HOYA 55mm CIRC-POL (NANO) HD Filter

The HOYA 55mm CIRC-POL (NANO) HD Filter helps to reduce reflections and glare by filtering out light that has become polarized due to reflection from a non-metallic surface. The light from the sun naturally becomes partially polarized due to reflecting off electrons in air molecules, causing the light to scatter into what appears as haze. A polarizing filter arranges, and filters, this directionally polarized light perpendicularly to the reflected light, allowing for the absorption of much of this light. This results in a noticeable reduction of glare and reflections from non-metallic surfaces and an increase in the saturation of skies and foliage.

To prevent internal ghosting and reflections, the glass surface includes an 8-layer anti-reflective HD Multi-Coating. This offers further protection to the filter substrate and makes it water and oil repellent as well as scratch and stain-resistant. This filter features a thin filter ring to minimize the potential for vignetting while enhancing durability and jamming prevention and has 55mm front filter threads. Additionally, it comes with a protective case.

Key Features of the HOYA 55mm CIRC-POL (NANO) HD Filter

• Helps to reduce reflections and glare by filtering out light that has become polarized due to reflection from a non-metallic surface.
• Polarizing filters arrange, and filter, directionally polarized light perpendicularly to the reflected light, allowing for the absorption of much of the light.
• Clears up haze in distant landscapes and provides more saturated vivid colours.
• Strongest effect when used at a 90° angle from the sun.
• Circular polarizers are ideal for use with digital cameras and autofocus lenses where a linear polarizer will often disrupt auto exposure and focus features.
• Eight-layer HD Multi-Coating to prevent internal ghosting and reflections. Also, it is water and oil repellent as well as scratch and stain-resistant.
• Glass is mounted with High-Pressure Press Technology to ensure the glass does not loosen up over time.
• Plastic filter case for storage and transport.
