Hoya 49mm NXT Plus Circular Polarizer Filter

It's undeniable that a Circular Polarizer is an essential tool for every photographer, and the Hoya NXT Plus takes this indispensable accessory to the next level. This advanced upgrade to the popular NXT series features a waterproof top-coat applied to Hoya's polished smooth "Clear" glass, ensuring effortless cleaning. Whether it's dirt, smudges, or water, they all wipe away with ease, maintaining the pristine condition of your filter.

The NXT Plus 49mm 10-Layer HMC Multi-Coated Circular Polarizer Lens Filter boasts 10 layers of Hoya's patented anti-reflection (AR) multi-coatings. This innovative technology enhances your images by improving contrast, color, and sharpness, delivering professional-grade photography results. The polarizing film is optically thin, with a filter factor of 1.72, facilitating faster AF and improved viewing over standard PL films.

Hoya's high-quality polarized glass is securely mounted into a precision-milled, low-profile aluminum frame. This design not only makes it lightweight but also ensures it's an ideal companion for your wide-angle lenses. Despite its slim profile, the filter includes front filter threads, allowing you to attach additional filters or your protective lens cap.

But what does a Polarizer do? Simply put, Polarizers eliminate reflections, acting as sunglasses for your lenses. By removing reflections, the true color, texture, and detail beneath are revealed. This means greener leaves, bluer skies, and the hidden beauty of the rocks at the bottom of a secluded mountain lake are all brought to life. Circular Polarizers are also excellent for removing reflections from car windows, painted surfaces, or virtually any non-metallic surface.

Using the Hoya NXT Plus is a breeze. Once attached to your lens, simply rotate the outer ring of the filter while looking through your viewfinder or LCD screen until you achieve the desired level of reflection control. When the colors and detail look just right, capture the perfect shot. Whether the lighting conditions offer a dramatic or subtle effect, the Hoya NXT Plus 49mm 10-Layer HMC Multi-Coated Circular Polarizer Lens Filter is always ready to enhance your photography experience.
