The “C” on the filter ring designates Hoya’s thinner design for this filter. The result is an average light transmission of over 97% giving sharp contrast and well balanced color. The heat-resistant tempered glass does not affect color balance while improving image quality and providing a stronger more resilient filter. HMC (Hoya Multi-Coated) filters are recommended for enhancing the performance of today’s multi-coated digital lenses. The multi-coating minimizes reflection at the filter surfaces which reduces flare and ghosting. The result is better light transmission and a clearer image.
A UV filter not only minimizes the bluish cast sometimes found under daylight conditions, but is also the best available protection against accidental damage to the front element of your lens. A lens that accidentally gets dropped on its front element while hiking can potentially be saved by purchasing this item. Some people refer to it as “cheap insurance”. As a lens protector, it should be left on at all times.
Aside from that more-than-significant benefit, UV filters render your photos clearer, sharper and more contrasty. For those who enjoy outdoor photography, especially distant vistas, a UV filter can produce a more distinct and acceptable image by removing much of the blue tint normally associated with atmospheric haze.
- If desired it can be left on the lens at all times for protection
- Haze filters provide additional benefits of correction for ultraviolet (UV) light which can register on film and videotape as a bluish cast and can obscure distant details
- Ultraviolet filters allow you to correct for the UV effect to varying degrees
- Improved glass quality that promotes better light transmission; heat-resistant tempered glass
