Hoya UV HMC Filter Overview

The Hoya 46mm 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 multi-coated digital lenses.

The filters are multi-coated to minimize reflection at the filter surfaces which reduces flare and ghosting.

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
Ultraviolet filters allow you to correct for the UV effect to varying degrees

Easily Scratched

I purchased two of these filters. Both of these filters got scratched with the first wipe of the glass. I've never had such an issue with any other filters, multi coated or not. Seems like a flaw in the filter design, that the coating is easily susceptible to scratching.

Perfect ... !!!

Does what it is supposed to do and a bit more

Yes, it is on the lens to protect it, and I know the pro's and con's of using this way, but I also think it helps to cut down on glare and haze a bit. Pictures seem to come out sharper and clearer but that is extremely subjective. Still it does what it is supposed to do, and the filter glass seems to be of high quality.

Does what it advertises

I bought this primarily to protect the lens and it seems to do its job. The filter quality seems good as I do not see any reduction in IQ when it is on the lens. I agree the UV function is not as necessary for digital (including mirrorless) cameras these days (vs. film in the days of old) but, like insurance, it is nice to have.

question

does this filter fit the Panasonic Lumix FZ80?
Asked by: Glenn R.
No, the Hoya 46mm Ultraviolet UV (C) Haze Multicoated Filter is not compatible for use with the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ80 Digital Camera. The Panasonic DMC-FZ80 has 55mm filter threads. As such, I would instead recommend the Hoya 55mm Ultraviolet UV(0) Haze Filter, B&H # HOUVMC55, for your usage needs.

HelloI would like to know if this filter is good enough and it is clear enough without reducing the sharpness of the image at all ?Also is it on the lens 24-70 full frame body going to show any vignetting.Thanks a lott
Asked by: Anonymous
This filter would be a good choice and would not reduce the sharpness of your lens. It will not cause vignetting on a 24-70mm lens attached to a full frame body.

I want to know the difference between the UV (c) and the UV alpha fitlerhttp://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/900341-REG/Hoya_calp77uv_77mm_Alpha_UV_Filter.html
Asked by: Anonymous
The Alpha version is a standard type of UV filter, the C version is a thinner version with shallower filter threads. This version is popular on wider lenses where vignetting can be a potential issue.
