1. Hoya Digital Filter Kit II (UV, CIR-PL & ND8) Filterset

HOYA Digital Filter Kit II contains 3 main filters in one package, which are very commonly used in photography. Included in the set are: UV(C) FILTER A UV(C) filter is used to intercept UV light and is used for general lens protection. Made with a high quality UV cut and anti-reflective coating which has been applied to both sides. CIRCULAR POLARIZATION FILTER (CIR-PL) A circular polarization filter is a basic filter with polarization effect to eliminate unwanted reflections or improve contrast of sky and natural objects. NDX8 An ND (Neutral Density) 8 filter reduces the amount of light by 3 stops and is equivalent to 8 times slower shutter speed. By using this filter it is possible to achieve the effect of blurred movement of water or moving objects despite an open aperture. In addition, the ND8 filter is suitable for filming in bright environments with a fixed shutter speed and open aperture. Filter factor 8, transmissivity 12.5%, density 0.9 f/stop 3.

2. Hoya HD CIR-PL Filter

Light rays reflected from any surface can be polarized, so polarizing filters are used to select which light rays enter your camera lens. CIR-PL filters allow you to remove unwanted reflections from non-metallic surfaces such as water, glass, etc. They also allow colors to become more saturated and appear clearer and more contrasty. This effect is often used to increase contrast and saturation in blue skies and white clouds. HOYA's polarizing filters do not affect the overall color balance of a shot. The filter features a High Transparency & Highly Resistant UV absorbing coating, which provides 25% higher light transmission than standard polarizing filters. The ultra-thin frame is compatible with wide-angle lenses. The glass was assembled via high pressure molding technology. 

3. Hama O-Haze

Simply screw the filter onto the lens and even amateur photographers will be able to take clear, sharp pictures in top quality. Interfering UV rays are blocked and the sensitive lens is also protected from scratches. 

4. Rollei Premium ND Filter Set

For filter shots and long exposures, photographers prefer resistant and high-quality round filters, due to their compact design and the flexible application possibilities. They are also easier to transport, e.g. in a Rollei camera backpack. The new Rollei Premium Grey Filters are available individually or in practical sets like this one. The Rollei Premium ND Filter Set includes an ND8, an ND64 and an ND1000 filter. These three intensities are already excellent individually for a wide range of photographic challenges, but only open up almost infinite possibilities for you to implement your creative shooting ideas in the free combination.

The comparatively moderate ND8 round filter can be used to prevent slight overexposures, to gently smooth water surfaces or to create delicate wiping effects.

With the 6 stops of the ND64 round filter, you can realize even longer exposure times and transform waves into almost mirror-like surfaces and can already make unwanted people, vehicles or animals disappear from architectural photos.

With the strong ND1000 filter (10 stops) only less than 0.1 percent of the incident light reaches the sensor of your DSLR or DSLM camera. Use the ND1000 with an optical density of 3.0 for very demanding and elaborate long exposures, complex landscape and building shots or for particularly eye-catching wipe effects. All three filters together or in the required combination of two open the door to extreme filter photography.
 

5. Hoya HD Protector Filter

A Protector Filter is a popular addition to camera equipment as it protects the front element of the lens from scratches, dirt, water and other foreign objects. It can also make cleaning the lens easier, as you can simply remove the filter and clean it instead of the lens. The Hoya HD Protector Filter features Ultra Clear High Transparency Optical Glass, which is chemically enhanced and 4x stronger than regularly used protective glass. The HD coating consists of 16 layers on both sides, as well as an anti-reflective multi-coating. In addition, the filter is water and oil repellent, scratch and dirt resistant. The ultra-thin HD frame makes the filter more wide-angle lens compatible. The frame was mounted around the glass using a high-pressure molding technique. 

6. Hoya UX II UV Filter

The UX II UV filter with water-repellent coating is a new development of the HMC UV(C) filter, which is now integrated into the new standard class of the UX II series together with the UX II CIR-PL filter. The UX II UV filter is a completely redesigned product aimed at entry-level users, offering high quality standards with basic and contemporary features. Although UV rays are not visible to the naked eye, they can affect the image when shooting in places such as the ocean or mountains, resulting in blurred outlines or pale and whitish images. UV filters can suppress the UV spectrum contained in daylight that mainly causes bad effects on images. This filter can be used with both film and digital cameras for more vivid images. Besides, this filter serves as a daily lens protector when it remains permanently attached. 

7. Hoya Fusion Antistatic CIR-PL Filter

HOYA engineers have developed a new ANTISTATIC coating that acts like a force field around the filter to repel dust. In addition, the hardened anti-static topcoat is water repellent, stain and scratch resistant, and easy to clean if stains or fingerprints get on the surface. Circular polarizing filters allow photographers to achieve creative, in-camera effects that are not possible once the image is created. A polarizing filter filters unwanted reflections from non-metallic surfaces such as water or glass, as well as light that reflects moisture and contaminants in the atmosphere. By rotating the ultra-smooth filter, you can select just the right amount of filtering needed for the creative effect. The new professional anti-static filters in the "FUSION Antistatic" series are made in Japan from hand-selected silicates that are carefully melted and blended to create a high-performance optical glass. HOYA then applies extreme care and precision to apply the enhanced 18-layer Super Multi-Coating (both sides) formula, which greatly reduces or eliminates reflections on the glass surface and achieves very high light transmission rates.
