Technical Details

  • As many of us are aware, the sunlit sky fills our atmosphere with all sorts of radiation (we know that UV [Ultraviolet] and IR [Infra-Red]may cause sunburn), the human eye does not have the ability to distinguish these levels of light
  • Film, however, is sensitive to several of these and they can effect the resulting photo
  • For the most part, UV rays may appear as a bluish haze
  • This filter is designed to help eliminate most of these skylight rays to help assure clearer and sharper images
  • Fits lenses with 72mm filter threads

Product Description

Product Description

SKYLIGHT 1B 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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great filter, June 6, 2008
By K. Macmillan "kmac" (Westminster, CO) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is another high quality filter by Hoya. Besides filtering out UV light, a Skylight filter can also counter the excessive blue color of sky in a sunny day and produce a warmer tone. This filter can also be left on permanently for use as lens protection.

1.0 out of 5 stars skylite or ND filter?, August 13, 2008
When I got it I looked through it and i thought I was imagining something-it looked kinda dark. Sure enough, i put it on the camera and it was a 1/2 stop darker than without it. geesh. I bought to protect lens.

try a uv filter or one of those expensive Ultra Clear filters. good luck
