If you are an avid photographer, you know how important it is to have a UV filter for the lens. The primary function of a filter is to improve the quality of the pictures, while also protecting the surface of your lens against dust, moisture, and thumbprint. So cut through the effects of atmospheric haze, moisture and other forms of pollutants while capturing pictures with this UV filter from Hoya. Multi-purpose It is a multi-purpose, fine-weather filter that is suitable for color as well as black and white films. It also serves a permanent lens protector and helps protect your camera from dust, moisture and scratches, which can lead to costly repairs. Digital Multi-coated The multi-coating minimizes the appearance at the filter’s surfaces, which reduces flare and ghosting caused by reflections. Black Almite Frame This filter features a black matte aluminium satin finish frame that helps reduce reflections which capture those panoramic shots.  Black Rimmed Glass The black rimmed glass helps reduce the chance of light reflecting off the edge, so your picture comes out perfectly.  Knurling Edge Frame The knurling edge frame of the filter ensures non-slip, easy attachment and removal from the camera. The UV protected cases further enhance the life of the filter. The ultra-thin filter frame helps avoid vignetting on super wide angle lenses.  Resistance to Flare This filter allows increased resistance to flare and stunning images can be recorded at wide apertures without compromising on the performance of your lenses.
