HOYA engineers have developed a pioneering antistatic coating that acts like an invisible force field and keeps dust away from the filter. In addition, the hardened, anti-static top layer is water-repellent, stain and scratch resistant, making it easy to remove stains or fingerprints from the surface. Circular polarizing filters allow photographers to achieve creative effects that cannot be added after the shot has been taken. A polarizing filter reduces unwanted reflections from non-metallic surfaces such as water or glass, as well as light scattered by moisture and dirt in the atmosphere. By rotating the ultra-slim filter, the desired amount of filter effect can be precisely adjusted to achieve the desired creative effect. The new professional antistatic filters in the Fusion Antistatic Next series are made in Japan from hand-selected silicates. These are carefully melted and blended to create a high-performance optical glass. HOYA takes great care and precision in applying the enhanced 18-layer Super Multi-Coating (double-sided) formula, which drastically reduces or eliminates reflections on the glass surface and enables excellent light transmission. This means that in addition to its polarizing effect, the filter has virtually no effect on the colour balance, contrast or clarity of the final image. With HOYA filters, photographers can fully unleash their creativity while enjoying outstanding optical performance. The Fusion Antistatic Next series offers the perfect combination of advanced technology, precise craftsmanship and superior image quality to meet the most demanding photographic requirements.
