Hoya's new UX (for 'user experience') series is designed for entry level users who require filters at an affordable price. These filters provide high quality standards with basic and contemporary functions, and offer users better individual experiences through all the activities connected with photography.

Key features of UX UV filters:

* Anti-reflection Coating. This prevents unwanted reflections and increases transmittance of light.
* Water-repellent Coating. This has been added to the anti-reflective coating to repel water droplets and make it easier to clean the filter surface from dirt or fingerprints.
* Slim Frame. This assures no vignetting even for wide angle lenses

Though not visible to the naked eye, UV rays may affect the image when shooting in locations like seaside or mountainous environments, resulting in blurred contours or faded and whitish images.

This 62mm UX UV filter can suppress the UV spectrum contained in daylight that mainly causes these poor effects in images, thereby assuring more vivid images with increased sharpness and clarity. This filter can be used with both film and digital cameras. In addition, by keeping it constantly attached, this filter serves as everyday lens protection.
