The HOYA HMC UV (C) filter uses the highest quality heat-resistant tempered glass to cut out all range of UV rays, resulting in a smooth, clear image with astounding sharpness and clarity. Also, there is minimal effect on colour balance. This filter also minimises reflection on the surface, thereby reducing flare and ghosting. Engineered to enhance the performance of today’s multi-coated lenses, the HOYA HMC filters have an average light transmission of over 97%.
