The Hoya HD Digital Circular Polariser Filter allows you to significantly reduce reflections and glare from non-metallic surfaces. A camera angle of 30 degrees from the reflecting surface (glass, water, etc.) is ideal for maximum effect. The HD Digital Circular Polariser Filter also enables colours to become more saturated and appear clearer with better contrast. This effect is often used to increase the contrast and saturation in blue skies and white clouds. Hoya's polarising filters do not affect the overall colour balance of a shot. HD Digital High Transparency Circular Polariser Filter main features * HD Glass -Chemically Enhanced Optical Glass is 4x Stronger * HD Polarising Film -High Transparency & High Durability UV Absorbing Film -25% Greater Light Transmission than Standard Polarising Film * HD Coating -8-layer Anti-Reflective Multi-Coating -Water & Oil Repellent, Scratch & Stain Resistant * HD Frame -Wide-Angle Lens Compatible Ultra Thin Frame -Glass Mounted with High Pressure Press Technology Hardened Glass Hardened optical glass that has 4 times the breaking strength in ANSI standardized testing (ANSI Z80.3 : 2001) where a steel balls of varying size and weight were dropped from a height of 50 inches onto the glass. High Transparency Polarising Film The polarizing film is the same as that used in the latest high definition LCD TV screens. It has 25% higher light transmission than standard polarizing film used in current photographic filters. Hardened 8 Layer Waterproof Multi-coating Newly developed industry leading 8-layer multi-coating yields an average light transmission rate of 99.35% between 400 and 700nm (visible spectrum). These coatings greatly reduce reflections off the surface of the glass allowing you to capture more light in your photos. As with all Hoya multi-coatings, HD HMC is applied in a furnace at high heat, bonding the coating to the surface of the glass. This process is called "hard coating" and it is far more durable than other coating techniques. The chemistry of the top layer is formulated not just to be more durable but to be resistant to oil stains. This means that finger prints and other oils are much easier to remove.... More
