The Hoya HMC Super 72mm UV(0) is a professional-grade ultraviolet filter designed to serve as both an optical correction tool and a permanent protective element for valuable camera lenses. Featuring Hoya's High Multi-Coating (HMC) technology, this filter absorbs unwanted ultraviolet rays that can cause hazy, indistinct images in outdoor photography, particularly in mountain and marine environments. The 12-layer Super Multicoating applied to both surfaces achieves an exceptional average light transmission of 99.7%, effectively reducing flare and ghosting while maintaining perfect color balance without introducing any color cast to the final image. Housed in a slim 5mm profile aluminum frame, this 72mm filter prevents vignetting when used with wide-angle lenses and includes a protective case for secure storage and transport. The filter's construction allows it to remain on the lens at all times, safeguarding the front element from dust, moisture, and scratches without compromising optical performance. Compatible with all standard 72mm lens threads, this filter appeals to demanding photographers who require the ultimate in optical performance while ensuring their equipment remains protected in any shooting environment.
