Hoya 77mm Ultraviolet UV Haze HD (High Density) Digital Filter
The 77mm Ultraviolet UV(0) Haze HD (High Density) Filter from Hoya is a wise initial investment. It helps protect your valuable investment from dust, moisture and scratches, which can lead to costly repairs.
This filter, with its hardened glass, has 4x the tensile strength of traditional filters of similar fabrication. This filter is also of great use in today's digital market where sensors are more sensitive to reflected light. Hoya incorporates special coatings that reduce these internal reflections and, thereby, promote a clearer, brighter and sharper image. The multi-coating used in this filter is made up of 8 layers on each side that promote 99.35% light transmission.
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.
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.
- Multi-coated - 8 layers on each side; 99.35% light transmission
- Waterproof, scratch and stain-resistant glass
- Good choice for digital photography
- If desired it can be left on the lens at all times for protection
- Haze filters provide additional benefits of correction for Ultraviolet(UV) light which can register on film and videotape as a bluish cast and can obscure distant details
- Filter promotes the acquisition of more light for your image
- Increases sharpness

Comments about Hoya 77mm Ultraviolet UV Haze HD (High Density) Digital Glass Filter:
Very high optical quality, durable, and less expensive than B+W but tend to smear and dust seems to stick to them a bit rather than easily wiping off or blowing away. I prefer B+W but they are more expensive so it's a trade-off.

Comments about Hoya 77mm Ultraviolet UV Haze HD (High Density) Digital Glass Filter:
Whilst not the highest transmission glass (SHMC is slightly better), I figured that the hardened/high density glass should provide some additional protection to my lens.

Comments about Hoya 77mm Ultraviolet UV Haze HD (High Density) Digital Glass Filter:
I have been using Hoya filters for a very long time, and in recent years have standardised on the High Density (HD) filters.
Like all Hoya filters I own, this 77mm HD UV filter is extremely well made and causes no degradation of image quality.
The HD glass also offers better protection for the lens than do standard grade filters.

Comments about Hoya 77mm Ultraviolet UV Haze HD (High Density) Digital Glass Filter:
I bought this filter to protect my lens Canon EF 17-55mm f/2.8 IS USM
This filter just like everything it said...tough construction, scratch resistant and doesnt need to clean all the time since it's rarely with dust...
The price is always an issue for me but I think It's worth every penny!
