Hoya UX II Circular Polarizer Filter 77mm

Target Audience

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

User Experience

The "UX" in the series name stands for "User eXperience," emphasizing the enhanced photographic experience users gain through these filters and their use.

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 creatively, offering control rather than just elimination.

Enhance Contrast

CIR-PL filters improve saturation of skies and foliage by cutting reflections from moisture and dust particles 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 adjust the polarizing angle as desired.

Additional Features

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