Product Description

Absorbs the ultraviolet rays which often makes outdoor photographs hazy and indistinct. A muliti-purpose fine-weather filter for color as well as black and white films. Also serves as a permanent lens protector. HMC (Hoya Multi-Coating) These popular filters are renowned for their ability to minimise reflection at the filter surfaces which reduces flare and ghosting. 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 multicoated lenses.

Great filter, good build, glass, multicoated, not overpriced. Everything a filter should be. I've bumped the edge of this filter against hard surfaces more than once and it has not bent the aluminum ring or damaged the lens it was attached to. Good product.

The Hoya is affordable and seems to be very good quality
This was the most affordable "multi-coated" filter I could find to protect my lens. The next time you're in a camera shop, do a visual comparison between a single and multi-coated filter.

My order with Amazon shipped fast and arrived in perfect condition

Here's an intersting discussion "Do I need multi-coated filters vs mono-coated?"

This is a really nice filter. It has a good weight and screws onto the lens without an issue. I use this on my 17-40 4L Canon lens with my 40D. Since it's a crop sensor I don't have any issues with this not being a "slim" filter. The only reason I wish I had spent a little more on the Pro model is that this filter is next to impossible to get completely clean. This is an issue I see with all non-pro filters though. I have to remove this filter for night shots because of the long exposure, but during normal use it doesn't matter if it's a little spotty.
