Overview
Key Features
BLOCK UV & IR RAYS FOR SHARPER, CLEANER IMAGES – This UV/IR cut filter eliminates unwanted UV rays below 390nm and IR rays above 700nm, which digital sensors often can’t filter. Improve color accuracy and image clarity.
MULTI-COATED GLASS FOR CRISP, REFLECTION-FREE RESULTS – Engineered with Hoya’s premium multi-coated optical glass minimizes reflections, ghosting, and lens flare. Whether you're photographing outdoor scenes or filming under bright lights, enjoy better clarity, contrast, and color fidelity.
ENGINEERED FOR UNFILTERED CCD and CMOS SENSORS - This is important because unfiltered sensors are extremely susceptible to UV and IR rays just outside the visible spectrum that can have a very negative impact on image quality.
SCREW-IN DESIGN FOR EASY, SECURE ATTACHMENT – The precision-machined 82mm thread ensures a snug, hassle-free fit to your camera lens.
SLIM, LIGHTWEIGHT FRAME TO AVOID VIGNETTING – Built with a slim, durable aluminum frame, the UV/IR Cut filter prevents vignetting.

Pros & Cons
👍 Pros
- Effectively blocks both UV and IR contamination in a single filter, eliminating color casts and hotspots from unfiltered sensors.
- Hoya's premium multi-coated optical glass minimizes reflections, ghosting, and flare without reducing sharpness.
- Slim aluminum frame reduces the chance of vignetting on wide-angle lenses.
- Screw-in 82mm thread provides secure, hassle-free attachment and removal.
👎 Cons
- The 82mm size is one of the more expensive filter diameters, making this a pricier purchase than smaller sizes.
- Not necessary for most consumer cameras that already have built-in UV/IR filtering on the sensor.
- Multi-coating, while durable, can be more difficult to clean than uncoated glass if smudged.
- Does not provide any ND or polarizing effect, so additional filters may still be needed for exposure or glare control.
Frequently Asked Questions
What wavelengths does this filter block?
The Hoya UV IR Cut filter blocks ultraviolet rays below 390nm and infrared rays above 700nm, allowing only visible light to pass through to your sensor.
Is this filter designed for standard digital cameras or specifically for modified sensors?
This filter is primarily engineered for cameras with unfiltered or modified CCD and CMOS sensors, which lack the internal UV/IR blocking found in most consumer cameras. It can also benefit standard cameras in high-UV environments.
Will this filter cause vignetting on wide-angle lenses?
The slim aluminum frame is specifically designed to minimize vignetting, even when used with wide-angle lenses on the 82mm thread size.
Does the multi-coating affect light transmission?
Hoya's multi-coating is designed to maximize light transmission while reducing reflections, ghosting, and lens flare, so you lose virtually no usable light.
Can I stack this filter with other filters?
Yes, the screw-in design allows stacking, though adding multiple filters increases the risk of vignetting on wider focal lengths.
