Product Description

Reduces the excessive bluishness that frequently occurs in outdoor color photography, especially in open shade under a clear, blue sky. The absorption peak is in the range which corresponds to the film's green spectrum. This means outstanding outdoor shots with superb color balance and clarity under all conditions. Also keeps skin tones free of colored reflections from nearby objects such as the shade of trees

2.0 out of 5 stars Hoya HMC Skylight1b Ultra Thin - IS NOT Ultra Thin - Not even thin, October 2, 2009

This is unfortunately not a ultra thin filter with a thin filter ring. This is just a regular Skylight 1b filter. This is totally misleading. I am surprised Adorama is doing it. Got mine and no difference from my existing one :( and no mention of thin or ultra-thin in the box of the filter or the filter itself.

This filter is excellent protection for your lenses. Ordered two and received one due to Amazon stepping on their crank. However that does not detract from the fact this is an excellent value and great filter for your lenses.
