Hoya Fusion Antistatic Circular Polarizing Filter (86mm)

Built to perform in environments where dust is prone, the Hoya Fusion Antistatic Circular Polarizing Filter is built to withstand these situations thanks to its Antistatic coating that makes the filter stain proof, scratch resistant, and water repellent. In addition, these filters are made of professional-grade optical glass offering an easier wiping, and provide protection against everyday wear. The ultra-smooth filter rotation will let you select the right amount of filtration needed to achieve a creative effect. Two-piece, very low-profile filter frame with front filter threads eliminate vignetting when used on ultra-wide-angle lenses.  Most importantly, Fusion Antistatic Circular Polarizing Filters require less frequent cleaning and maintenance not like any other traditional filters. 

Product Features in Detail

ANTISTATIC coating
Hoya engineers have developed a new ANTISTATIC coating that acts like a force field around the filter to repel dust. Perfect for environments where dust is common, these filters require less frequent cleaning and maintenance than traditional filters. Additionally, the hardened, antistatic top-layer is water repellent, stain and scratch resistant, and cleans easily when smudges or fingerprints are introduced to the surface. 

Greater Clarity
Circular polarizing filters allow photographers to achieve creative, in-camera, effects not possible after the image is created. A polarizing filter simply filters out unwanted reflections from non-metallic surfaces such as water and glass in addition to light reflecting off moisture and pollution in the atmosphere. By rotating ultra-smooth filter you can select just the right amount of filtration needed to achieve the creative effect. This results in bluer skies, greener leaves, reduced or eliminated reflections, and greater clarity in your final image. 

High Performance Optical Glass
The new FUSION Antistatic professional filters are made in Japan using hand selected silicates that are carefully smelted and blended to yield high performance optical glass. Hoya then uses extreme care and precision to apply the Improved 9-layer Super Multi-coating formula which greatly reduces or eliminates reflections on the surface of the glass and yields very high light transmission rates. This means the filter has virtually no effect on the color balance, contrast, or clarity of the final image beyond its polarizing effects. 

Very Low-Profile Aluminum Frame
The filters features a lightweight, two-piece, very low-profile aluminum frame to house the glass. The low-profile frame eliminates vignetting when used on ultra-wide-angle lenses.
