Hoya NXT Plus 52mm 10-Layer HMC Multi-Coated UV Lens Filter, Low-Profile Aluminum Frame - With Hoya NXT Plus 52mm 10-Layer HMC Multi-Coated Circular Polarizer Lens Filter

An essential tool for any photographer, the NXT Plus 52mm 10-Layer HMC Multi-Coated UV Lens Filter is designed to safeguard your lens while enhancing image quality. This high-performance filter serves as a formidable barrier against potential damage from scratches, rain, dirt, and dust, ensuring your lens remains in pristine condition.

The NXT Plus UV filter, a significant upgrade from Hoya's best-selling NXT series, features a waterproof top coat applied to Schott B270 glass. This glass is meticulously polished for effortless cleaning, allowing dirt, smudges, and water to be wiped away with ease.

The filter's superior design incorporates 10 layers of Hoya's patented anti-reflection (AR) multi-coatings. This advanced technology ensures your images exhibit improved contrast, color, and sharpness, with an impressive 98% light transmission. As such, leaving the filter on your lens consistently will not compromise your image quality.

Constructed from lightweight aluminum, the NXT Plus filter frames are precision milled for a slim profile. This sleek design makes it an ideal fit for all lenses, including super wide-angles. The frame features full front filter threads, accommodating a standard lens cap or enabling the stacking of additional filters such as a circular polarizer or neutral density.

Beyond its protective function, the UV filter plays a crucial role in filtering through UV Haze. This feature becomes increasingly beneficial as you ascend to higher altitudes, where the filter effectively cuts through haze to enhance contrast and improve color. The NXT Plus boasts a UV Cut Point of 360nm or L36, a superior specification compared to most filters in its price range.

In summary, the NXT Plus 52mm 10-Layer HMC Multi-Coated UV Lens Filter is not just a protective accessory, but a valuable asset for capturing stunning, high-quality images.
