Questions & Answers

FAQ

What is the function of the 16-layer nano-coating on the Hoya HD3 Circular Polarizer Filter?

The 16-layer nano-coating on the Hoya HD3 Circular Polarizer Filter ensures an ultra-smooth and ultra-hard surface. This feature enhances the sharpness of your images, delivering a performance that is twice as sharp as the HD2 Circular Polarizer.

What benefits does the High-Transparency polarizing film offer?

Hoya's exclusive High-Transparency polarizing film allows an additional 2/3rds of a stop of light transmission compared to standard circular polarizing films. This results in faster shutter speeds and enhances color saturation and clarity for vivid photographs.

How does the Hoya HD3 Circular Polarizer Filter reduce glare and reflections?

The Hoya HD3 Circular Polarizer Filter works by filtering out horizontally polarized light, which can cause reflections and glare. It allows vertically polarized light to pass through, enhancing colors and contrast in your images.

Is the Hoya HD3 Circular Polarizer Filter suitable for outdoor photography?

Yes, the Hoya HD3 Circular Polarizer Filter is ideal for outdoor and landscape photography. Its effectiveness in reducing glare and reflections makes it an indispensable tool for capturing the elements of nature in their truest form.

The Hoya HD3 Circular Polarizer Filter is built with a robust construction that can withstand the rigors of frequent use. Its high-quality design ensures it remains reliable and effective over time.

Owner of Fox Photographics

I'm very pleased with my Hoya 82mm HD3 Circular Polarizer Filter. It was more expensive than others I have purchased in the past but so worth the extra. It's now my new standard for polarizers. Thanks Adorama

Hoya 58 mm Circular Polarizer HD3

I liked the C-PL filter - easy to use and felt well-made. I'm still a relative novice at using filters for special effects but am excited to try it in different scenarios. These clouds were high overhead so make your own judgement as to quality.

A gorgeous filter in need of a tiny improvement

A super-thin high quality filter. Optically, I doubt most people could find any fault with this filter. The view is crystal clear. It functions exactly as a circular-polarized filter should, and I've had no issues with keeping it clean - dust, debris, and raindrops are easily blown off. The thickness of the filter is very low; just about as slim as is physically possible in a manually adjusted polarizer. This is great for avoiding optical consequences - I can detect no obvious corner vignetting with any lenses on my Canon. Also, the filter is narrow enough to allow normal use of other hardware - I can attach & remove lens hoods & lens caps without needing to remove the filter first. However, those (good) attributes also may make adjustment of the filter a bit tricky for some. I have larger-than-average hands/fingers, and I have a bit of difficulty in locating the front adjustment ring by feel. The rear (mounting) knurled ring and the front (adjustment) knurled ring are so close together that I have to take my eye away from the viewfinder to make sure I've got ahold of the correct ring - and that is a pain. This is the only reason I gave a rating of 4 stars, instead of 5. I think there's a simple fix for this issue: Simply add knurling to the front/forward edge of the adjustment ring, in addition to the current knurling around the circumference. This would require retooling at the factory, but I believe it would make a great filter nearly perfect. It would also make it easier to adjust the filter while a lens hood is mounted ( I'm a strong advocate of hood use whenever possible).

Excellent Quality, vibrant colors

This is in amazing polarizer. I bought it replace another polarizer I had misplaced. It was definitely worth spending a little extra. The quality looks and feels so much better than less expensive models. Cleans really easily and the colors really pop a lot more with this one. Very happy with this purchase.

Great filter - worth the price?

This is a great CPL and super sharp. My “informal and unscientific” testing shows that blocks between 2/3 and 1 full stop of light.
