Overview

The Hoya EVO Antistatic 46mm UV filter brings Hoya's premium protection technology to lenses with a 46mm filter thread. Built with high-quality UV optical glass, it filters ultraviolet light to cut through atmospheric haze and deliver clearer, sharper images — particularly useful at higher altitudes or in bright, sun-filled conditions. Both glass surfaces receive Hoya's 16-layer Super Multi-Coating, which suppresses internal reflections, flare, and ghosting while allowing maximum light to pass through to the sensor.

The EVO series stands apart through its advanced surface treatments. The antistatic layer is the standout feature, actively repelling airborne dust and particles so the filter stays cleaner during shoots. A water-repellent coating causes moisture to bead and roll off, while the stain-resistant treatment makes fingerprints and oils easy to remove with a simple wipe. The scratch-resistant hardened outer layer provides confidence for everyday use, whether the filter stays permanently mounted or gets swapped frequently. All of this is housed in a low-profile aluminum frame designed to minimize vignetting, making it a practical choice for compact lenses where every millimeter of clearance counts.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which lenses use a 46mm filter thread?

The 46mm thread size is commonly found on compact mirrorless lenses, pancake lenses, and some smaller prime lenses. Check your lens cap or the front of your lens barrel for the filter size marking (often shown with a ⌀ symbol).

Does the Hoya EVO 46mm UV filter reduce image sharpness?

No. The 16-layer Super Multi-Coating is engineered to maintain optical clarity with minimal light loss, so the filter should have no visible effect on sharpness, contrast, or color rendition in your images.

How does the antistatic coating differ from a standard UV filter coating?

Standard UV filters may use basic coatings to reduce reflections, but the EVO's antistatic layer actively repels dust and particulates from settling on the glass surface. This means less cleaning and clearer glass between wipes compared to conventional filters.

Can I stack this filter with other filters like a polarizer or ND filter?

The low-profile frame is designed to reduce vignetting, which also helps when stacking. However, adding multiple filters increases the risk of vignetting on wider focal lengths, so test your specific lens and filter combination.

Is the filter frame easy to thread on and off?

The aluminum frame threads smoothly onto 46mm lenses. The low-profile design can make it slightly harder to grip by hand, so a filter wrench may be helpful if it's threaded on tightly.
