Hoya 58mm EVO SMC UV Super Multi-Coated Slim Frame Glass Filter

Both surfaces of the optical glass are fully multi-coated to increases light transmission and specialized UV glass absorb almost the entire range of UV rays to give clearer and sharper images with less haze. Additionally to unique coatings are water stain resistant for easer cleaning. Keeping this UV filter on your lens at all times will give it superior protection under a wide variety of conditions. These professional quality filters are made in Japan using precision optical glass that is carefully smelted to yield perfect optical results. Hoya has applied the same care and precision to the multi-coating process, using an Improved Super Multi-coating (IS-HMC) formula to greatly reduce or eliminate reflections off the optical glass. These coatings are over-layed with a clear water & stain resistant that is easy to clean. This makes for much easier care and handling of the filter in the field. All coating layers are applied in a furnace to bond the coating to the glass. All Hoya EVO filters have very low profile aluminum filter frames to house the glass and keep it perfectly parallel the plane of the CCD or CMOS sensor while providing enough rigidity to hold up to years of use. The low-profile frame makes the filters compatible with a wide array of super and ultra wide-angle lenses.
