Hoya Evo Antistatic CPL Circular Polarizer Filter - 72mm - Dust / Stain / Water Repellent, Low-Profile Filter Frame

If you're a photographer looking to enhance your images with vivid colors and contrast while combating the challenges of dust and glare, the Evo Antistatic CPL Circular Polarizer Filter - 72mm is your go-to accessory. Engineered by Hoya, this filter boasts a revolutionary ANTISTATIC coating that acts as a protective shield, effectively repelling dust. This innovative feature is especially beneficial in dusty environments, significantly reducing the need for frequent cleaning and maintenance compared to traditional filters.

The top layer of the filter is not only antistatic but also fortified to be water repellent, stain, and scratch-resistant. This durable construction ensures that smudges and fingerprints can be wiped away with ease, maintaining the pristine quality of your images. The circular polarizing filter is a crucial tool for photographers aiming to produce in-camera effects that cannot be replicated post-capture. It selectively filters out undesired reflections from non-metallic surfaces, such as water and glass, and diminishes glare caused by moisture and atmospheric pollutants.

By smoothly rotating the filter, you can fine-tune the level of filtration to suit your creative vision, resulting in more saturated skies, vibrant foliage, and either reduced or completely removed reflections. This control allows for greater clarity and purity in your final photographs. Crafted in Japan, the Evo professional filters are constructed from select silicates that undergo a meticulous smelting and blending process, resulting in high-performance optical glass.

Hoya's commitment to excellence continues with the application of an advanced 16-layer Super Multi-coating formula that significantly reduces surface reflections and allows for high light transmission rates. This meticulous coating ensures that the filter has a negligible impact on color balance, contrast, or clarity of the final image, aside from its intended polarizing effects.

The filter's construction features a lightweight, two-piece, low-profile aluminum frame designed to house the glass securely. This slim frame is engineered to prevent vignetting, even when used with ultra-wide-angle lenses, making it an ideal choice for landscape, architectural, and street photographers seeking a professional-grade solution to enhance their imagery without compromising on quality.
