The Hoya 62mm Ultraviolet (UV) Pro 1 Digital Filter is a wise initial investment. It helps protect your valuable investment from dust, moisture and scratches, which can lead to costly repairs.
Digital camera CCD or CMOS sensors are highly susceptible to reflections. This stray light can ruin your photographs with flare and ghosting. Hoya Digital Multi-Coating reduces any internal reflections, which means a clearer image with greater contrast.
A UV filter not only minimizes the bluish cast sometimes found under daylight conditions, but is also the best available protection against accidental damage to the front element of your lens. A lens that accidentally gets dropped on its front element while hiking can potentially be saved by purchasing this item. Some people refer to it as "cheap insurance".
As a lens protector, it should be left on at all times. Aside from that more-than-significant benefit, UV filters render your photos clearer, sharper and more contrasty. For those who enjoy outdoor photography, especially distant vistas, a UV filter can produce a more distinct and acceptable image by removing much of the blue tint normally associated with atmospheric haze.
The advantage of most Hoya filters is that Hoya puts, at least, one layer of anti-reflective coating on each side of their glass. It is not bare glass. Even if the glass is not multi-coated, this kind of production tends to minimize flare and ghosting. Digital Multi-Coating takes this protection to a higher level.
Hoya is one of the largest manufacturers of glass in the filter industry. In collaboration with its parent company, Tokina Optical, Hoya continues to strive to produce some of the best glass on the market. Currently, they hold 40% of the world's market for optical glass.
Note! Pro 1 Digital filters are ultra thin, but have a front thread
- Digital Multi-Coated
- Digital multi-coated filters greatly reduce the appearance of lens flare and ghosting caused by internal reflections that can be a problem with CCD and CMOS sensors
- Black Almite Frame
- Filters feature a black matte aluminum, satin-finish almite frame, which reduces reflections
- Black Rimmed Glass
- These filters are equipped with black rimmed glass to reduce the chance of light reflecting off the edge
- Low Profile Frame
- Ultra-thin filter frames, which help to avoid vignetting on super wide angle lenses, are also designed to hold a lens cap
- Knurling Edge Frame
- These filters are equipped with a straight knurling edge for non-slip, easy attachment and removal
- UV Protected Case
- Filter cases are UV protected, which further lengthens the life of filters
- If desired, it can be left on the lens at all times, for protection

Comments about Hoya 62mm Ultraviolet (UV) Pro 1 Digital Filter:
I have purchased two of these filters in this size now. No one really can compete with the great quality of Hoya's Multi Coated Optics. They live up to all they are advertised to do. My personal preference are the Pro 1 digital filters due to multi coating and filter thickness. (thinner filters are less likely to effect image quality) I purchase one of these filters every time I buy a new lense and it goes on and never is taken off, keeping my front element in like new condition.

Comments about Hoya 62mm Ultraviolet (UV) Pro 1 Digital Filter:
This filter did the job. No glare, to flares, I didn't even notice it was on the lens. I did not compare the quality of image before and after but for the price it did a great job without interfering with sensors.

Comments about Hoya 62mm Ultraviolet (UV) Pro 1 Digital Filter:
The product quality is great. It gives me confidence that my lens is protected, and it's hard to believe the difference in photo quality between Hoya and off-brand filters. It is a little difficult to clean, but be persistent.

Comments about Hoya 62mm Ultraviolet (UV) Pro 1 Digital Filter:
The Hoya Pro 1 Digital Filter line is my preferred way to protect expensive lenses. This filter remains on my lens unless there is a very good reason to remove it. It is completely transparent, and my comparisons of critical image resolutions with filter on or off show no difference. I strongly recommend the Hoya filter line; the filters are well-constructed and do not degrade the image or reduce the light in any significant way.

Comments about Hoya 62mm Ultraviolet (UV) Pro 1 Digital Filter:
The quality of this filter is really good. The frame is minimal but finely machined and finished. The clarity and anti-reflective coating on both sides of the filter is amazing. It's practically invisible. It's not inexpensive, but the quality shows.

Love the thin ring, and it has front threads. Front threaded filters are too hard to find, but this one fits the bill nicely.
