Pros & Cons
👍 Pros
- 10-layer HMC anti-reflective coating delivers 98% light transmission with minimal ghosting or flare
- Schott B270 optical glass provides excellent clarity and natural color accuracy
- Hydrophobic top coating repels water, fingerprints, and dust for easy field maintenance
- Low-profile aluminum frame prevents vignetting and remains compatible with lens hoods and caps
👎 Cons
- Not as scratch-resistant as Hoya's higher-tier HD or HD Nano filters, which use hardened glass
- The UV filtering effect is minimal on modern digital sensors that already have built-in UV/IR cut filters
- Aluminum frame threads can bind if cross-threaded, requiring care during installation
Frequently Asked Questions
Does this filter noticeably affect image quality or color?
No. With 98% light transmission and a 1x filter factor, the NXT Plus UV passes light with virtually no color shift or exposure change. It is designed to be optically transparent while still blocking ultraviolet wavelengths.
How does the hydrophobic top coating work?
The waterproof top layer causes water, oils, and dust to bead up and roll off the filter surface rather than adhering to it. This makes cleaning faster and reduces smearing, which is especially useful during outdoor shoots.
Will this filter cause vignetting on wide-angle lenses?
The low-profile aluminum frame is designed to minimize vignetting. On most 58mm lenses, including moderate wide-angle focal lengths, vignetting is not an issue. Extreme ultra-wide lenses are uncommon at this thread size.
Can I use this filter as permanent lens protection?
Yes, that is one of its primary use cases. The Schott B270 glass and slim frame are designed for everyday use, protecting your front element from dust, scratches, and minor impacts without degrading image quality.
What is the difference between the NXT Plus and Hoya's HD or HD Nano lines?
The NXT Plus uses Schott B270 glass with 10-layer HMC coatings, offering a strong balance of optical quality and value. The HD and HD Nano lines use hardened glass with additional coating layers for even greater scratch resistance and transmission, at a higher price point.
