Hoya Evo Antistatic CPL Circular Polarizer Filter - 58mm - Dust / Stain / Water Repellent, Low-Profile Filter Frame

Just introduced by Hoya, the Evo Antistatic CPL Circular Polarizer Filter - 58mm is a high-quality, durable, and effective tool for photographers. This versatile filter is designed with an innovative antistatic coating that acts as a protective shield, repelling dust and making it ideal for environments where dust is prevalent. This feature significantly reduces the need for frequent cleaning and maintenance, compared to traditional filters.

The top layer of this easy-to-use filter is hardened and antistatic, offering water repellent, stain, and scratch-resistant properties. This ensures your filter remains clean and clear, even when smudges or fingerprints come into contact with the surface.

As a circular polarizing filter, it offers photographers the ability to create unique, in-camera effects that can't be replicated post-production. It effectively filters out unwanted reflections from non-metallic surfaces like water and glass, as well as light reflecting off moisture and pollution in the atmosphere. By smoothly rotating the filter, you can select the precise level of filtration needed to achieve your desired creative effect. This results in more vibrant skies, greener leaves, reduced or eliminated reflections, and overall greater clarity in your final image.

The Evo professional filters are proudly made in Japan, using hand-selected silicates that are meticulously smelted and blended to produce high-performance optical glass. Hoya applies an improved 16-layer Super Multi-coating formula with extreme precision, significantly reducing or eliminating reflections on the glass surface and ensuring very high light transmission rates. This means the filter has virtually no effect on the color balance, contrast, or clarity of your final image, beyond its polarizing effects.

The filter features a lightweight, two-piece, low-profile aluminum frame that houses the glass. This low-profile frame design eliminates vignetting when used on ultra-wide-angle lenses, making it a versatile addition to any photographer's toolkit.
