Polarizing Antistatic HOYA

Polarized anti-static HOYA filter

HOYA engineers have developed a new ANTISTATIC coating that acts as a force field around the filter to repel dust. Perfect for environments where dust is common, these filters require less frequent cleaning and maintenance than traditional filters. In addition, the hardened and antistatic superior layer is water repellent and stain resistant, and is easily cleaned when stains or fingerprints are introduced to the surface.

Circular polarizing filters allow photographers to achieve creative effects on the camera that are not possible once the image is created. A polarizing filter simply filters out unwanted reflections from non-metallic surfaces such as water and glass, in addition to light that reflects off moisture and pollution from the atmosphere. By rotating the ultra-soft filter, you can select just the right amount of filtration needed to achieve the creative effect. This results in bluer skies, greener leaves, reduced or removed reflections, and greater clarity in your final image.

The new FUSION professional antistatic filters are manufactured in Japan using hand-selected silicates that are carefully melted and mixed to produce high-performance optical glass. Then, HOYA uses extreme care and precision to apply the improved 18-layer Super Multi-Coating formula (both sides) that greatly reduces or eliminates reflections on the glass surface and produces very high light transmission rates. This means that the filter has virtually no effect on the color balance, contrast, or clarity of the final image beyond its polarization effects.

The filters feature a lightweight, two-piece, very low-profile aluminum frame to house the glass. The low-profile frame eliminates vignetting when used in wide-angle lenses.
