Hoya UX II UV Filter 58mm

Product Overview

The UX II UV filter with water-repellent coating is a redesigned version of the HMC UV(C) filter, now part of the new standard class UX II series alongside the UX II CIR-PL filter. This filter is a completely new concept targeting entry-level users, providing high-quality standards with essential and modern functions.

User Experience

The UX in the series name stands for User eXperience, reflecting the comprehensive experiences users gain through using these filters and related activities. The series aims to enhance individual photographic experiences.

Impact of UV Rays

Although invisible to the naked eye, UV rays can affect images when shooting in environments such as seaside or mountainous areas, causing blurred contours or faded, whitish images.

Benefits of UV Filters

• Suppresses the UV spectrum in daylight that can degrade image quality.
• Compatible with both film and digital cameras, ensuring more vivid images.
• Serves as everyday lens protection when kept attached.

Coating Features

• Anti-reflection coating: Prevents unwanted reflections and increases light transmittance.
• Water-repellent coating: Enhances the anti-reflective coating by repelling water drops and facilitating easier cleaning of dirt or fingerprints from the filter surface.

Design Considerations

The slim black aluminium frame prevents vignetting even on wide-angle lenses.
