Hoya UX II 46mm UV Filter (141369715VOK)

The UX II UV filter with water-repellent coating is a redesign of the HMC UV(C) filter, now integrated into the new standard class UX II series alongside the UX II CIR-PL filter. The UX II UV filter is a completely new concept design product targeting entry-level users and providing high-quality standards with basic and contemporary functions.

"UX" in the series name stands for "User eXperience," intended to indicate all the experiences users will acquire through using these filters and everything that comes with them. By naming this series UX, we aim to offer users better individual experiences through all activities connected with photography.

Though not visible to the naked eye, UV rays can affect the image when shooting in locations like seaside or mountainous environments, resulting in blurred contours or faded, whitish images.

UV filters can suppress the UV spectrum contained in daylight, which mainly causes poor image quality. This filter can be used with both film and digital cameras and assures more vivid images. In addition, keeping it constantly attached provides everyday lens protection.

An anti-reflection coating prevents unwanted reflections and increases light transmittance.

A water-repellent coating has been added to the anti-reflective coating, repelling water droplets and making it easier to clean the filter surface from dirt or fingerprints.

The slim frame assures no vignetting even with wide-angle lenses.
