this is the my third polarizing filter in a year. I just wish they sold something that would prohibit me from losing the things. I don't know if I bought something different the second time, but this (and the first are very good). I love the saturation...

Great product! I've purchased multiple filters of this exact type from Hoya for all of my lenses. They have never required replacing and are very tough. I even dropped my lens and it landed on the filter. The filter was not damaged except for a few...

I received this item yesterday, advertised as being new, On receipt, the seals on the filter box clearly had been removed, and the filter in the packet was dusty when removed. This is clearly a used item... That said, I have dusted it off and it...

The Hoya Super HMC coating should be as good as it gets, and I've found it to be as good or better than anything else. I base this more on UV filters, which are easy to evaluate experimentally. This filter, for me, however is very impractical. You...

Yet another superb product from Hoya, I don't buy any other make of filters, these exude class, quality although slightly expensive for a piece of darkened glass. Great for slowing motion, creating those foggy water scenes.

Adding a high-quality close-up filter such as the HOYA PRO1 Digital Close-up No.3 filter is an affordable and cost effective way of turning any lens into a macro lens. It will improve the close-up performance of any lens, and is well suited to kit...

Comments same as for NDX2. I have not used in earnest yet but the quality looks and feels good. Will probably not use a lot but these are priced reasonably.

This lens is easily slipped on and off of my Sony digital camera! It's great quality and I will probably be purchasing a back-up soon!

Hoya, the biggest name in optical filters, have just introduced a thinner version of their circular polariser, so we got one in to test. The new filter has a slimmer mount making it really light and compact.

As at least one other reviewer has written the surface coating scratches easily. I take this hiking and backpacking, and I am VERY cautious with my equipment, but stuff happens. Scratching the filter is my fault but the thing is $82, I'd expect more...

I got this to put on a Tokina 12-24mm f4, and I'm sorry to say it fails fairly miserably on that particular lens -- perhaps it performs better on other makes and models. When rotated for most saturation in skies etc, 'flat' tones become uneven and...

While basically being just what the title says - an introductory filter kit - not quite what I expected. The filters are made in the Philippines and not in Japan as I expected and there is no indication as to what type of coating they have. While I...

I went through two copies of this filter and finally gave up and requested a refund. The snap ring that holds the glass in place was out both times and on one of the filters, the glass wasn't even edge-to-edge!! Terrible QA standards. I went to B+W...

The ability to make the blue of a blue sky stand out more and reduce reflections off water and other reflective surfaces.

I bought this filter to protect the front element of a new 17-85mm lens on my Canon Eos 500D digital camera. I have used Hoya filters throughout my photographic career which spans 40 years and have always been happy with optical quality, and this...

Bought it from Ace Photo and found that it's not ultra thin or thin. It's a regular one. E-mailed the vendor about the discrepancy and asked for a replacement. But they blamed the other two companies for making false information and can't send me a...
