Overview

The Hoya NXT Plus 77mm UV filter is engineered for photographers who want reliable, everyday lens protection without sacrificing image quality. At its foundation is Schott B270 glass, a high-clarity optical material that provides excellent light transmission and color neutrality. Layered on top is Hoya's 10-layer HMC (Hoya Multi-Coating) anti-reflective treatment, which pushes light transmission to 98% while dramatically reducing ghosting, flare, and internal reflections that can degrade images. The result is a filter that performs nearly as if it were not there at all.

Practical design details make this filter particularly well-suited for daily use. The waterproof top-coat repels fingerprints, dust, and moisture, simplifying cleaning in the field without the need for specialized solutions. The low-profile aluminum frame keeps weight to a minimum and is thin enough to avoid vignetting on wide-angle lenses, while still being compatible with lens hoods and other front-mounted accessories. As a UV filter, it absorbs ultraviolet light to reduce atmospheric haze in outdoor photography, but its primary value for most users is as a durable protective barrier that keeps dust, scratches, and minor impacts away from expensive lens elements.
