said that, I have never cleaned off something like wet or dry mud, and if I did I would probably use a wet cleaner out of concern that grit might scratch the coating, which could happen on most filters, depending on how careful you are. Changing the Nikon 18-55's filter is a simple matter of screwing it on and off Using a Nikon 12-MP and a Nikon 300 The Hoya 24 lenses work smoothly, though in general I only change to the Hoya CPL (Circular Polarizer) when it starts getting warm. Because the slim frame model and my lens cap both seemed to mismatch, I was a bit concerned. I don't think it has a chance. In short, yes. I would like to pinch you- They stay snugly on the lenses even though they are designed for universal use. It is only when I don't fully snap the cap into place that I have ever encountered any issues with that. In addition, I never worry about the cap falling off and getting lost. And it does, in fact, provide an extra layer of protection to my lenses "just in case", which only makes its value that much greater. I am - The Hoya High-Motion Composite UV filter is an exceptional value for a great price, and it has a great reputation.

I think these are just the thing. It is important to remember that not all glass UV filters come with multiple options Applied to something. That's right, those you buy an inexpensive UV filter you are likely to see haloing, lens flare or any of the many glass refraction effects when the filter is not multi-coated Applied to something. Make sure your images have at least a chance at being seen, get yourself multi-purpose Hoya filters are always available as coated filters whenever the choice is available. The optical quality is excellent here too, and the threads are always clean and well machined for the size. I've never encountered If you like.
