Hoya HMC - ULTRA UV-(0) + PL-CIR with Cap - 72mm

A revolutionary 'hybrid' design which combines the effect of two different filters in one ring. This filter eliminates ultraviolet rays to remove haze from outdoor shots as well as polarising the light to remove reflections, and increase color saturation, without affecting the overall color balance. Fitted in a slim rotating 5mm ring, it will be invaluable to landscape and other photographers who need avoid vignetting with wide angle lenses.

Filters in this series use HOYA new ULTRA thin rings which, like the Super PL-CIR filter, are designed primarily to avoid vignetting problems which occur with wide angle lenses. The ULTRA series filters use rings just 3mm in thickness, except for the hybrid UV/Polariser which has a 5mm rotating ring. HMC Multicoating is applied to both sides of the filters and they are supplied with HOYA push-on lens caps. The Ultra ND filters use new Multi-Layer Coating technology to produce a neutral transmission curve which gives perfect color balance. They have also introduced hybrid filters in the ULTRA series, these combine the effect of two filters in one (i.e.: PL-CIR and UV together). This means that HOYA ULTRA series filters are the ultimate choice for wide angle lenses - there is no other filter available to exceed the ULTRA specification.
