UV Filter Hoya HMC UV (C) 52mm

The Hoya HMC UV (C) 52mm filter absorbs ultraviolet light that can cause outdoor photographs to appear hazy or lack contrast. It functions as a multi-purpose fine-weather filter suitable for both color and black-and-white film photography and also serves as a permanent protector for your lens. The filter features a multi-coated surface to reduce reflections and flare, and a black frame designed to minimize light leakage and improve durability.

Advantages

The multi-coated HMC (Hoya Multi Coated) surface reduces unwanted reflections and ghosting, improving image clarity. The filter blocks UV wavelengths that soften distant details, helping to maintain contrast in outdoor scenes. Its slim black metal frame reduces the risk of vignetting on wide-angle lenses while providing durable protection for the front element of the lens.

Suitable for

• Outdoor landscape photography
• Travel and street photography where lens protection is needed
• Color and black-and-white film shooting
• Use on lenses with a 52mm filter thread

Clean the filter glass with a microfiber cloth and appropriate lens-cleaning solution to maintain optical performance.

Usage recommendations

For best results, combine the Hoya HMC UV (C) 52mm filter with regular lens maintenance and avoid touching the glass surface with bare fingers. Remove the filter only when using specialized filters or accessories that require direct lens access.
