Overview

Frequently Asked Questions
What does the HMC multicoating do on this filter?
HMC stands for Hoya Multi-Coating. The multiple layers applied to both sides of the glass reduce reflections, flare, and ghosting, allowing more light to pass through cleanly compared to a single-coated or uncoated filter.
Will this slim-frame filter cause vignetting on wide-angle lenses?
The slim frame design is specifically engineered to minimize vignetting on wide-angle lenses. For most 82mm lenses, including moderate wide-angles, vignetting should not be an issue.
Can I leave this filter on my lens permanently for protection?
Yes, many photographers keep a UV filter on their lens at all times as a protective barrier against dust, moisture, fingerprints, and accidental scratches. The UV reduction also helps improve clarity in outdoor shooting.
Does this filter affect color or exposure?
No. The HMC UV(C) filter is designed to be optically neutral. It does not introduce a color cast or reduce exposure, so it can remain on the lens without affecting your images.
Does the slim frame accept a lens cap?
Yes, the slim frame has front threads that accept a standard 82mm lens cap, though it may not accept additional stacked filters due to the reduced frame height.
