Quick Service in Sending a Quality Item

Hoya filters are already well known and respected. I appreciate that Adorama's service was very quick, and the filter arrived within a few days. It as packed well and of course as a new item it was spotless.

More Secure Images

I am pleased with the quality of the Filter. The images are excellent and I fell that my Plena Lens will last a long time because of its protection.

No noticeable loss in image quality

Bought this for protection and was glad to see absolutely no loss in quality. Purchased for my Fuji XF70-300mm on my Xt4.

Good quality filter

Does exactly what it should do. It stays clean, and is invisible. Can?t speak to its ability to protect my lens from catastrophic camera drops as thankfully that hasn?t happened!!

A bit pricy but worth it to protect your lens from dust and finger prints

Perfect filter to accompany my 16-35mm GM lens. This filter was recommended to me by a friend who regularly shoots for their production studio. I am more of a hobby photographer so I was apprehensive about getting such an expensive lens but for the clarity and lack of distortion to the final shot I pulled the trigger. I talked to the staff in store for a bit about the lens too and felt at ease with my purchase. Fit perfectly and shots come out clear as day. It's also easy to clean with an alcohol wipe and finger prints don't leave a huge mark due to the coasting so I am satisfied.

Protection for my lens

I am very excited about this filter. My main use will be to protect the front lens element of my Nikon 16-35 lens, which accepts a 77mm threaded filter. The product was well-packaged and shipped out quickly. I received the package within a few days. Joshua Thorpe was very helpful, as always.

A nice filter to protect a lens!

I've only recently purchased this item, but it certainly fits my need as a filter to protect my Fujifilm lens. I anticipate no need to keep a lens cap on my lens.

Only brand I use in the field. I love these because of the durability and saved one of old EF lenses in the past. I now use them for my new RF Lenses.

I get this filter every time I buy a lens.

I've used all the top quality filters over the years and many are great but Hoya seems to have hit it out of the park with this one. Smudge resistance is so good I'm often not putting a lens cap on while working, even in a chaotic environment. I brush off the dust and keep going. Stacking this filter with others has not caused any edge problems.
