UV Filters are usually most people buy just mainly to protect the lens, so am I. I never picky about UV or NC filters, so I settled all my filters on Hoya (reason is I bought few of the Hoya special filters such as Circular Polarizer, and Star-8) and I used to love Hoya filters until a month ago.

I got myself a 2nd hand Nikkor 105mm VR Macro F2.8, the previous owner sold it to me together with the Nikon 62mm NC Filter attached. I was amazed by the clarity the Nikon NC Filter was. You can test it out by simply putting the filters on top of a piece of white paper to check the clarity. Hoya UV had a slight yellowish, else Nikon is clearly a winner.

I threw my Hoya 77mm UV and got myself this Nikon 77mm NC filter. My 17-55mm F2.8 never been so good before.

The build quality and clear (non-tinted), visibly neutral color of the Nikon NC filters remind me of the Heliopan Slim Version filters I own.

The Nikon NC is *not* a UV filter, but digital sensors are not sensitive to UV light. A UV filter is not needed. From a functional standpoint the Nikon NC performs the same as a UV filter.

I am very pleased with the purchase and would not hesitate to recommend them to friends and others.

I have been shooting for over 30 years. During college my professors drilled the need for a UV filter to protect your lens. I had been very faithful to that rule.

My wife, a professional photographer, never used a protecting filter.

I was having problems getting a shot of a purple flower. It kept shooting blue. I took off the UV filter and it shot the flower purple.

UV filters are not just an issue with flowers. Many dyes have UV reflecting components, that I was not able to capture.

I now purchase clear filters to protect the lens. I do not see any discoloration on the glass or my photographs.
