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

The Hoya HD Mk II 62 mm UV filter is a slim ultraviolet protection filter for camera lenses that reduces haze and the blue color cast from UV light while providing durable front-element protection against scratches, dust and minor impacts. It uses chemically reinforced optical glass and a low-profile metal frame to remain compatible with wide-angle lenses while adding a protective layer to the front element.

Advantages

The filter glass is chemically strengthened to be substantially harder than standard optical glass, providing improved resistance to breakage and scratches. A 16-layer high-transmittance multi-coating on both sides reduces reflections, repels water and oil, and makes the surface easier to clean. The low-profile frame is pressed to the glass with high-pressure technology for enhanced stability and minimal risk of vignetting on wide-angle lenses. The UV-cut property removes ultraviolet wavelengths without altering visible colors, helping to reduce haze and produce clearer, sharper images.

Suitable for

• Landscape photography to reduce atmospheric haze
• Outdoor and travel photography for lens protection
• Wide-angle lenses where minimal vignetting is required
• Situations with strong UV light or blue cast

How to use

Screw the Hoya HD Mk II 62 mm UV filter onto the front thread of a compatible 62 mm lens with gentle clockwise rotation until it is finger-tight; avoid over-tightening. Use the filter as a permanent protector on the lens or attach it only when shooting outdoors to prevent dust and scratches. Clean the coated glass with a soft microfiber cloth and, when needed, lens cleaning solution designed for coated optics to remove fingerprints and smudges.

Usage recommendations

For best results use the filter on lenses with a 62 mm thread and avoid stacking multiple thick filters to reduce the risk of vignetting. Store the filter in its case when not in use to preserve the coatings and maintain long-term protection for your lens.
