This effect is often used to increase the contrast and saturation in blue skies and white clouds. HOYA's polarizing filters do not affect the overall color balance of a shot. EVERY OUTDOOR PHOTOGRAPHER SHOULD HAVE A CIRCULAR POLARIZER ON THE END OF THEIR LENS! Pro1 Digital Filter Series are filters designed exclusively for Digital Cameras.  The Pro1 Digital filter series is the top of the line filter for digital cameras.  The Hoya Pro1 Digital filter series key features:   Digital multi-coated filters greatly reduce the appearance of lens flare and ghosting caused by reflections. Filters feature a black matte aluminum satin finish almite frame which reduces reflections. These filters are equipped with black rimmed glass to reduce the chance of light reflecting off the edge. Ultra thin filter frames to help avoid vignetting on super wide angle lenses are also designed to hold a lens cap. These filters are equipped with a straight knurling edge for non-slip, easy attachment and removal. Filter cases are UV protected to further lengthen the life of filters. Digital Cameras need Multicoated filters. Digital camera CCD or CMOS sensors are highly susceptible to reflections - this stray light can ruin your photographs!  Don't risk your valuable photos by using bare-glass filters. The Clear Advantage. Take a bare glass filter, hold it so that light reflection off the surface can be seen.  Then take a long, very thin object like a pin or the tip of a pen and hold it over the filter so that its reflection can be seen.  There will actually be two reflections of the pin on the surface, one a little more pronounced than the other.  The more pronounced reflection is from the front surface and the lighter one is from light reflecting off the rear surface.  Now try it with a HOYA Digital Multi-Coated filter and see how much more dim the reflection is, a dimmer reflection means less light is reflected off the surface of the glass. Please see the table below for information about Hoya's different filter series.  The colors are an indication of the packaging color.   HOYA CIRCULAR POLARIZING FILTERS* Filter Series Green Series Standard HMC HMC Super PRO1 Digital DMC Where Made Phillipines Japan Japan Japan Japan Ring Thickness 9mm 9mm 9mm 5mm 5mm Coating Uncoated Uncoated 3 Layers on each side 6 Layers on Rear and 1 Layer on Front 3 Layers on each side with Anti-Aliasing Coating Specifically Designed for Digital Sensors Threading Double Double Double Single Double Double Threading allows use of snap-on lens caps and can be used to stack multiple filters.

Hoya is a leader in the filter industry.  Known for their quality optics, Hoya filters are great additions to any lens...they just screw on to the end!   * You are bidding on NEW Merchandise!
