Hoya YHDUV077 77mm HD UV Filter Multi-Coated

The Hoya YHDUV077 77mm HD UV Filter is built for photographers who want dependable lens protection without compromising image quality. At its core is hardened optical glass that delivers four times the breaking strength of standard filter glass, providing a resilient shield against impacts, scratches, and everyday wear that could damage an unprotected front lens element. The UV filtering properties also serve a practical purpose, cutting through atmospheric haze to deliver cleaner, more contrasty images — particularly useful when shooting landscapes or at high altitudes where UV light is more pronounced.

What sets the HD series apart from Hoya's standard filters is the 8-layer waterproof multi-coating applied to both sides of the glass. This coating dramatically reduces reflections and ghosting while repelling water, oil, and fingerprints, keeping the filter surface cleaner for longer and making field cleaning quick and hassle-free. The result is a filter that transmits light with exceptional efficiency, adding virtually no color cast or softness to your images. For photographers who keep a UV filter permanently mounted for lens protection, the Hoya HD UV is an excellent choice that delivers genuine optical performance alongside its protective role.
