1. Hoya Fusion ONE Next CIR-PL Filter
The Hoya Fusion One Next series enhances the Hoya filter product line by merging all highly valued base specifications, such as multi-layer coating, ultra-high light transmission, premium optical glass, and a low-profile frame. New is a dirt and water-repellent coating that meets the new industry standards for photographic optical accessories. A polarizing filter eliminates unwanted reflections from non-metallic surfaces like water or glass, as well as light that reflects moisture and pollutants in the atmosphere. By rotating the ultra-smooth filter, you can select precisely the right amount of filtration needed for the desired creative effect. This results in a bluer sky, greener leaves, reduced or eliminated reflections, and increased clarity in the final image. The ultra-thin frame is compatible with wide-angle lenses and rotates ultra-smoothly due to precise craftsmanship.
2. Hoya Fusion Circular
Hoya engineers have developed a new anti-static coating that acts like a force field around the filter to repel dust. These filters are perfect for environments where dust is common, as they require less frequent cleaning and maintenance compared to traditional filters. Additionally, the hardened, anti-static top layer is water-repellent, stain- and scratch-resistant, and easy to clean when stains or fingerprints get on the surface.
With circular polarizing filters, photographers can achieve creative, in-camera effects that are no longer possible after the image is taken. A polarizing filter eliminates unwanted reflections from non-metallic surfaces such as water or glass, as well as light that reflects moisture and pollutants in the atmosphere. By rotating the ultra-smooth filter, you can select just the right amount of filtration needed for the creative effect. This results in a bluer sky, greener leaves, reduced or eliminated reflections, and increased clarity of the final image.
The new professional anti-static filters from the "Fusion Antistatic" series are made in Japan from carefully selected silicates that are meticulously melted and mixed to create high-performance optical glass. Hoya then applies the utmost care and precision to coat the enhanced 18-layer Super Multi-Coating (on both sides) formula, which significantly reduces or eliminates reflections on the glass surface and achieves very high light transmission rates. This means that the filter has virtually no impact on the color balance, contrast, or clarity of the final image beyond its polarizing effect.
The filters feature a lightweight, two-part, very flat aluminum frame to hold the glass. The low-profile frame prevents vignetting when used on ultra-wide-angle lenses.
3. Hoya Uv Hmc
The ultraviolet filter absorbs the ultraviolet light rays that often make outdoor shots appear blurry and dull. It is a universal filter for both colour and black and white film in good weather. The UV filter can also be used as a "perpetual" lens protection in front of the lens. HMC (Hoya Multilayer Coating). This popular multi-coated filter is known for the fact that the reflections on its glass surface are extremely weak, which suppresses stray light and ghost images even more. An average transmission of over 97% is achieved, resulting in high brilliance and balanced color neutrality. The HMC filter from Hoya is recommended to take full advantage of the high performance of modern multi-coated lenses.
4. Hoya Pro ND100 Filter
The Hoya ND 1000 reduces light by an equivalent of 6 2/3 stops. For video content creators, ND filters are very helpful in adjusting shutter speeds to match frame rates while maintaining the depth of field of the footage. Hoya offers an exclusive and wide range of ND filters embedded in the PROND series for both photographers and filmmakers. PROND filters utilize Hoya's clear optical glass, which is mounted in a lightweight, precisely crafted aluminum frame. The frame features a front filter thread, allowing you to attach additional filters or a lens cap. Thanks to the leading ACCU-ND technology, the image is not negatively affected by color shifts that can occur due to inferior materials, low quality control during manufacturing, or issues with the infrared range of the light spectrum. With Hoya's exclusive ACCU-ND technology, a uniform reduction of light in the visible and IR spectrum is achieved.
5. Hoya Fusion ONE Next Protector Filter
The Hoya Fusion One Next Series enhances the Hoya filter product line by merging all highly regarded base specifications, such as multi-layer coating, ultra-high light transmission, premium optical glass, and a low-profile frame. A new dirt and water-repellent coating has been integrated to meet the new industry standards for photographic optical accessories. It is recommended for both amateur and professional photographers. The Protector Filter is a popular addition to camera equipment as it protects the front element of the lens from scratches, dirt, water, and other foreign objects. The 18-layer anti-reflective multi-coating is water and oil repellent, as well as scratch and dirt resistant. The ultra-thin frame is compatible with wide-angle lenses.
6. Hoya UV-IR
The Hoya UV&IR Cut is a special filter that cuts off UV rays below 390 nm and IR rays above 700 nm, allowing only the light rays in the visible spectrum to pass through the filter and into the camera.
This filter is used with digital and video cameras that do not have an IR protection filter in front of the image sensor or have been modified.
This is important because unfiltered CCD and CMOS sensors are extremely sensitive to UV and IR rays just outside the visible spectrum, which can negatively impact image quality.
Please note: The UV-IR Cut filter is intended for use with digital single-lens reflex cameras and film cameras that do not have an IR filter installed in front of the sensor. Color balance effects may occur when this filter is used with cameras that have an IR filter installed in front of the sensor. Please consult your camera's user manual before use.
7. Hoya Fusion ONE Next UV Filter
The Fusion One Next UV features an 18-layer anti-reflective coating on both sides of the filter glass, which ensures extremely high light transmission and reduces the likelihood of reflections caused by the filter. The coating also has dirt and water-repellent properties that protect the filter glass from fingerprints and stains, allowing for quick and easy cleaning. The glass of the Fusion One Next UV is made from Hoya's professional optical UV glass for the highest image quality and a sharp UV cut.
8. Hoya Sq100 77mm-86mm adapter ring
The HOYA Sq100 Holder Kit essentially includes two gear adapters that allow the holder to be attached to lenses with a front lens diameter of 86 mm or 82 mm. For other smaller lens sizes, adapter rings are available to attach the holder to the corresponding size.
9. Hoya PRO ND EX 8 Filter
The Hoya ND 8 reduces light by an equivalent of 3 stops.
Neutral density filters (ND filters) are among the most sought-after and important types of photographic filters for several reasons. For photographers, ND filters provide precise control over the amount of light entering the lens, allowing for greater creative control over exposure. For video content creators, ND filters are very helpful in setting shutter speeds to match frame rates while maintaining the depth of field of the footage.
Hoya offers a unique and extensive range of ND filters embedded in the PROND series for both photographers and filmmakers. PROND filters utilize Hoya's clear optical glass, mounted in a lightweight, precisely crafted aluminum frame. The frame features a front filter thread, allowing you to attach additional filters or a lens cap.
Thanks to the leading ACCU-ND technology, the image is not negatively affected by color shifts that can occur due to inferior materials, poor quality control during manufacturing, or issues with the infrared range of the light spectrum. With Hoya's exclusive ACCU-ND technology, a uniform reduction of light in the visible and IR spectrum is achieved. As a result, photographers need not worry about color shifts when using Hoya ND filters under various shooting conditions.
10. Hoya NDX 8 HMC 55
Neutral Gray Filter ND X 8:
- Exposure time extension or aperture opening: by 3 stops
- Apparent sensitivity change: reduction, e.g., from ISO 800/30° to ISO 100/21°
- HMC (Hoya Multi Coated): The multi-coated filters are known for their extremely low reflections on their glass surfaces, which further suppresses stray light and ghosting.
- Filter diameter: 55 mm
Neutral gray filters are often overlooked by many photographers, but they can be very useful in certain situations and produce results that would otherwise be impossible. ND filters (Neutral Density) appear gray and reduce the amount of light reaching the film without affecting color balance. There are four main applications for them:
1. They allow for long exposure times even with higher sensitivity films to capture motion, such as in waterfalls and streams, fountains, clouds, or moving cars.
2. They enable larger apertures for shallower depth of field, which helps to distinctly separate a subject, such as a portrait, from its background.
3. They act as if the film sensitivity has been lowered, allowing even high-sensitivity films (i.e., above ISO 400/27°) to be used in bright daylight.
4. They enable correct exposures in bright environments like snow and sandy beaches or under extremely bright lighting with film and video cameras that have non-adjustable shutter speeds, preventing overexposure.
