Hoya Fusion Antistatic Next Circular Polarizer Filter 58mm

Antistatic Coating for Dust Repellence

HOYA engineers have developed a new ANTISTATIC coating that acts like a force field around the filter to repel dust. This feature is ideal for environments where dust is common, reducing the need for frequent cleaning and maintenance compared to traditional filters.

The hardened, antistatic top-layer is also water repellent and stain resistant, allowing easy cleaning of smudges or fingerprints on the surface.

Circular Polarizing Filter Functionality

Circular polarizing filters enable photographers to achieve creative, in-camera effects that cannot be replicated after image capture. The filter removes unwanted reflections from non-metallic surfaces such as water and glass, as well as light reflecting off moisture and atmospheric pollution.

By rotating the ultra-smooth filter, users can select the precise amount of polarization needed to enhance the image. This results in deeper blue skies, greener foliage, reduced or eliminated reflections, and improved image clarity.

High-Quality Optical Glass and Coating

The FUSION ANTISTATIC NEXT professional filters are manufactured in Japan using hand-selected silicates that are carefully smelted and blended to produce high-performance optical glass.

HOYA applies an improved 18-layer Super Multi-Coating on both sides of the glass, significantly reducing or eliminating surface reflections and ensuring very high light transmission. This maintains accurate color balance, contrast, and clarity beyond the polarizing effect.

Filter Frame Design

The filter features a lightweight, two-piece, very low-profile aluminum frame designed to house the glass securely. The slim frame minimizes vignetting when used with ultra-wide-angle lenses.
