HOYA engineers have developed a revolutionary antistatic coating that acts like a protective force field around the filter and effectively repels dust. In addition, the hardened, anti-static top layer is water-repellent, stain and scratch resistant and can be easily cleaned if stains or fingerprints appear on the surface. A Protector Filter is an extremely popular addition to any camera kit as it protects the front lens element from scratches, dirt, water and other foreign bodies. HOYA filters feature a lightweight, one-piece and flat aluminum frame with a low profile that perfectly matches the glass. Thanks to this one-piece design, the filter remains in perfect parallel alignment with the sensor plane to ensure maximum sharpness. At the same time, the flat shape of the frame eliminates any vignetting that might occur when using ultra-wide angle lenses. With HOYA filters you can optimally protect your camera equipment and achieve outstanding image quality at the same time. Thanks to advanced technologies and careful development, these filters offer reliable performance and allow you to focus on your photography.
