The Hoya UX UV filter is equipped with a 10-layer anti-reflective and HMC-WR coating (water-repellent). It is a redesign of the previous HMC UV(C) model and sits in the new UX Essential series, alongside the slim UX CIR-PL filter. The UX series is a design concept aimed at users who want to improve their photography. It offers HOYA famous quality, at reasonable prices, with basic and modern features. UX in the series name stands for User eXperience , inspired by the unforgettable experiences that users collect through the use of these filters. With the name of this series UX, HOYA aims to offer users better individual experiences through all the activities associated with their photography. Although invisible to the naked eye, UV light rays are visible to camera sensors and film. They can negatively affect the image when shooting in places such as coasts, landscapes or mountainous environments, resulting in blurred contours or faded and whitish images. UV filters are able to suppress the UV spectrum contained in daylight, which causes a bad effect on images. This filter can be used with both film and digital cameras and delivers more vivid images. In addition, this filter serves as an everyday lens protection by keeping it constantly attached to the lens. Hoya UX filters use a flat aluminum frame that avoids vignetting when used with wide angle lenses.
