Hoya Pro1 Digital 58mm TWO Multi-Coated Glass Filters Kit with Hoya Pro 1 UV ... Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I ordered this set of filters just before my vaction were I visited a few aquariums and such as well as just visiting family.
The quality is just GREAT. I did have to clean the lenses when I opened them as there was some factory film/protection oil on them. After cleaning them wow, picture quality was vastly improved.
I have the Canon S3 IS with the lens adapter to 58mm and This set was a perfect buy for me.
These filter easily attach to one another as well (incase you weren't sure of this).
The UV filter I keep on the lens adapter to protect the lense itself and it doesn't degrade indoor pictures at all!
Circular Polarized filter: The best feature is that it has a slightly wider ring so that it's easily seperated from the UV filter, You can also rotate the CPL filter while it's screwed on. It has an independant rotation from it's mounting base. Not entire sure as to why this is as it is a Circular PL filter but I'm sure there is a reason (I'm still learning as I'm sure the Vets are more than aware of).
Conclusion: Great filter set and I would recomment to anyone that is looking. I'll post some pictures once I get the time taken with each of the filters. I'll go out and do a rotation set (unfilter, uv, uv+cpl, pl) so that you can get a better idea as to how much the images are enhanced with these filters.

Kit includes: 1) Hoya 58mm DMC PRO1 Digital UV Filter; 2) Hoya 58mm PRO1 Digital Circular PL Polarizer Filter; >>> Both filters include: Hoya USA Warranty. >>> The Hoya Pro 1 Digital Series Ultraviolet UV Filter is a multi-purpose, fine-weather filter that is designed to optimize the photography experience of the digital SLR user. UV filters, which absorb ultraviolet rays that often make outdoor photographs hazy and indistinct, should be constantly fitted to a lens to provide improved clarity and color balance, as well as to provide protection to your lens. >>> The Hoya Pro 1 Digital Series Circular Polarizing (PL) Filter allows you to remove unwanted reflections from non-metallic surfaces such as water and glass, and they also improve color saturation, clarity and contrast. This threaded filter is often used to increase the contrast and saturation in blue skies and white clouds, for example. Hoya's polarizing filters do not affect the overall color balance of a shot, and they will provide protection for your lens while shooting. A polarizer is different than most filters in that it is composed of two pieces of glass, mounted independently inside a round frame so that one can be rotated relative to the other. As it is rotated, it increasingly cuts out glare and haze. With an SLR, you can actually observe this change through the viewfinder. Polarizers reduce glare from water, glass, or any non-metallic surface. You can also use a polarizer filter to darken blue skies. Polarizers come in two versions, linear and circular, and autofocus cameras will perform best with a circular polarizer. >>> Hoya Pro1 filters are optimized for use with digital SLR cameras, but they are also perfect for traditional 35mm SLR applications, including black and white photography.

Hoya HMC Skylight 1B - Filter - skylight - 72 mm Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is unfortunately not a ultra thin filter with a thin filter ring. This is just a regular Skylight 1b filter. This is totally misleading. I am surprised Adorama is doing it. Got mine and no difference from my existing one :( and no mention of thin or ultra-thin in the box of the filter or the filter itself.

Hoya Moose 52mm Warm Circular Polarizer Glass Filter Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The bottom line first: This is the best polarizing filter out there for around 30 bucks or less.
I was looking for a polarizing filter for my S2 IS camera. And there are many filters out there at very cheap price. Some just around 15 bucks or less. And some are very expensive at several hundreds bucks for dSLR users. I didn't want to pay more than 50 bucks for a polarizing filter, but I didn't want to waste even a cent on a useless stuff. So I found this filter. It seemed to be a very good deal since it is a circular filter and it has warming effect. I bought it and I was impressed. All outdoor pictures look really good; the color is deep, water is clear, and clouds are all well shaped. Most nonmetal reflections was filtered out. You should remember that the best effect happens when your camera at 90 degree to the sun.
I doubt that those hundreds dollars filters will be much better than this one. They are certainly better but the difference must be very little in everyday pictures. If the professional one can filter out 99% of reflections, this polarizer must be able to filter out at least 96%.

Moose Warm Polarizer filters, an exclusive collaboration between Hoya and respected wildlife photographer and conservationist B. Moose Peterson of Wildlife Research Photography, are a combination of a polarizer and an 81A warming filter.For many years, polarizers have been used to remove reflections from non-metallic surfaces such as water and glass as well as being used to darken blue skies to increase contrast in scenic photography. When using a camera with a split beam metering system (a metering system that employs a polarized half mirror) which is most of today's auto focus camera bodies, traditional linear polarizers will cause exposure errors due to their light absorption properties. Circular polarizers yield the same optical effect while not causing exposure problems with modern metering systemsA side effect of both linear and circular polarizes is they "cool down" or make the over-all color balance of a scene slightly bluish. The addition of the 81A glass corrects the color temperature, bringing the scene back to the original 5500K for daylight film's color balance. The 81A glass creates a much more pleasing and warm color balance to the entire scene while the circular polarizer increases color contrast and reduces the effect of atmospheric haze.

(More customer reviews)I am a huge fan of this filter-it stays on my Minolta 5D/28-75mm f2.8 lens almost always, except when shooting indoors. I tried a few other filters, both by this manufacturer, and the other leading filter makers, and this one was the best. Had the best color reproduction-truly seems like the combo filter does exactly what it says it will.

Hoya Moose - Filter - warm circular polarizer - 77 mm Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Many people don't understand polarizing light, so they expect more from these filters than they can deliver. Polarizing filters depend upon the angle of the light essentially being at right angles to the axis of the camera lens. When used with a very wide angle lens, the likelihood of that light being at a uniform angle to the axis is about nil. As a result, when you look through the viewfinder, and rotate the filter, you should expect to see non-uniform darkening of the sky, when used with a wide angle lens. However, once the light hits trees, fields etc., it is scattered -- so the inconsistency of polarizing effect is much less pronounced. The issue is solely in sky. You may be able to reduce that effect by shooting at a different angle to the source of light (sun) - but that probably won't include the scene. Even if you fix the aperture and shutter speed, you can't shoot multi-image panoramas with a polarizing filter.
Other points: It will do very little at mid-day at times of year when the sun is dead above you. Or when the sky is overcast (although the Moose will warm the cold light of that day). Or when the sun is at your back.
Having said that, the Hoya Moose filter is the most satisfying I have used in nearly 50 years of photography. The warming effect is simply beautiful. I bought mine (62, 67 and 77mm) before a trip to New Mexico last winter, and whether shooting from the ride up to the Scandia Tramway or Ghost Ranch where Georgia O'Keefe painted, the results were consistently spectacular. I used it on a 17mm F3.5 Tokina ATX-Pro in the Southwest, and again in Israel, and whether shooting old rocks or old temples, the effect was a blow-away. I ordinarily detest putting a $70 piece of glass in front of a $700 lens, because the risk of inter-surface reflections cutting contrast is pronounced.* But when the light was right, that Moose was on the lens most of the day.
If you've never used a Moose, you will be astounded at how it can turn rather ordinary scenes into extraordinary. In environments like the Southwest, where pollution is minimal, the effect is to intensify edge sharpness. Texture, landscape tone, and general details will "pop" if the light is right for a polarizer. Just understand that, by blending an 81A with a polarizer, it will "warm" snow -- so be prepared to cool that down in digital postprocessing.
I just got a new 18-200mm Nikon VR lens, and debated whether I should get a new 72mm for it, or a cheaper adapter for my 77mm. I decided that to use the lens shade, I'd buy another Moose.
If you've been persuaded to buy one, leave me a comment after your first shoot -- and tell me how happy you are!
*Consider that, when you keep a skylight filter on your lens to "protect" it. It may "protect" you from getting getting the best deep-shadow detail your lens can deliver. And if your lens gets hit from the front, the filter shards will wipe out your lens, anyway...so use a lens shade to "protect" your lens from fingers and dirt.

Collaboration between respected wildlife photographer and conservationist B.

Hoya SUPER HMC Haze UV(0) - Filter - UV - 55 mm Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The Super HMC UV filter is distinguished by the optical coating on both sides of the glass. This is a high quality filter and worthly of high end lenses. I have them on both an 80-200mm f/2.8 and a 17-55mm f/2.8 Nikon lenses. No demonstrable reduction to the image quality is visible on images taken with either lens. In my sports photography work, I am typically right on the court very close to the action and having the glass of a $1,000 lens exposed is too much of a gamble for me. The only downside of this lens is that it's a bit difficult to clean as streaks seem to stick to it if the lens cleaning cloth (microfiber)isn't wet enough with cleaning fluid. However, I've found that if I flip the cloth to a dry spot right and swirl from the center outward to the edge, away go the streaks. The price ($39) through the Amazon affiliated dealers is excellent.

Light rays which are reflected by any surface can become polarised so polarising filters are used to select which light rays enter your camera lens. CIRCULAR PL filters allow you to remove unwanted reflections from non-metallic surfaces such as water, glass etc. They also enable colors to become more saturated and appear clearer with better contrast. This effect is often used to increase the contrast and saturation in blue skies and white clouds. HOYA's polarizing filters do not affect the overall color balance of a shot.Using the CIRCULAR PL filter, reflections and glare can be reduced significantly from non-metallic surfaces. A camera angle of 30 degrees from the reflecting surface (glass, water, etc.) is ideal for maximum effect.

I also use it to take portrait of people outdoor when a large aperture is neccessary to create a shallow depth of field.
This is not a cheap filter, but it is made of very high quality glass, and the ring is very well made.

ND filters appear grey and reduce the amount of light reaching the film, they have no affect on color balance.They have four main uses: 1. To enable slow shutter speeds to be used, especially with fast films, to record movement in subjects such as waterfalls, clouds, cars, seas etc. 2. To decrease depth of field by allowing wider apertures to be used, which helps separate subjects from their background. 3. To decrease the effective ISO of high speed film (ie: above ISO400) and allow it to be used outdoors in blight situations. 4. To allow cine and video cameras (which have fixed shutter speeds) to film subjects such as snow, sand or other bright scenes which would normally cause over-exposure

(More customer reviews)The filter works well, it's very slim and is easy to adjust. It's a little hard focusing manually while using it; and in cold weather it can get stuck on the lens. If that happens putting a rubberband around it to provide a better grip will do the trick. I use it with my 18 mm lens and have never noticed any vignetting on the photos I take with it, although there is usually a little bit of a bluish cast to the photos. That however, is faint.

The Sigma Multi-Coated Wide Circular Polarizing Filter allows you to remove unwanted reflections from non-metallic surfaces such as water and glass, and they also improve color saturation, clarity and contrast. This threaded filter is often used to increase the contrast and saturation in blue skies and white clouds, for example. Polarizing filters do not affect the overall color balance of a shot, and they will provide protection for your lens while shooting. This filter is recommended for color and black & white film, as well as digital photography. A polarizer is different than most filters in that it is composed of two pieces of glass, mounted independently inside a round frame so that one can be rotated relative to the other. As it is rotated, it increasingly cuts out glare and haze. With an SLR, you can actually observe this change through the viewfinder.

This particular circular polarizer is designed especially to benefit wide angle lenses, utilizing thinner filter rings to avoid vignetting, a common side effect of wide angle photography. Multi-Layer Coating for Superior Protection: Sigma has treated this filter with a multi-layer coating process, which, in addition to its reflection-reducing qualities, makes these filters especially scratch-resistant. This coating does not affect the optic characteristics of the filter, but significantly optimizes the protective effects.

B+W 72mm Circular Polarizer MRC Filter Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)If you have quality glass, like the Canon L series, then you need quality filters. the B+W are made from ground optical glass, not a piece of plain glass like as you see in the tiffen and hoyas filters (even the expensive ones are still cheap grade glass). Only B+W and Heliopan put the time and $$ into making filters that are designed to be used with your quality lenses and not distort and reduce the optical quality of them. I have 2 MRC, 1 Kaesemann, and 1 slim one, and I love them. I have a Heliopan as well, and I prefer the B+W a little bit more as its a brass ring and not aluminum and thus does not bind up as easy, and thats important when you want to change filters quickly! I like the MRC the best of them all, the slim one is a pain since you cant put a normal canon lens cap on it, but the Heliopan slim one you can... If you use a cheap filter on a pro grade lens, you are wasting your money, on the lens and the filter as the filter just hurt your image quality, and thus you lowered the quality of your lens! In filters, like lenses, you get what you pay for!!!
I shoot in all kinda of weather conditions, from sunny and warm, to windy and cold or snowy, and I have never had any major issues with any of my B+W filters acting up! I prefer the MRC or even the Kaesemann over the entry level one, but even their entry level one is ground glass, so you still get a great quality filter at that price point.

Opteka specializes in manufacturing special optical devices for the past several years, would like to take this opportunity to introduce a newly developed product called the "HD² Infrared X-Ray Effect See-Through Multi-Coated Filter". This filter makes it possible for you to see images that are normally invisible to the human eye. It sounds like science-fiction but it isn't; this fantastic new product has been developed using the most highly advanced optical technologies available. This filter will filter out 99% of light seen by the naked eye only allowing infrared light through so that technically the naked eye can see 100% black when the filter is in place. Multi-coating prevents light reflection, ghost light...etc, making images clearer and sharper. On your digital camcorder, turn the "Nightshot" function on - the naked eye cannot pick up the high contrast black, so with the infrared filter and Nightshot combination, for example, it will help you see in the images provided, that we 'accidentally' spilt some permanent ink on this document and the text is now impossible to read. However, when we attached the filter to our Sony 'TR250PK' camcorder, the writing is clearly legible through the ink - thus the x-ray effect! You will be amazed with the power if you take the time to experiment and experience its capabilities for yourself. If you already have a digital camcorder with the Nightshot feature and are interested in experimenting with the X-Ray effect, this is by far the least expensive method, giving you the results you are looking for. Just screw on the filter, switch on the 'Night' feature, and you are ready to go!
