Hoya UX II CIR-PL 58mm Circular Polarizer Filter

The Hoya UX II CIR-PL 58mm is a high-quality circular polarizer filter designed for photographers and videographers. It effectively reduces reflections from non-metallic surfaces such as water and glass, enhances color saturation, and darkens blue skies for more dramatic landscapes. The filter features a 9-layer anti-reflection coating, water-repellent and stain-resistant properties, ensuring clear and sharp images while protecting your lens.

Advantages

This filter offers excellent light transmission with a light reduction of 1.5-2 stops, allowing for creative control over exposure. The slim aluminum frame minimizes vignetting on wide-angle lenses, and the front filter thread enables stacking with other filters. The multi-coating reduces flare and ghosting, delivering consistent results in various lighting conditions.
