Hoya 55MM HD II UV

The New HOYA HD Mk II series features 16 layers of anti-reflective coatings with HOYA's water repellent and stain resistant coatings making filter maintenance easy. The UV & Protector incorporate chemically hardened optical glass which provides excellent lens protection against accidental damage and the CIR-PL features High light-transparency UV-absorbing polarisation film for faster shutter speeds.

All filters feature low profile frames to avoid vignetting when used with wide-angle lenses

The UV (UltraViolet) filter absorbs the ultraviolet rays which are invisible to human eyes but can make areas of outdoor photographs hazy and indistinct. This multi-purpose filter can also serve as a permanent lens protector and while designed specifically for high-resolution digital cameras the UV filter can also be used on film cameras.

Features:

• 16 layer (both sides) anti-reflection coating with superior water & oil repellent characteristics for easy maintenance
• Chemically and thermally hardened extra-clear optical glass that is 4x stronger compared to normal optical glass to achieve excellent protection abilities
• Low profile frame with front thread to attach lens caps or other filters
• Press mount technology to retain glass tightly inside the frame in case of physical impact
• Made in Japan
