Hoya HD3 UV Lightweight Low-Profile Lens Protector Filter with Ultra-Hard Nano Coating (72mm)

The Hoya HD3 UV 72mm Lens Protector Filter works with a 100MP plus camera sensor without loss of resolution. Utilizing a new patented HMC Nano-coating process that applies 32 layers of anti-reflective coating to its optical ultra-violet (UV) glass, Hoya created a filter that is 5x sharper and a coating that is 800 percent harder than the award-winning HD2 UV filter.
Resistant to Scratch and Stain
The HD3 filter yields a light transmission rate of 99.7 percent and uses the same chemically enhanced 4x harder optical UV glass that made the HD2 filters 'The Toughest Filters on the Planet'. The new coating process created a top layer that is more scratch and stain-resistant, and water and oil-repellant, making it easy to clean when smudges and fingerprints are introduced to the surface.
Filters UV Rays
The filter’s UV properties filter unwanted ultraviolet rays, reducing haze and increasing clarity. This means the filter faithfully maintains the sharpness and clarity of the original lens while protecting it from everyday wear and tear and extreme shooting conditions.
Low-Profile Design
The HD3 glass is housed in a one-piece, lightweight, low-profile, aircraft-grade aluminum filter frame. This one-piece design allows the filter to maintain precise parallel alignment to the sensor plane for maximum sharpness and zero distortion. The low-profile design eliminates the concern for vignetting when used on ultra-wide angle lenses, and the front filter threads accept lens caps and other filters for stacking.
Crafted with Micro-Precision
The HD3 UV professional filter is manufactured with micro-precision under the strictest quality control to ensure each and every filter meets the demands of working professional photographers and their equipment.
