| Looking through it with the naked eye reveals no distortions or imperfections. This is a genuine multi-coated UV filter (test this by looking at a reflection of a light source on its surface: a perfect reflection indicates no coating, a dim reflection indicates a single coating, and a green reflection indicates multiple coatings). Multiple coatings yield superior light transmission through the glass, and less glare, but (and this affects all multi-coated filters from all companies) also pick up dust, fingerprints, and condensation very easily (just holding it on the metal ring with your fingers causes condensation from your perspiration). |
excellent filter, excellent value

| Fantastic filter, excellent build, glass, multicoated, not overpriced. All a filter should be. I've bumped the edge of this filter against hard surfaces more than once and it has not bent the aluminum ring or hurt the lens it was attached to. Excellent product. |
Just what I needed

| This item turned out to be the right feature and the right price for me (I bought two of them for two lenses). Research convinced me to buy a lens filter that had multi coating on it to go with the lenses that are multi coated. These had excellent reviews and a reasonable price, so I gave them a try. They showed up in excellent shape, went on easily, and are now doing just so what they should be doing... caring my camera lacking me noticing the variation. |
I can see it really better as multicoated

| I hope I read other reviews about multicoated UV filter much early. I use a normal ... UV Haze filter on my kit lens since the first day, 2 years ago! I can take some sharp pictures, but always feel a masking over the picture and have to use software to touch up. To attack glare I even bought a flower shaped hood. With this Hoya HMC zipped on, I can tell it's more clear through now. Adorama standard shipping is lightning quick. From introduction order to getting the filters only took 4 days, including a weekend. |
UV Filter is transparent

| The Hoya Multi-coated filter does not get in the way of exceptional photograhps. Cannot detect any reflections or extraneous light from the glass, I cannot detect any variation in image feature in photographs taken with and lacking the filter. I deliberate it to be a high feature filter at least for the photo aficionado. |
