Hoya 77mm Ultraviolet UV(0) Super Multi-Coated (S-HMC) Glass Haze Filter
The Hoya 77mm Ultraviolet UV(0) Super Multi-Coated (S-HMC) Glass Haze Filter is a wise initial investment. It helps protect your valuable investment from dust, moisture and scratches, which can lead to costly repairs.
Hoya's high transmission Super-Multi-Coating minimizes reflection at the filter surfaces which reduces flare and ghosting.
This outstanding filter offers revolutionary performance in light transmission and color balance. 12 layers of Super Multicoating are applied to the surfaces of the Skylight 1B and UV(0) models, which produces an average transmission of 99.7%.
Coupled with maximum surface precision, this allows increased resistance to flare and stunning images can be recorded at wide apertures without compromising the performance of your lenses.
- 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
- Ultraviolet filters allow you to correct for the UV effect to varying degrees

I use this filter on my Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L and EF 70-200mm f/2.8L lenses. Cleaning it requires only slightly more effort than involved in a cheaper filter, which is not multi-coated; however, the build quality, fit and flare elimination features make this filter well worth its price.

The UV coating was all jacked on this. I tried another Hoya UV(0) at my local camera store and it was jacked. Try B+W.

Comments about Hoya 77mm Ultraviolet UV(0) Super Multi-Coated (S-HMC) Glass Haze Filter:
This filter is well made. It "feels" well designed. Screws on to the lens without any hesitation or resistance.
The glass does not introduce any noticeable distortion. The glass cleans easily without any smudges. I tend to keep a filter like this on my lens all the time to protect the lens itself. So far I've seen no reason to remove it.

Comments about Hoya 77mm Ultraviolet UV(0) Super Multi-Coated (S-HMC) Glass Haze Filter:
I always have this filter on my Canon 24-70mm lens. On the July 4 weekend, I dropped my camera bag and the filter was broken. The lens didn't even a scratch. I went B&H and bought another one exactly the same. I love this filer.

Great quality. I own several UV's and polarizers from Hoya and have been very pleased with the results I have gotten using them. UV's stay on pretty much all the time and offer great protection.

Works well in all conditions, doesn't seem to effect color or exposure, easy to screw onto lens.
I find these work better than the "Pro Digital" line as those have really short bezels and my lens cap doesn't grip it well.
