 I'm surprised that it actually can improve your photosJul 25, 2008
By S. Florio
There is a lot of controversy about whether or not a UV filter makes your photos better or worse. The manufacturers claim that it "removes haze" and purists say it degrades your photos. I was very skeptical because another piece of glass between you and the subject has to be a risky proposition image quality-wise, but I was very interested in protecting my lens investment. I chose this filter for my Sigma 18-125mm OS lens because it seemed to be about midrange quality, as I suppose the lens is, and Hoya seems well established.
As I often do, I did a number of test shots and to my surprise, on a sunny day at longer focal lengths the photos were unmistakably sharper with the filter than without it. This was not true at 18 mm where it was fuzzier with the filter, but this difference all but vanishes when stopped down to f/11. (with or without the filter, the lens appears to work best at f/11.) In some shots it appeared to make the color of grass a little more naturally green.
I haven't read a scientific discussion about why these improvements might be happening, but it makes sense that if you prevent UV from entering the lens barrel, it will not be able to randomly bounce around between all the glass elements inside. I recall from basic science that light at the high end of the spectrum such as UV light tends to scatter much more than longer wavelength light such as visible light.
So for now I'm leaving it on, remembering to take it off for wide shots with wider apertures.

To serve and protectMay 14, 2007
By Mark Hunsaker
Since most of my photography is done indoors, this filter was purchased to protect my much more expensive lens from accidental scratching. The product comes in a nice plastic case with a foam insert, and mine was clean and clear upon arrival.
It's also important that this filter is multi-coated... just like most nice lenses are. There's no reason to throw an uncoated junky filter in front of a nice lens with coating!

Good Filter, High QualityMar 30, 2012
By JTL
I've used filters from all major brands and plenty of knock-offs and no names. I decided to adopt Hoya as my brand. The real reason I did so was that more and more photography professionals seem to be recommending them to me. I think if several sources who don't know each other recommend not just the same make but the same model, there's probably quality there.
I buy the Super Multi version for all my lenses (67, 72, 77 and I have a 52 coming) ... I think it's important to use the same make/model filter on all your lenses so that you are seeing apples-to-apples when shooting the same subject (under same conditions) with different lenses. Aside from artistic filters (CPL, ND etc) the filter should not modify the image all that much.
The glass is clear, sharp, flare-free and provides protection for the lens without degrading image quality. That's really all we want from a UV filter.

Genuine multi coated filter, excellent product!!May 19, 2011
By Arjun Varma
This is a genuine multi coated filter, you can confirm it by seeing a reflection of any object on the glass surface; it shows up with a green tint. Tested this with indoor and outdoor shots and did not affect picture quality. Constuction quality is excellent and has a lightweight alluminium ring/body. Extrememly durable. Hoya is among the top three filter manufacturers in the market and at this price this is a steal!!Canon EF 70-200mm f/4 L USM Zoom Lens with 57" Tripod & Tripod Collar + Hoya 3 (UV/CPL/Warm) Filter Set + Cleaning Kit for Canon Rebel T1i, T2i, T3, T3i, EOS 50D, 60D, 7D, 5D Mark II, 1D, 1Ds Digital SLR CameraCanon EOS 60D 18 MP CMOS Digital SLR Camera with 3.0-Inch LCD (Body Only)Hoya SUPER HMC Haze UV(0) - Filter - UV - 52 mmHoya HMC UV(C) Filter - UV - 67 mm

Great filterJul 27, 2010
By Jason A. Laurain
I have these Hoya filters on both of my lenses. They do what they are supposed to do. They are a little tough to keep clean but I find that a little breath and the carbon tip of a lens pen works perfectly.
