Hoya A-52FLW-GB Overview

A 52mm Hoya FL-W Fluorescent Hoya Multi-Coated (HMC) Glass filter is used to balance daylight film under warm white or white type fluorescent lamps.

NOTE: The FL series of filters alone does not always guarantee 100% correct color balance when shooting under fluorescent lighting. They are general purpose filters intended for moderate correction and will not, by themselves, necessarily provide perfect color rendition.

An FL-D Fluorescent Glass filter is used when you wish to correct for the greenish tone that appears when shooting daylight film under general purpose fluorescent lighting.  An FL-B filter is used to correct the color balance when shooting tungsten film under fluorescent lighting.

Fluorescent lamps burn at many different temperatures and often require more demanding filtration for exact results. For specific filtration and professional use, it is strongly recommended that a color temperature meter be employed along with Color Correction filters (i.e.CC30M) when shooting under fluorescent lighting. This is the only proven way to achieve exact color correction.

Multicoated to minimize reflection at the filter surfaces which reduces flare and ghosting.

Pleasing skin tones under fluorescent lighting without flash

best price/performance for filter

For $12 very good. Great piece of glass from Hoya and inexpensive!

I don't like the case it comes in.

I gave it 5-stars, but I don't like the square case that it comes in--would rather have a round, screw-together type. Also, the small, safety seal leaves some sticky stuff on the outside of the case if you try to remove it.

See any errors on this page?

question

After figuring my exposure settings, do I need to add another stop for the filter?
Asked by: bobpeters61 ..
Hi ya, the answer is no , I mainly use this filter for sunrise and sunset because I am mainly shooting into the sun I have no need for an extra stop. These are great filters you won't be disappointed. Look up Bryan Peterson on youtube and he gives a good explanation on how to use this filter. Hope this helps.
