Hoya 77mm II (HMC UV / Circular Polarizer / ND8) 3 Digital Filter Set with Pouch

Pro performance in lens protection and image enhancement.

The Hoya 77mm II (HMC UV / Circular Polarizer / ND8) 3 Digital Filter Set with Pouch is the perfect set to enhance your pictures. The HMC UV Filter absorbs ultraviolet rays that often make outdoor photographs hazy and indistinct, and should be constantly fitted to a lens to provide improved clarity and color balance, as well as to provide protection to your lens. The Circular Polarizer Slim Filter allows you to remove unwanted reflections from non-metallic surfaces such as water and glass, and also improves color saturation, clarity and contrast. The Neutral Density Filter reduces the amount of visible light that enters the lens, allowing the user to utilize wider apertures or slower shutter speeds, particularly in bright conditions.

Key Features:

Hoya Ultraviolet (UV) Glass Filter:
This is a multi-purpose filter that is designed to optimize the photography experience of the digital SLR user. UV filters absorb ultraviolet rays that often make outdoor photographs hazy and indistinct, and should be constantly fitted to a lens to provide improved clarity and color balance, as well as to provide protection to your lens. Hoya HMC filters are optimized for use with digital SLR cameras, but they are also perfect for traditional 35mm SLR applications, including black and white photography.

Hoya Circular Polarizing (PL) Slim Filter:
A polarizing filter allows you to remove unwanted reflections from non-metallic surfaces such as water and glass, and it also improves color saturation, clarity and contrast. A polarizer is different than most filters in that it is composed of two pieces of glass, mounted independently inside a round frame so that one can be rotated relative to the other. As it is rotated, it increasingly cuts out glare and haze. With an SLR, you can actually observe this change through the viewfinder. Polarizers reduce glare from water, glass, or any non-metallic surface. You can also use a polarizer filter to darken blue skies. Polarizers come in two versions, linear and circular, and autofocus cameras will perform best with a circular polarizer.

Hoya Neutral Density (ND) Filter:
An ND filter is an essential accessory for any photographer's camera bag. ND filters reduce the amount of visible light that enters the lens, allowing the user to utilize wider apertures or slower shutter speeds, particularly in bright conditions. ND filters work especially well for portraits by allowing the photographer to reduce the depth of field, producing pleasant background blur while keeping the subject in sharp focus. These filters are also often used to emphasize movement by permitting slow shutter speeds in bright light, giving life to photos that would otherwise look frozen in time. An ND8 filter reduces the amount of light by 3 stops.
