Hoya HD3 Circular HRT Polarizer Filter (72mm)
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.

Helps to reduce reflections and glare by filtering out light that has become polarized due to reflections from a non-metallic surface.
Using HRT (high rate transmission) polarizing film enables the filter to yield sharp, high resolution images to meet the demands of ultra-high resolution cameras.
Polarizing filters arrange and filter directionally polarized light perpendicularly to the reflected light, allowing for the absorption of much of the light.
This filter clears up haze in distant landscapes and provides more saturated, vivid colors.
Circular polarizers are ideal for use with digital cameras and autofocus lenses where a linear polarizer will often disrupt auto exposure and focus features.
8-layers of nano and multicoating on each side increase light transmission compared to uncoated glass.
The resistance coating is durable enough to help prevent scuffs and scratches, it provides an improved beading effect for water or oil, and it is easy to clean smudges and stains. 
The filter boasts 92% average light transmission.
The optical glass boosts clarity and color fidelity.
The 2x filter factor reduces exposure by 1.0 stops.
The thin, durable, aluminum-alloy filter ring minimizes the potential for vignetting when used with wide-angle lenses.
Included is a plastic filter case for storage and transport.
