NXT Plus 55mm 10-Layer HMC Multi-Coated UV Lens Filter, Low-Profile Aluminum Frame - With Hoya NXT Plus 55mm

Become a master of capturing pristine images with the NXT Plus 55mm 10-Layer HMC Multi-Coated UV Lens Filter. This advanced lens filter, a significant upgrade to Hoya's best-selling NXT series, offers superior protection for your lens against scratches, rain, dirt, and dust, acting as a robust first line of defense. Crafted with Schott B270 glass, the NXT Plus UV lens filter features a waterproof top coat that's polished smooth for effortless cleaning. Whether it's dirt, smudges, or water, they all wipe away easily, ensuring your lens remains clean and clear for optimal image capture. The lens filter employs 10 layers of Hoya's patented anti-reflection (AR) multi-coatings, which significantly enhance your images by improving contrast, color, and sharpness. With a 98% light transmission, this filter can be left on your lens at all times without negatively impacting your images. The NXT Plus filter frames are precision-milled from lightweight aluminum, resulting in a slim profile that's compatible with all lenses, including super wide-angles. The frame features full front filter threads that can accommodate a standard lens cap or allow for the stacking of additional filters like a circular polarizer or neutral density. Beyond lens protection, the UV lens filter plays a critical role in filtering through UV Haze. While this may not be a significant issue at sea-level, as you ascend to higher altitudes, the filter effectively cuts through the haze to enhance contrast and improve color. The NXT Plus boasts a UV Cut Point of 360nm or L36, which is superior to most filters in this price range. In conclusion, the NXT Plus 55mm 10-Layer HMC Multi-Coated UV Lens Filter is an essential tool for photographers seeking to protect their lenses and enhance their photography results.
