&#149; Absorbs the ultraviolet rays which often makes outdoor photographs hazy and indistinct. A muliti-purpose fine-weather filter for color as well as black and white films. Also serves as a permanent lens protector.   &#149; Hardened Glass:  Hardened optical glass that has 4 times the breaking strength in ANSI standardized testing (ANSI Z80.3 : 2001) where a steel balls of varying size and weight were dropped from a height of 50 inches onto the glass.   &#149; Hardened 8 Layer Waterproof Multi-Coating that is Scratch & Stain Resistant:  Newly developed industry leading 8-layer multi-coating yields an average light transmission rate of 99.35% between 400 and 700nm (visible spectrum). These coatings greatly reduce reflections off the surface of the glass allowing you tocapture more light in your photos. &#149; As with all HOYA multi-coatings, HD HMC is applied in a furnace at high he at, bonding the coating to the surface of the glass. This process is called "hard coating" and it is far more durable than other coating techniques. The chemistry of the top layer is formulated not just to be more durable but to be resistant to oil stains. This means that finger prints and other oils are much easier to remove. 

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.

Good quality for the price. I'd get this brand again for future filters

Glad that I went for the additional protection for my lens :)

Hoya 82mm MC UV Filter

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.

Great!

Love the extra protection to my $$$ lens.

Protect that glass

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.

Working well

Exactly as you would expect from a Hoya filter

Must have for new lens!

Great filter to protect the lens.  I would recommend.

Just in case, FILTER

Good protection

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.

Good all purpose filter

No loss of image quality while protecting my lens.

Protect your lens

Looked exactly like the picture. It's what i wanted and needed.

What I needed!

Hoya makes great lenses at a reasonable price.

Great lens at a reasonable price.

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.

Great Build Quality & Durability

They work great to protect my sigmas. good quality.

Worthwhile investment.

I’ve always used this brand of filter.  Seems to work as expected.

Always a decent filter for the money.

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.

Te filter was received in new condition, no defects and works well on Sony 24mm f1.4 lens. Does not cause any glare or effect sharpness. that I can detect. Would recommend.

I use this attachment to save my lenses from any damage and so far it does the job!

Great 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 Must Have Filter

Really a good filter and value along with free shipping. Adorama is a fine place to shop!!!

uv Hoya 52mm uv  is a great value

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.

A Wonderful Filter for (Almost) Every Situation

Works as advertised.  Would recommend it to all.
