Hoya UX II Circular Polarizer Filter 46mm

Target Audience

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

User Experience

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

Control Reflections

Circular Polarizing (CIR-PL) filters are primarily used to reduce light reflections from non-metallic surfaces. The filter's maximum effect position is commonly used to minimize reflections. However, photographers can also adjust the filter to enhance or control reflections creatively, making the CIR-PL filter a versatile tool for reflection management.

Enhance Contrast

These filters improve saturation in skies and foliage by cutting reflections caused by moisture droplets and dust particles in the air. This effect increases the visibility of white clouds 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 allowing precise adjustment of the polarizing effect.

Additional Features

• Threaded edges enable attachment of additional filters and lens caps.
• The slim black aluminium frame design prevents vignetting, even on wide-angle lenses.
