Hoya HMC UV Circular Polarizer ND8 Digital Filter Kit of 3 with Pouch - Perfect for DSLR, Mirrorless Cameras & Photography Enthusiasts

The Hoya HMC UV Circular Polarizer ND8 Digital Filter Kit is designed for digital cameras, offering a UV (C) HMC filter, a circular polarizer, a 3-stop neutral density filter, and a pouch for convenience. The slim mount of the UV filter prevents vignetting on wide-angle lenses, and the clear filter absorbs UV light without altering color or contrast. The Hoya HMC filters are multi-coated for 97% light transmission, reduced flare and ghosting, and enhanced contrast and color fidelity. Alongside these benefits, the filters protect your lens element from dust, scratches, and accidental drops.

A polarizing filter reduces reflections & glare by blocking out light that has become polarized from reflecting off non-metallic surfaces. Sunlight is partially polarized by air molecules, causing haze. A polarizer arranges, then filters, this light perpendicularly so much of it is absorbed, lowering reflections & glare and increasing the saturation of skies & foliage. Circular polarizers have a quarter wave plane that circularly polarizes the linearly polarized light, enabling auto-focus & exposure accuracy.

This Hoya HMC UV Circular Polarizer ND8 Digital Filter Kit of 3 w/Pouch provides a filter factor of 0.9, which translates to blocking out 3 stops of light. A neutral density filter is a gray filter that decreases the amount of light entering the camera without changing the color balance of the image. It has a variety of purposes, allowing photographers to pursue unique, creative effects.
