Description
These filters offer both amateur and professional photographers HOYA's famous quality at reasonable prices. They have coatings applied to both surfaces to suppress reflection and increase light transmission.
This filter for black and white photography is the most effective for portraits under tungsten lighting or outdoors with a foliage background. By darkening red and absorbing green and green-blue, skin and lips are given a more natural tone. Lighter than green, its subduing effect is especially suited to outdoor scenes where a softer lightening and detail increase is wanted.
HOYA HMC filters are renowned for their ability to minimise reflection at the filter surfaces which reduces flare and ghosting. The result is an average light transmission of over 97%, giving sharp contrast and well balanced colour. HOYA HMC filters are recommended for enhancing the performance of todays multicoated lenses.
