Hoya UV UX 43mm MKII Filter

The Hoya UV UX II filter with hydrophobic coating is a redesign of the HMC UV(C) filters, now integrated into the new standard UX II series with the UX II CIR-PL filter. This is a completely new design targeting entry-level users and offering high quality standards with basic and contemporary features. 'UX' in the series name signifies 'User eXperience', indicating all the experiences users will gain from using these filters and everything that comes with them. By naming this series UX, Hoya aims to offer users better individual experiences across all photography-related activities. Although invisible to the naked eye, UV rays can affect images when shooting in places like the seaside or mountainous environments, leading to blurry outlines or pale, bluish images. UV filters can remove the UV spectrum contained in daylight which primarily causes these effects on images. This filter is compatible with both film and digital cameras, ensuring more vibrant pictures. Plus, by keeping it attached all the time, it serves as a daily lens protector.
