Hoya Fusion Antistatic Next CIR-PL 55mm Circular Polarizer Filter

The Hoya Fusion Antistatic Next CIR-PL 55mm is a high-performance circular polarizer filter designed for photographers and videographers who demand exceptional image quality and durability. This filter effectively reduces reflections from non-metallic surfaces such as water and glass, enhances color saturation and contrast, and darkens blue skies for more dramatic landscapes. The advanced antistatic coating repels dust and lint, while water and stain-resistant properties make cleaning effortless. The 9-layer multi-coating ensures high light transmission (approx. 99.7%) and minimizes flare and ghosting. Constructed with professional-grade optical glass and a low-profile aluminum frame, it is built to prevent vignetting on wide-angle lenses.

Advantages

This filter offers a unique combination of antistatic technology and high optical clarity. The antistatic coating reduces dust attraction, keeping the filter cleaner for longer. The water and stain-resistant coatings make it easy to wipe off smudges and fingerprints. The slim frame design is compatible with wide-angle lenses without causing vignetting. With a filter factor of 2-3 stops, it provides the flexibility to use slower shutter speeds or wider apertures in bright conditions.
