Digital camera reviews of Hoya 72mm DMC PRO1 Digital Multi-Coated UV (Ultra Violet) Filter.
Digital camera Review: Hoya Digital Filter
Summary: 4 Stars
It seems like a good overall filter so far, however, it does attract alot of dust. Also, I did notice some flares when taking photos of the sunset. More time will tell as I plan on taking some night time photos to see if there is any flaring or ghosting effects from the light sources. It claims that this filter minimizes such effects.Digital camera Review: Hoya Filter on Sigma 18-250
Summary: 5 Stars
Excellent filter. Does its job very well. I have it attached to a Sigma 18-150 lens and it holds the lens cap just as well as the lens does. Matte black finish is very nice, brand labeling in white faces down when it is screwed in place.
Optical quality is excellent. Hard to believe how clear the filter is to visible light. It removes UV haze as advertised and is definitely a better alternative to a NC filter (for my purposes anyway).
Other reviews about it smudging easily aren't kidding. This thing smudges from anything. I used a 'dirty' microfiber and it smudged. Cleaned the cloth and tried again with some lens cleaner and the smudges went away.
Digital camera Review: Just bought 2nd one
Summary: 5 Stars
I always carry a protective UV filter on my lense and a couple weeks ago it finally paid off. One wrong move and the filter was hit and cracked but the lense is fine. So it does happen!
About the filter. Basically the filters are not the same and they should match the lense you use. Mine is Nikon 18-200mm and I can't see any noticeable difference with and without the filter, so I think it's a reasonable choice for that particular lense.
Digital camera Review: Next time I'll buy B+W
Summary: 1 Stars
This filter arrived with surface flaws near the edges. It seems to attract dust like a magnet and is nearly impossible to clean streak-free. I have not had these problems with B+W filters.Digital camera Review: Photo Filter
Summary: 5 Stars
Hoya makes excellent filters and this is one of them for digital cameras.
