Pros & Cons

👍 Pros

  • The Super Multi-Coated (SMC) characteristic helps to reduce reflections and ghosting for clearer images.
  • This filter offers water and stain resistance, which aids in maintaining lens cleanliness during use.

👎 Cons

  • Being a clear protector filter, it does not offer any creative effects like polarization or neutral density.
  • The 67mm size limits its direct use to lenses with a matching 67mm filter thread, requiring step-up or step-down rings for other sizes.
  • While it protects against impact, it is not indestructible and severe forces could still damage the lens or filter.
  • The "Made In Japan" and "Hoya US Warranty" features are about origin and support, not direct functional advantages of the filter itself.
  • Some users might prefer a filter with additional light-modifying properties alongside protection.
