Hoya UX II UV Filter 43mm

Hoya UX II UV Filter with Water Repellent Coating

The UX II UV filter 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 designed for entry-level users, offering high-quality standards with essential and modern functions.

User Experience Focus

The "UX" in the series name stands for "User eXperience," highlighting the enhanced photographic experience users gain when using these filters. The series aims to improve individual user experiences throughout all photography activities.

UV Protection and Image Quality

Although invisible to the naked eye, UV rays can affect images, especially in environments like seaside or mountainous areas, causing blurred contours or faded, whitish images. The UX II UV filter suppresses the UV spectrum in daylight that typically degrades image quality. It is compatible with both film and digital cameras, ensuring more vivid and clear images.

Lens Protection

By keeping the filter attached to the lens at all times, it also serves as everyday protection against dust, dirt, and scratches.

Advanced Coatings

• Anti-reflection coating: Prevents unwanted reflections and increases light transmittance for better image clarity.
• Water-repellent coating: Applied over the anti-reflective coating, it repels water droplets and facilitates easy cleaning of dirt and fingerprints from the filter surface.

Design Features

The filter features a slim black aluminium frame that prevents vignetting, even when used with wide-angle lenses.
