Hoya EVO Antistatic UV Filter 

Protect your lens with the Hoya Evo Antistatic 55mm UV Filter. Water repellent, scratch resistant, and easy to clean. Shop now for ultimate image quality!

Under the meticulous craftsmanship of Hoya engineers, the Evo Antistatic UV Filter - 55mm emerges as a high-quality, durable, and effective solution for camera lens protection. This advanced filter is designed with an innovative ANTISTATIC coating that operates like a protective shield, effectively repelling dust and reducing the need for frequent cleaning and maintenance. Ideal for environments where dust is prevalent, this versatile filter also boasts a hardened, antistatic top-layer that is not only water repellent but also resistant to stains and scratches. This feature ensures easy cleaning when smudges or fingerprints mark the surface, enhancing the longevity and performance of your camera lens. The Evo Antistatic UV Filter's UV properties effectively filter unwanted ultra-violet rays, thereby reducing haze and enhancing image clarity. These professional filters are proudly made in Japan, utilizing hand-selected silicates that are meticulously smelted and blended to produce high-performance optical glass. Hoya's precision in applying the improved 16-layer Super Multi-coating formula significantly reduces or eliminates reflections on the glass surface, yielding a remarkable 99.8% light transmission rate. This ensures that the filter has minimal impact on the color balance, contrast, or clarity of your final image, making it an essential accessory for any photography enthusiast. The filter features a lightweight, one-piece, low-profile aluminum frame that houses the glass. This unique one-piece design ensures perfect parallel alignment to the sensor plane, delivering maximum sharpness in your images. Furthermore, the low-profile form factor eliminates vignetting, making it suitable for use with ultra-wide-angle lenses. In summary, the Evo Antistatic UV Filter - 55mm is an easy-to-use, versatile, and effective tool for protecting and enhancing your camera lens performance.

Very good filter. Not necessarily antistatic. I still have to blow dust off before taking photos, but I I live in a dusty state.not sure there are any filters that are truly antistatic when it comes to dust. The main use is to keep dust off my lenses. Filters are cheaper to replace after they gradually get scratched from dust and cleanin. All my prime lenses ( several over 40 years old) still have perfect glass because of filter protection.

Hoya filter

Optically excellent UV/protection filter. I'm not sure how much the anti-dust coating makes a difference but it makes me _feel_ better.

Solid choice

I vastly prefer cleaning lens filters to cleaning camera lenses. Also, I have lived in rather dusty locations, so the antistatic feature is important to me.

My goto protector for all of my lenses

Item is as described by the manufacturer. Good quality build. 
The filter does appear to repell unwanted air born dust. The filter has not yet been exposed to water nor stains.

The filter is better than BW.

Does what it says, appears to be very good glass. I use it on a Canon L series lens and get great color and saturation, no UV washout. Anti static coating seems to work, dust brushes off easily.

Good quality UV filter

Do Not put cheap glass over a expensive lens. That defeats the purpose of a good lens. And Hoya is top notch

Hoya top notch

I was a little skeptical about whether or not it would be worth the extra money, but the antistatic really works fantastically well. I did some long exposures on a windy day by the beach, and the grains of sand & moisture wiped right off without any smudging, and it definitely helped keep the extraneous stuff off.

Worth it!

This is a top-of-the-line filter.  The anti-static coating truly seems to repel dust.  I use UV filters to protect all of my lenses.  This one is an excellent choice.  I now own three of them.

Repels Dust

Not only does this filter reduce Sun Glare, but also from those "hot spot" street lamps, for example, if you're into Night photography. It also "doubles" as a Protector. A "must have" item for protecting your priceless lenses!

Get Rid of that Glare!

Not just a uv filter

My fav brand

Excellent prouduct.  Great protective case.

Excellent

UV Filter

Interesting filter, I am not sure it is working or not, since it behaves the same as a B+W filter.

Good quality overpriced

The reason I buy Hoya filters is that they come in a SEALED case that is tamper evident.  I am tired to morons opening up the case and handling the filter and greasing it up with oils and other bodily fluids from their fingers, and exposing it to dust and debris in the store.  

Since Hoya seals their product, I can rest somewhat assured that the product is in a somewhat sterile state, or as close to manufacturing state.  

Other than that, the quality is also nice.  The threads catch accurately, and it mounts on evenly and snugly.  So far it has not jammed up on me during removal.  The rim feels sturdy, and is pretty slim.  

The bad part is that smudges do not remove easily.  They tend to get embedded, or smear when wiped.  Also, packaging could always use more sealing, and make tampering even more evident.

Very Nice

All my high-end glass have Hoya on them.  Can't beat their performance.

Hard to beat

Does what I want it to do, protect the Nikon lens that it is mounted on without distortion.

Works well

These really seem to stay clean longer. Wish I had on all my lenses.

Stays clean longer

This Hoya filter checks all of the boxes I was looking to fulfill.  Tested with a NIKKOR 24 - 70mm lens (VR II model) and a D850 body, used alone this filter helped produce much more accurate photos, especially shooting wildlife on both cloudy and cloud-free days.  The blue of the sky didn't need heavy post-processing to match the rest of the image, and the clouds were crisp and free from artifacts and blurring.

This is not Hoya's strongest glass; that honor goes to the 32 layer HD3 series, however, the 16 layer antistatic filter has proven to be significantly tough during all situations I've put it in, with the active dust and water repellent requiring less hands-on cleaning in the field.  This line of filters also tops out among all current Hoya filters by yielding 99.8% of light transmitted.

Finally, being fully stackable by having front and rear threads, in combination with it's low-profile, makes it very easy to combine with other filters as well as adding stack caps for protection while stored in a bag.

An amazing UV lens that only lets the best light shine

One of my joys is photographing the coal-fired steam locomotives at Durango, CO and Chama, NM.  One frustration has been the amount of soot from the coal engine that finds its way to my camera lens. The soot can be difficult and tricky to remove from the lens or filter.   I purchased the Hoya antistatic UV filter (77mm) with the hopes of reducing the amount of soot on the lens.  So far I have been very impressed with the filter.  The antistatic coating works very well keeping the soot away from the filter.  Also the Hoya filter is well built and very thin.  Although the filter is a little pricey compared to standard filters, in the long run it is a wise buy.

Hoya Antistatic UV Filter - Outstanding!

filter is well worth the price doesn't distort images

hoya filter 77 mm

Filter works fine as a protective cover and appears to impart no changes to the final image. Nice thin bezel ring allows you to see 95% +/- of the front of the lens. During initial use the antistatic feature appears to be no more effective than my other Zeiss filters

Does the job

This is a well made product providing clear laity images. Construction is well made and solid. I recommend this filter.

Excellent Quality

Bought this filter based on all the reviews I read. Received quickly. No complaints at all with the filter. Seems to work as it's supposed to, fits appropriately. Very pleased and would recommend to others.

Thumbs up

I have the original UV filters without the antistatic coating and it really does make a noticeable difference. I am constantly cleaning my other lens filters but this one remains clean throughout the shoot.
