Frequently Asked Questions
Does this filter reduce the amount of light entering the lens?
No. The Hoya NXT Plus UV filter has a 1x filter factor, meaning it requires no exposure compensation. It transmits 98% of light, so there is virtually no impact on your exposure settings.
Will this filter cause vignetting on wide-angle lenses?
The slim, low-profile aluminum frame is specifically designed to minimize vignetting, making it suitable for use with wide-angle lenses at 46mm.
How does the waterproof top-coat work?
The hydrophobic coating on the front element repels water, oil, and fingerprints, allowing you to wipe the filter clean quickly with a microfiber cloth rather than needing cleaning solution.
Can I stack this filter with other filters like a polarizer or ND?
Yes. The slim frame and standard 46mm threading allow stacking, though adding multiple filters on wide-angle lenses may increase the risk of vignetting.
Does this filter only block UV light, or does it also reduce haze?
It does both. By absorbing ultraviolet wavelengths, it reduces the bluish cast and atmospheric haze that can appear in outdoor daylight photography, resulting in clearer images.
