Hoya 86mm UV(O) Digital HMC Filter 

Though not visible to the naked eye, UV light rays are visible to camera sensors and film. They can adversely affect the image when shooting in locations like the seaside, landscapes or mountainous environments, resulting in blurred contours or faded and whitish images. UV filters are able to suppress the UV spectrum contained in daylight that causes poor effect on images.

This filter can be used with both film and digital cameras and provides more vivid images. In addition, by keeping it constantly attached to the lens, this filter serves as everyday lens protection.

These popular filters are renowned for their ability to minimise reflection on filter surfaces which reduces flare and ghosting.

With an average light transmission of over 97%, the HOYA HMC filters are engineered to enhance the performance of today's multi-coated lenses. 

• Slim filter frame to help avoid vignetting on wide angle lenses, will also hold a lens cap
• HMC (HOYA MULTI COATED) to increase light-transmission and reduce flare or ghosting

The HOYA UV(0) filter uses the highest quality heat-resistant tempered glass, which creates a smooth, clear image. This filter cuts out all the range of UV rays to give an astounding sharpness and clarity without affecting the colour balance. Constant use for lens protection is recommended.
