This review is from: HOYA FILTER PRO1 Digital UV(0) 62mm 040176multicoated uv filters are strange things to use with digital cameras. they dramatically influence the auto white-balance result.the good thing about this filter is that it doesn't have a huge effect on AWB. The bad thing is that it doesn't seem to do a whole lot to cut haze. It's optically clear,for the most part, and definitely protects the lens, so you have to balance the price against those benefits. But it's not bad. I switched back to my Promaster mc UV filter because it adds a little less yellow-tint to the images, and then I found out that Hoya makes the Promaster filters, they are just rebadged Hoya filters. The two are practically the same.Of course Promaster sells a much more expensive version of mc uv filter and likewise b+w does as well. What ever you get be sure to shoot some test shots of a bright blue sky with light white clouds with it on and off to see the effect clearly, also note the effect of changing the exposure....
This review is from: HOYA FILTER PRO1 Digital UV(0) 62mm 040176I basically use a UV filter as a lens protector. You can buy filters for a small fraction of the price of this filter, but any filter, even this filter, will degrade image quality. Without doing any scientific testing, I'm convinced that the extra cost of the multicoating results in less degradation to the image. If I'm going to pay hundreds of dollars for exceptional lenses, I don't want to save a few dollars and mount filters of inferior quality in front of them....
This review is from: HOYA FILTER PRO1 Digital UV(0) 62mm 040176It works just fine. I have also been purchasing PROMASTER brand filters that seem to work as good and they are alot easier on the wallet....
