Ultraviolet (UV) camera filter Hoya HD Mk II 62 mm Black

The Hoya HD Mk II 62 mm UV filter protects the front element of your camera lens from scratches, dirt and impacts while also reducing ultraviolet light that can produce haze and a blue color cast. Constructed from chemically reinforced optical glass and fitted in a slim black frame, this filter is compatible with lenses that accept 62 mm thread size and is intended for photographers who require durable, high-quality protection without altering visible colors.

Advantages

The HD Mk II UV uses chemically strengthened glass that is four times tougher than ordinary optical glass, providing superior mechanical protection. A 16-layer high-transmittance anti-reflective coating on both sides minimizes reflections and increases light transmission, and its water- and oil-repellent, stain-resistant surface makes cleaning simple. The glass is mounted to an ultra-thin, low-profile frame using high-pressure press technology to improve stability while reducing the risk of vignetting on wide-angle lenses.

Suitable for

• Protecting front lens elements on cameras with 62 mm filter threads
• Outdoor and travel photography where lenses face dust, moisture, or impacts
• Scenes susceptible to UV-induced haze or blue cast (high-altitude, seaside, snow)
• Photographers seeking long-lasting protection without color shifts

How to use

Screw the filter onto the lens front by aligning the 62 mm threads and turning clockwise until secure; avoid overtightening. Use the filter like a permanent protector during shooting — it can remain attached when changing lenses if desired. For cleaning, first remove loose dust with a blower or soft brush, then wipe gently with a microfiber cloth or lens tissue using minimal cleaning solution if needed. Store the filter in its case when not in use.

Usage recommendations

The HD Mk II UV is recommended for advanced and professional photographers who need robust, long-lasting protection for expensive lenses and wish to reduce UV-related haze without affecting visible colors. For maximum optical performance, keep the multi-coated surfaces clean and avoid stacking multiple filters which can increase reflections and vignetting.
