Questions & Answers

GEORGE M : I am going to take my digital camera to high altitude and need a polarizer. My camera is a Sony nex 5 and would this filter be a good choice?GEORGE M : Thanks Mark... Shot with it last weekend and like it alot...gMARK W : I like this filter with the slow NEX kit zoom because it does not reduce the light getting to the sensor as much as other filters.ADAM I : I'm not sure what altitude has to do with how well the filter will work. My experience with this filter on the nex-7 is that I can't see through the evf if I have the polarizer turned to the right degree. I suspect this is because the Evf is not sensitive enough to show the differences but, regardless of the cause it makes the polarizer virtually useless.ROBERT G : In that this filter specifically has UV filtering properties it should be better than a regular polarizing filter in helping reduce atmospheric haze. I have been to the mountains once since purchasing this filter, but I can't recall if I used in it photographing vistas or not. I was specifically attracted to the fact that you lose less light with this polarizer than a normal one, which is especially useful when using variable maximum aperture zoom lenses.
Shopper : Why Did You Choose This?MYLES S : QualityMARK C : Need a polarizing lens for trip to Maine to cut down on water reflections. This has a reasonable price and has good reviews.JASON M : I needed a polarizing filter for a new lens and this was a good price by a respected manufacturer.LARRY S : NEED IT.LINDA D : Wanted a CPL for my nifty fifty that wasn’t too expensive and based upon reviews, I decided to buy a Hoya. Also, this is the brand used by my photography instructor.Kim D : needed a polarizer and this one had a decent price and great reviews

I buy one for each lens

Here is a good example of what this filter can do. Out of the box, on the camera and quick test photos of my dirty car. Both photos with the filter on the lens. One with max polarization and one with minimum. Raw photos, only resized and converted to .jpg to post. Canon T8i / 50mm 1.8 / 49mm CPL filter

Big improvement

Big improvement over my cheap polarizer. Colors are more vivid and haze is gone. With a few step down rings, I can use this on several lenses, which makes the cost affordable.

Works awesome, great for the price!

Works awesome, great price! Super happy about the quality for the price range.. there?s some crappy filters out there for around the same that don?t seem to do much polarizing. I got it for a sony 90mm g macro, fit perfect.

Worked Perfectly!!

Worked perfectly! I use it to photograph clear glass, which any photographer will tell you is always a challenge. It took out the light reflection and now I can use my photo booth and lighting set up. Thank you!

Excellent results in the right conditions

Produces excellent results, though it reduces the light level a bit more than other similar lenses I have, so best if used with very bright light and heavy UV at higher elevations. I achieved excellent results recently in Colorado above 7000 ft elevation, but at lower elevations with less UV, say 2000 ft, I had to either switch to a different polarizer or else push the ISO setting up to 200 or even 400. So I will hang onto it as a specialty lens for mountain use, but switch to another lens for general use.

It is ok.

This filter works great on the 70-200mm size 77mm 2.8 but the 82mm on a 16-35 2.8 there is distortion and you can see a vertical line while shooting. The line doesn’t seem to show up in the image but it is distracting while photographing.

Affordable and gets the job done

Perfect for quickly getting a shot when sun is blazing on the water. Don’t screw it in too tightly — can be hard to remove.

About Hoya HRT Circular Polarizer

FEATURED REVIEWS

Good CPL

By KENNETH M.

I have used many CPL's over the years and this one has the feel of quality that is as good or better than any that I have previous owned. The polarizing filter is the one filter that cannot be simulated with post processing software. It is used to darken the sky and to reduce reflections form non-metallic surfaces.

I buy one for each lens

By STEVE B.

Here is a good example of what this filter can do. Out of the box, on the camera and quick test photos of my dirty car. Both photos with the filter on the lens. One with max polarization and one with minimum. Raw photos, only resized and converted to .jpg to post. Canon T8i / 50mm 1.8 / 49mm CPL filter

The HOYA HRT circular polarizer filter uses a newly developed High-Rate Transparency film that passes more visible light through the filter while still filtering the same amount of polarized light.

The HOYA HRT circular polarizer filter transmits as much as 25% more light through the polarizing film giving the photographer about 1/3 stop more light than a standard circular polarizer. This new polarizing film is also used in the latest HD LCD TVs.

The glass of the HOYA HRT filter also has UV absorbing properties making the HRT a combination UV/circular polarizing filter.

The most common use for a circular polarizer filter is to darken bright blue skies in outdoor photography, but they also can reduce or eliminate reflections from non-metallic surfaces such as glass and water. By rotating the outer ring of the filter the change of effect can be seen by looking though the filter or through the viewfinder if it is mounted on a camera.

HOYA is the world's largest optical glass manufacture, making glass to spec for almost every camera and lens manufacturer. HOYA is also the world's largest filter manufacture.
