Hoya - 67mm HRT Circular Polarizer Glass Filter

Before you capture your next outdoor photography masterpiece, consider the 67mm HRT Circular Polarizer Glass Filter by HOYA. This advanced filter employs a newly developed High-Rate Transparency (HRT) film, designed to allow more visible light to pass through the filter while maintaining the same level of polarized light filtration. The HOYA HRT circular polarizer filter stands out in its category by transmitting up to 25% more light through the polarizing film. This gives photographers an advantage of about 1/3 stop more light compared to a standard circular polarizer, enhancing the quality and clarity of their shots. Notably, the same polarizing film used in this filter is also utilized in the latest HD LCD TVs, a testament to its superior quality and performance. The glass of the HOYA HRT filter is not just a polarizer; it also boasts UV absorbing properties. This makes the HRT a dual-purpose tool, serving as both a UV and circular polarizing filter. The most common application for a circular polarizer filter is to darken bright blue skies in outdoor photography. However, its versatility extends beyond that. It can also reduce or eliminate reflections from non-metallic surfaces such as glass and water, adding depth and detail to your images. The filter's functionality is further enhanced by its rotating outer ring. By simply turning this ring, photographers can observe the change of effect either by looking through the filter or through the viewfinder when it's mounted on a camera. HOYA, the world's largest optical glass manufacturer, produces glass to spec for almost every camera and lens manufacturer. As the world's largest filter manufacturer, HOYA consistently delivers high-quality, precision-engineered products to photographers around the globe. The 67mm HRT Circular Polarizer Glass Filter is no exception, offering superior performance for professional and amateur photographers alike.
