Hoya Fusion Antistatic UV Filter (86mm)

Enough of those unwanted ultraviolet rays that passes thru our lenses; it is time to protect yourself with the Hoya Fusion Antistatic UV Filter. Ultraviolet rays are absorbed by this filter that often makes outdoor photography indistinct and hazy. Like all other Fusion Antistatic filters from Hoya, it is made with Ultra Clear High Transmission rate and Antistatic Coating, mounted in a one-piece, very low-profile filter frame with front filter threads to maintain the right parallel alignment to the sensor plane while eliminating vignetting whenever ultra-wide-angle lenses are used. The Fusion Antistatic UV filter minimises impact on your lens with its improved 9-layer Super Multi-coating and professional-grade optical glass making it water repellent, stain proof, and scratch resistant. 

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. The filter’s UV properties filter unwanted ultra-violet rays, reducing haze and increasing clarity. 

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 a ultra clear high transmission rate. This means the filter has virtually no effect on the color balance, contrast, or clarity of the final image. 

Very Low-Profile Aluminum Frame
The filters features a lightweight, one-piece, low-profile aluminum frame to house the glass. This one-piece design allows the filter to maintain perfect parallel alignment to the sensor plane for maximum sharpness, while the low-profile form eliminates vignetting when used on ultra-wide-angle lenses.
