Hoya 52mm UV HMC + Cicular Polarizer CPL + NDx8 3-piece Digital Filter Set Kit

The Hoya 52mm Introductory Filter Kit.
Ultraviolet UV FilterHoya Haze UV Filters are wise investments. They help protect your valuable investment from dust, moisture and scratches, which can lead to costly repairs.
Circular Polarizing Filter Light rays which are reflected become polarized. Polarizing filters are used to select which light rays enter your camera lens. They can remove unwanted reflections from non-metallic surfaces such as water or glass and also saturate colors providing better contrast. The effect can be seen through the viewfinder and changed by rotating the filter. The filter factor varies according to how the filter is rotated and its orientation to the sun.
Neutral Density NDx8 FilterThe Hoya Neutral Density ND filters help reduce the amount of light entering the lens, but have no affect on color balance. The ND 8 filter has a filter factor of 3-stops, so you are able to slow down the shutter speed or increase the aperture by 3-stops. This standard NDx8 filter is un-coated has a 5mm thick frame and is made in the Philippines. The main uses are:1. To enable slower shutter speeds so as to emphasize movement, such as waterfalls, clouds, the sea, automobiles, etc.2. To enable wider apertures to be used so as to decrease the depth of field, which is very desirable in portraiture or macro work.

Note! Circular polarizers are specifically designed for use with auto-focus SLR cameras They will also work on manual systems and video cameras.

UV Filters

If desired they can be left on the lens at all times for protection

Haze filters provide additional benefits of correction for UltravioletUV light which can register on film and videotape as a bluish cast and can obscure distant details

Ultraviolet filters allow you to correct for the UV effect to varying degrees
Circular Polarizing Filters

This filter eliminates ultraviolet rays to remove haze from outdoor shots as well as polarizing the light to remove reflections, and increase color saturation, without affecting the overall color balance
Neutral Density Filters

2x = ND.3 exposure adjustment = 1 stop, reduces ISO 1/2

4x = ND.6 exposure adjustment = 2 stops, reduces ISO 1/4

8x = ND.9 exposure adjustment = 3 stops, reduces ISO 1/8

As one of the premier filter manufacturers, Hoya filters continue to made from quality glass assuring the photographer clear, sharp and accurate images

Hoya filters consistently provide even color all the way through the filter; All surfaces are ground and polished to specific thickness and tolerances
