Hoya 55mm HD Nano Circular Polarising Filter

Hoya wanted to create a new range of filters that could meet the demands of super high resolution cameras and the needs of photographers who require ultimate protection for their expensive lenses. Using a new multi-coating process that provides 16-layers of anti-reflective coating to the optical glass, Hoya created a filter that is 2x sharper and a coating that is 200% harder than the previous model.

Using a premium high-transmission polarising film and Nano coatings, the HD Nano Circular-Polarising filter achieves an astonishing 92% light transmission, without affecting colour balance. This means 2/3rds of a stop of extra light is available to allow photographers a wider range of exposure combinations to use in critical lighting conditions. The Nano coating process includes a top layer which is highly scratch & stain resistant, plus water & oil repellent, making it easy to clean off smudges and fingerprints.

The filter reduces reflections from non-metallic surfaces and improves contrast and colour saturation. It also incorporates optical UV glass to remove unwanted ultra-violet rays, thus reducing distant haze and increasing image clarity. This means the filter faithfully maintains the sharpness and resolution of the original lens, whilst protecting it from everyday wear-and-tear in extreme shooting conditions.

The HD Nano Polarising glass is housed in a two-piece, low-profile and lightweight aircraft-grade aluminium filter frame. This design allows the filter to maintain perfect parallel alignment to the camera sensor, for maximum sharpness and zero distortion. Knurled edges on both rings allow easy rotation and attachment/removal from the lens. The low-profile design eliminates any vignetting worries when used on ultra-wide-angle lenses. The front filter threads accepts lens caps and other filters for stacking.
