Hoya UX II Circular Polarizer Filter 52mm

Target Audience

The UX II series is designed for entry-level photographers seeking high-quality filters at an affordable price.

User Experience

"UX" stands for "User eXperience," reflecting the enhanced photographic experiences users gain when using these filters and related activities.

Control Reflections

Circular Polarizing (CIR-PL) filters are primarily used to reduce light reflections from non-metallic surfaces. While the maximum reduction point is commonly used, these filters also allow photographers to adjust or enhance reflections intentionally, offering control rather than just elimination.

Enhance Contrast

CIR-PL filters improve saturation of skies and foliage by cutting reflections from moisture droplets and dust in the air, enhancing white cloud visibility and overall image contrast.

Compatibility and Design

The UX II CIR-PL filter is compatible with both film and digital cameras. It features a polarizing film sandwiched between two glass elements, with a rotatable front frame to position the polarizing film at the desired angle.

Additional Features

• Threaded edges allow attachment of additional filters and lens caps.
• Slim black aluminum frame prevents vignetting on wide-angle lenses.
