Camera Filter Kit Hoya 43mm — UV and Circular Polarizer

The Hoya Filter Kit 2 for 43mm lenses includes a UV (C) HMC filter, a circular polarizer, an ND8 (0.9) neutral density filter and a carry pouch. The kit is intended for lenses with a 43mm filter thread and provides general lens protection, reduction of ultraviolet haze, control of reflections and the ability to reduce exposure by three stops for creative long-exposure effects.

Advantages

The slim-mount UV (C) HMC filter is multi-coated to reduce flare, ghosting and reflections while allowing over 97% light transmission; it serves as a clear protective filter and reduces ultraviolet haze without altering color or contrast. The circular polarizer cuts glare and reflections from non-metallic surfaces and increases saturation in skies and foliage. The ND8 (0.9) neutral density filter reduces incoming light by three stops without changing color balance, enabling longer exposures or wider apertures in bright conditions. The kit includes a pouch for safe storage and transport.

Suitable for

• Landscape photography to reduce haze and deepen skies
• Outdoor portrait and travel photography to control reflections
• Long-exposure photography using ND8 to achieve motion blur
• Everyday lens protection against dust, moisture and scratches

How to use

Screw the appropriate filter onto the front of a lens with a 43 mm thread. Use the UV (C) HMC filter as a protective clear filter or to reduce ultraviolet haze. Rotate the circular polarizer while viewing through the viewfinder or live view until reflections and glare are minimized and desired saturation is reached. Attach the ND8 (0.9) when you need to reduce exposure by three stops for longer shutter speeds or wider apertures in bright light. Remove or stack filters as needed, taking care to avoid cross-threading when attaching filters.

Usage recommendations

Leave the UV (C) HMC filter on as general protection for everyday shooting. Use the circular polarizer when shooting water, glass or foliage to reduce reflections and increase color saturation. Apply the ND8 for controlled long exposures; check exposure and white balance as ND filters reduce light but do not affect color balance.
