Hoya HD MkII Circular Polarizer Filter 62mm

The Hoya HD MkII Circular Polarizer (CIR-PL) filter is a premium optical accessory designed for photographers who demand superior image quality and durability. With a 62mm diameter, this filter effectively reduces glare and reflections from non-metallic surfaces such as water and glass, while enhancing color saturation and contrast for vibrant, true-to-life images. The HD MkII series features high-transparency optical glass with 16 layers of multi-coating (8 per side) that provide anti-reflective, water-repellent, stain-resistant, and scratch-resistant properties, ensuring optimal performance in challenging conditions.

Advantages

This circular polarizer filter offers several key benefits for photographers. It eliminates unwanted reflections and glare, allowing you to capture clear, detailed images of landscapes, water, and sky. By enhancing color saturation and contrast, it produces richer, more vivid photos without the need for post-processing. The ultra-thin, low-profile aluminum frame minimizes vignetting, even on wide-angle lenses, and the advanced coatings protect the glass from dust, moisture, and scratches, ensuring long-lasting performance.

Suitable for

• Landscape photography to deepen blue skies and reduce haze
