Hoya Y5KF82A052 52mm Color Filter HMC 82A Lens

The Hoya 52mm HMC 82A is a color conversion filter designed to subtly cool the color temperature of light entering your lens. The 82A designation indicates a light blue filter that counteracts warm color casts, making it particularly useful when shooting under tungsten lighting or during golden hour when you want to maintain neutral tones. By correcting color at the optical level, the filter allows photographers to get closer to their desired result straight out of the camera, which can streamline workflows for JPEG shooters or those who prefer minimal post-processing.

Hoya's HMC (Hoya Multi-Coating) treatment is applied to both surfaces of the filter glass, reducing internal reflections that cause flare and ghosting while maximizing light transmission. This means the filter has minimal impact on image sharpness and contrast, an important consideration for photographers who want color correction without optical compromise. The 52mm thread size fits a wide range of lenses, and the filter's slim profile helps avoid vignetting at standard and telephoto focal lengths.
