Your cart is empty.The Hoya Circular Polarizing HD (High Density) Digital Glass Filter represents the next generation of dynamic Hoya filters.
This filter, with its hardened glass, has 4x the tensile strength of traditional filters of similar fabrication. This filter is also of great use in today's digital market where sensors are more sensitive to reflected light. Hoya incorporates special coatings that reduce these internal reflections and, thereby, promote a clearer, brighter and sharper image.
Light rays which are reflected become polarized. Polarizing filters are used to select which light rays enter your camera lens. They can remove unwanted reflections from non-metallic surfaces such as water or glass and also saturate colours providing better contrast. The effect can be seen through the viewfinder and changed by rotating the filter. The filter factor varies according to how the filter is rotated and its orientation to the sun.

I thought I was purchasing a new item. The filter arrived only wrapped in bubble wrap, with no filter case or box. It was dirty, and half of the ridges around the outside of it were worn away.

Works great! It screws on nicely then the top part rotates freely so you can adjust the polarization. I was worried about it interfering with the auto focus as I know some lenses from other manufacturers have that issue but this one does not have that problem. I am able to focus on close and far subjects without trouble. I'm looking forward to using it on my next paddle board adventure!

Comprato per proteggere la lente dell'obiettivo originale. è perfetto e mi salva da giornate ventose dove viene trasportata sempre polvere e sabbia.A mio modesto avviso sono lenti di qualità

Lo provato durante una vacanza, ma le foto sono risultate tutte con una tendenza al blu molto marcata e fastidiosa... :(. Non avendo esperienza in altri filtri polarizzati, comunque, mi é sembrato adeguato nel filtrare i riflessi, ravvivare i colori delle foglie, dei capelli, ecc.

Se nota mucho cuando esta puesto en el objetivo. No hay nada que no me guste de este filtro, lo llevo siempre puesto en la cámara, ya que filtra muy bien los reflejos y les da una tonalidad muy bonita a las fotografías. Lo recomiendo a todos porque es bueno, bonito y barato.

I got this filter to augment my collection of filters for my Olympus camera, and I find it works very well. As a professional photographer I come into various lighting situations for given combination of subjects and conditions. This sort of filter is indispesible for getting the glare off of water or through a window when the subject is on the other side of it. If you are just an amateur photographer, you may not need such a filter, but an enthusiastic hobbiest would find it very necessary. I have for many years trusted Hoya filters, so the brand is a no-brainer, and I DO NOT balk at spending a few bucks more for quality on something as important. A UV filter should be on each and every lens you have, both for function and protecting the lens, as a few bucks for a UV filter beats the hell out of spending several hundred for a new lens because you scratched it.

Fà il suo lavoro mantenendo inalterate le tonalità dei colori , efficace sui contrasti dei cieli per mantenendo un'ottima definizione , soddisfatto dell'acquisto pervenuto in tempi rapidi.

Why should this not work on digital photos? I do not know. I also have Hoya's Digital Pro1 circular polarizer filter. There's a subtle difference between photos of the identical scene taken with either filter, but they both seem to do the desired job.

I received a linear polarizer (as described). Seems to be pretty decent quality. I've only been able to take it out once on shooting session. Using a Panasonic GH2 +manual lens it does get a little tricky to see when the polarizer is in action. The LCD/EVF auto gains to present a viewable image so they won't always do the trick. Instead keep track of the exposure value and histogram. Wasn't the best session to really test it (I am also still learning to use it) but it definitely seemed to cut out reflection when I was testing it on some car windshields.

Hoya has some good polarizers for the 52mm and this is one of them. Its not MRC which can be a problem. Had several scratches on this lens but, really can't see in on my photos, only the dust particles appears on photos. Comes in handy when taking pictures during the day and capturing reflections on lakes, and some beaches (if the water is clean) helps you to see reefs and what not. I notice it doesn't come in handy when shooting through a glass window where you're capturing a picture of a person or thing through the window as it cuts down on your reflection (depending on the light source too).I bought this a couple times and my first one, the ring broke off and was bummed out. I never had this happen to my b+w.

Il filtro polarizzante ha un ottimo prezzo e possiede piena compatibilità con la mia Lumix. Il filtro originale della Panasonic costa circa il doppio.

I used this lens on a trip to Utah's canyon lands with excellent results. People were amazed at how blue it turned the skies over souther Utah. Almost all glare was removed from the water of lake Powell.The only complaint that I had was it was a bit difficult to unscrew because of the rotating polarizing lens.

I've been very impressed with this product. It has made a significant difference in the appearance of my photos. Granted, under certain conditions it is unnecessary. And as of recent, unless I'm working in extremely bright light and using a very good aperature lense, this is actually taking something away.Basically, in my opinion you need to know when to have it on and when not.I personally prefer to shoot in B&W as opposed to color...and this lense has intensified an appearance that I try to create with my exposures...some might now really care for them but I personally prefer it. I don't sell my shots for any profit so the move away from what is normally "accepted" is good to me as it adds a bit of a signature to the picture.Would I buy this filter again - WITHOUT A DOUBT, YES!!Would I expect something other than the results I received - in some terms yes, in others its been right on par.Well worth the money.
