Hoya HD3 Circular HRT Polarizer Filter (49mm)
Key Features
  • Circular Polarizer Filter
  • 2x Filter Factor, 1.0 Stop
  • Helps to Eliminate Reflections and Glare
  • Reduces Haze in Landscapes
The HD3 Circular HRT Polarizer Filter from Hoya reduces reflections and glare by filtering out light that has become polarized due to reflections from a non-metallic surface to provide an increase in the saturation of skies and foliage. This filter utilizes optical thin HRT (high rate transmission) polarizing film that yields super-sharp, high resolution images to meet the demands of 100MP+ camera sensors. Eight layers of anti-reflection nano coatings on each side of the filter provide over 92% light transmission. This ultra-hard nano coating technology produces scratch- and stain-resistant HMC multicoating. The nano coating results in an improved beading effect when in contact with water or oil and helps keep the filter clean for longer than uncoated filters.

Would this circular polarizer cause vignetting on ...

Would this circular polarizer cause vignetting on the low end of a 15-35mm zoom?
Asked by: Gregory
Due to its relatively thin profile, it should not cause vignetting on a 15-35mm. However, in the event there is some, it would be very, very minor.

question

Is this a better polarizing filter than the B+W 77mm XS-Pro Kaesemann High Transmission Circular Polarizer MRC-Nano Filter at half the price?
Asked by: Ted H.
What you are paying for is quality. Hoya is one of the best companies making filters. With this one you getting all the best features Hoya can produce. The quality of the ring, the glass, the foils that make up the Polarizer, the works. The B+W, on the other hand is the finest they make in this size. Honestly, without comparing side by side, it is hard to make a determination. I suspect both will have outstanding performance and build quality and the in the long run, you will not lose with either.

I cannot find any objective comparison between the Hoya HD3 Circular Polarizer and the NXT Plus other than brain wash marketing. Would someone help finding information? I can hardly justify $200 in a filter even though money is not a problem.
Asked by: Xavier
It’s a good filter but nothing special about it. You will rarely use it if you have got good prime lenses

question

Zeiss or Hoya HD3 CP? They are about equal in price, but which is the better filter for Sony f/2.8 24-70?
Asked by: OneForkShort
Both filters have an anti-reflective coating, but the Hoya HD3 would have a 16 layer coating which prevents scratches, stain, and is water resistant, for easier cleaning. Also it has a thinner ring which is better for wider lenses like a Sony 24-70mm f/2.8.
