Hoya 58mm NXT Plus Circular Polarizer Slim Frame Glass Filter

Remove unwanted reflections and boost color saturation.

The Hoya NXT Plus Circular Polarizer Slim Frame Glass Filter allows the photographer to remove unwanted reflections from non-metallic surfaces such as water, glass, etc. A circular polarizer is a must-have filter for every photographer and Hoya's NXT Plus is a powerful upgrade to the best-selling NXT series.

This filter applies a waterproof top coat to Hoya's polished smooth "clear" glass for maximum sharpness. There are two advantages to having a premium waterproof coating: (1) Water beads-up quickly, and easily slides off the surface of the filter for streak-free shooting. (2) It also makes the filter a lot easier to clean when dirt, water and smudges make their way onto the surface.

Hoya applies 10 layers of patented anti-reflection (AR) HMC multi-coatings for improved contrast and color. The polarizing film is optical thin with a filter factor of 1.72 for faster AF and improved viewing over standard PL films. The knurled edges on the front of the filter make it easy to operate when attached to the lens. It also makes it easy to remove when it is no longer needed.

The NXT Plus CPL filter frames are precision-milled aluminum slim frame, making it lightweight and perfect for your super wide-angle lenses. Despite the slim profile, the filter includes front filter threads so you can attach additional filters or your protective lens cap.

What does a Polarizer do?
Polarizers do one thing: remove reflections. Think sunglasses for your lenses. By removing reflections, you reveal the color, texture and detail beneath. So, leaves are greener, skies are bluer, and the beautiful rocks at the bottom of that secret mountain lake are revealed.

Circular polarizers are also great for removing reflections from windows, painted surfaces, or just about any non-metallic surface. Depending on the lighting conditions, the effect can be dramatic or subtle, but it never hurts to pop it on and give it a try.

Circular polarizers are easy to use too. 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 right amount of reflection control. When the colors and detail look right, take the picture.
