The Hoya 77mm Ultraviolet UV (C) Haze Filter is a wise initial investment. It helps protect your valuable investment from dust, moisture and scratches, which can lead to costly repairs. The "C" on the filter ring designates Hoya's thinner design for this filter. This filter has its UV properties in the multi-coating.The result is an average light transmission of over 97% giving sharp contrast and well balanced color. Hoya HMC filters are recommended for enhancing the performance of today's multicoated digital lenses.
Multicoated to minimize reflection at the filter surfaces which reduces flare and ghosting.

I had an issue with the 1st filter delivered - when I went to put the lens on the new lens for which I had purchased this (Sigma Wide Angle 28mm f/1.8 EX Aspherical DG DF Macro Autofocus Lens for Pentax), the glass fell out. After some difficulties getting it returned in and around B&H holidays, it has performed as I would expect for Hoya's normally fine products. I've attached a sunset photo from the Kahlenberg over Vienna that I took with it recently. I like it, despite the flare.

Side by side 100% crops with and without filter clearly show an abvious drop in image quality with this filter on. Edges suddenly turn to mush. I would NOT recommend this filter.

Comments about Hoya 77mm Ultraviolet UV (C) Haze Multicoated Filter:
I have tried taking photos with and without this filter and to be honest I can't see any differance at all. And one thing i like about it is that it is very thin so even when using it on a really wide angle lens it is no chance that it will make the corners of the picture darker.

Comments about Hoya 77mm Ultraviolet UV (C) Haze Multicoated Filter:
I got this with my Tokina 12-24mm lens and it works great as a lens protector. There is no visible glare and it is perfectly clear. Additionally, the build quality is good; the ring is metal, not plastic and the filter itself is real glass, which makes it feel much more durable and 'pro'.

These filters are great, and I use them on all my lenses to protect the front element. The really hold up, seem to resist scratches and are easy to clean.
I'd be hard pressed to use my expensive glass without them.
