Costs More But Hoya HD3’s Are Worth It
After reading Ken Rockwell’s review of the Nikon Zf mirrorless camera and his recommendation to also purchase a Hoya HD3 Professional UV Lens Filter, I purchased both. The Hoya HD3 is a sturdy, well-made lens filter that provides extra protection against finger prints, smudges, moisture and minor scratches. It also seems to stay cleaner than my other lens filters. As a result I’ve purchased Hoya HD3’s for all of the new “Z” lenses that I’ve bought for my new Zf camera and I’m pleased with all of them. Hoya HD3’s cost more than other filters, but they appear to be definitely worth it… especially for $1,000+ Nikkor and Voigtlander lenses I highly recommend Hoya HD3 lens filter for your valuable – and not so valuable – lenses.

Hoya Professional UV Filter 52 mm vs. B+W Master UV Haze MRC Nano 010M 52 mm
I plan to use two filters at the front end of my Canon binoculars. The Canon optics filter an unspecified amount of UV, but since they concentrate whatever comes into the front lens I take a belt-and-suspenders approach.The two filters I tested are listed in the headline. Both filters are double-threaded and neither noticably blocks visible light.Using a UV meter, I first took a reading of a bright part of the sky, which comes in at 2190 micro-Watt / cm^2. Next I place the filter over the meter, trying to keep it steady. I did this three times for each filter.The Hoya is a bit more expensive, but it blocks 12x as much UV as the B+W filter (55 vs. 660 micro-W/cm^2). So for my purpose the Hoya filter seems much preferable.

The best in glass and class
Made in Japan. Engineered in Japan. It doesn’t get any better than that.

The Best
Hoya is always a brand I trust for filters. Although The HD3 is expensive it is the best. I have never had any issues with Hoya. If you purchase expensive glass for your camera you donât want to put a cheap low guality filter on it.

Hoya filters are the best

What’s wrong with You… Hoya? What planet are you on?
Are you kidding me? I put this into a super filtered studio of mine and I mean almost no dust and the filter sucks dust up from – what seems like – all corners of the studio. Oh MY GOD. You guys really are sloppy. Also – just an FYI – your antistatic filters (EVO) all come with a cloud of dust on the lens right out of the little box with the static charged foam you lazily slop the filter on top of so it can bang around during shipping.We use seriously high-end cameras and this blows my mind that you – after all these years of manufacturing – are so sloppy. Fix the static problem and package your stuff right – the reason you have good reviews as well is because they people posting them don’t check anything and are green – anybody who inspects this hd3 lens will watch dust collect and – no matter what – blower/anti-static brush/pancro with kim wipes – etc – the dust just keeps on coming back.

Hoya 62mm HD3 UV Filter. I bought this to protect my new lens, most of my lenses have a filter on them. I always buy good quality filters. They are a little expensive, so, I look on the bright side, if I got my lens scratched, it would cost me a lot more than the price of a good quality filter.

Good.

Very protective and means it is safe to stop putting cap on and off camera all the time as that slows you down and you can mislay or lose your cap when out and about; though still use cap for storage.
