great filter

I got this UV filter for $5.00. It was in nearly perfect condition. I saved big $$$ with is purchase. I will never buy a new UV filter ever again. I don't like to use lens hoods and I need the filter to protect the front lens elements.

Great!

I ordered my lens cover for a autofocus telephoto lens I recently purchased. I call a supplier and they did not stock. I called Adorama and immediately the sales person knew what I need in size and price. My order was safely wrapped and shipped that day. A tracking number was emailed. My order was received in good condition. I will order other photo items, as needed, in the future, from Adorama.

Working well

Nice fit and finish, I don?t have enough experience to say if it?s improving my photos. I got it mostly as protection for my fuji 55-200 lens, and wanted something of decent quality that would not affect image quality at a reasonable price.

Good all purpose filter

Fits. Is on the camera. Haven't had a chance to use it yet as I just received a few days ago. I bought it as a general pupose filter and lens protector. Adorama did a good job with packing and shipping.

Great Build Quality & Durability

Great filter with amazing build quality. I've own several for different sizes of lens I have and they're all consistent. The glass holds up well, cleans easy & doesn't scratch with every minor ding.

Ok

No scratches so far but I am usually very careful with my equipment. Did not bring back washed out skies as well and I would have liked to.

A Must Have Filter

A good glass UV filter to adjust for bluish uv rays and light haze that may effect sharpness and exposure colors. Also also a reasonable level of protection for your lens.

A Wonderful Filter for (Almost) Every Situation

Hoya has always been my filter company of choice, and they continue to impress me. Since this was the first filter I've bought from their "alpha" line (having previously used HD3 or EVO UV filters), I was slightly concerned that the lower price might introduce issues. After using this on filter on a Nikon 50mm AIS mounted at various times to both a Nikon F4 (180 film exposures) and a Nikon D850 (~300 digital RAW shots), I can say that it provides similar results to it's more expensive brethren. In fact, I'd say for most people looking for a Hoya 52mm UV/protection filter, the two main options are this lens and the NXT (of course Hoya makes HD3, EVO, and other premium filters in this size, but for the basic needs of UV and front glass protection, the alpha and the NXT are both great choices). There are some situations though, where you might want (or sometimes need) to pick the NXT. The alpha uses a standard 5mm frame, while the NXT employs a thinner design, needed if you are shooting with a wide-angle lens or if you are stacking additional filters on top of your UV filter.
