Hoya Evo Antistatic CPL Circular Polarizer Filter - 82mm - Dust / Stain / Water Repellent, Low-Profile Filter Frame

While Hoya's Evo Antistatic CPL Circular Polarizer Filter - 82mm is a high-quality, durable, and effective tool for photographers, it's the innovative antistatic coating that sets it apart. Acting as a protective shield, this coating repels dust, making it an ideal choice for environments where dust is prevalent. This feature not only reduces the need for frequent cleaning and maintenance but also enhances the longevity of the filter.

The hardened, antistatic top layer of this versatile filter is not just dust-resistant but also water repellent, stain, and scratch-resistant. This ensures that smudges or fingerprints can be easily cleaned off the surface, maintaining the pristine condition of the filter.

As a circular polarizing filter, it offers photographers the ability to create unique, in-camera effects that can't be replicated post-production. By filtering out unwanted reflections from non-metallic surfaces like water and glass, as well as light reflecting off moisture and pollution in the atmosphere, it enhances the overall image quality. The ultra-smooth rotation of the filter allows photographers to select the precise level of filtration needed to achieve their desired creative effect. This results in bluer skies, greener leaves, reduced or eliminated reflections, and greater clarity in your final image.

The Evo professional filters are meticulously crafted in Japan using hand-selected silicates that are carefully smelted and blended to produce high-performance optical glass. Hoya's precision and care extend to the application of the improved 16-layer Super Multi-coating formula, which significantly reduces or eliminates reflections on the glass surface and ensures very high light transmission rates. This means the filter has virtually no effect on the color balance, contrast, or clarity of the 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 makes it easy to use with a wide range of camera lenses and eliminates vignetting when used on ultra-wide-angle lenses. With its unique blend of functionality and durability, the Hoya Evo Antistatic CPL Circular Polarizer Filter - 82mm is an essential tool for every photographer's kit.
