Product Description

Hoya DMC PRO1 Digital Filters are specifically designed and engineered for Digital SLR Cameras. Digital Multi Coated (DMC) construction greatly reduces lens flare and ghosting. The Black Almite Frame (BAF) is a black matte finish aluminum frame that reduces reflections to enhance contrast. In addition, the Black Rimmed Glass (BRG) reduces light reflection around the filter edge. Low Profile Frame (LPF) is an Ultra thin frame which helps avoid vignetting on wide-angle lenses. The Knurled Edge Frame (KEF) aids easy attachment and removal. UV filter absorbs invisible ultraviolet rays which make outoor photographs hazy and indistinct and serves as a permanent lens protector.

This review is from: Hoya 72mm DMC PRO1 Digital Multi-Coated UV (Ultra Violet) Filter. (Electronics)

I always carry a protective UV filter on my lense and a couple weeks ago it finally paid off. One wrong move and the filter was hit and cracked but the lense is fine. So it does happen!

About the filter. Basically the filters are not the same and they should match the lense you use. Mine is Nikon 18-200mm and I can't see any noticeable difference with and without the filter, so I think it's a reasonable choice for that particular lense.

5.0 out of 5 stars Protect with PRO1 Digital Multi-Coated UV, January 9, 2007

Use this filter to always protect your Nikon 18-200 ED IF VR DX Lens. I always keep an UV filter attached to my lens to protect, protect and protect... You can easily replace the UV filter - you can't easily repair your lens which is more costly. Choose the "Digital" rated filters as they are manufactured to work best with your digital equipment. Hoya is one of those trusted brands.

It works well with my Nikon lens. The threads on the filter don't bind, and the Nikon lens cap and hood go on and off easily and fit securely with the filter in place.
