Hoya 62mm Pro-1 Digital UV Screw in Filter

Does the job, buy these often to simply protect the lens glass itself - and doesn’t affect the lens performance.

Good Quality good service

This filter (62mm) arrived in good condition and protected with foam insulation inside a neat and compact container. The container being so compact is ideal for storage when the lens might not be in use and fits easily into a compartment in my camera bag.I bought this filter mainly as another layer of protection (a point of contention in photography circles, it should be noted, with some favouring you not putting other less expensive glass in front of an expensive lens) for my tamron 70-300mm lens which I use with a Nikon D7200. Historically, UV filters were there to protect the camera sensors and film from uv light at which would often reach problematic levels on sunny days or at high altitude. This isn’t really a problem for modern cameras which are simply not sensitive to light at this end of the spectrum. UV filters do, however, live on as a means of protecting lenses from scratches and abrasions.The lens filter was easy to attach and to clean and i have not noticed any degradation in the images taken with it on. The cap for my lenses fits neatly over the filter as if it were the lens alone. It is lightweight, thin (which helps minimise vignetting) and clear. The filter rim is black which is designed to minimise the risk of light reflecting off the edge and affecting the quality of your image. There is also a multi coating on the filter aimed at reducing flare and ghosting. I’ve not had a chance to test this 100% but it does seem to be making a difference.I feel I’m more confident and worry less about minor scratches and abrasions with this on the end of my lens though obviously you still have to be careful.I have tried a few other brands and keep coming back to Hoya. They’re more expensive, yes, but it really seems to be a case here of you get what you pay for.Overall: 5/5 and highly recommend. High quality, easy to use and good value for money.If you found this review useful in any way I’d be super grateful if you clicked the “helpful” button below to let me know :)

Prompt delivery. Protects the lens without affecting picture quality.

Some people may find filters unnecessary for their camera lenses, hence letting them get exposed to literally floating dust particles, water splashes, strong sunlight and even subject to the risk of dropping them and breaking it in their day to day activities. This proves them wrong, the filter does not only saves you money for purchasing a new lens, it also offers adequate amounts of solid protection and reduces hazes/flares when taking outdoor photography.The Hoya 67mm Pro-1 UV Filter is made with an aluminium frame and durable heavy glass on the lens area. The overall frame is constructed with good quality and feels solid on the hands so it is definitely suitable to act as a lens protector. The mounting is also surprisingly easy and smooth with its screw thread integration on the sides of the filter, so don't worry about it scratching the camera or lenses, it won't. Primarily the Pro-1 UV Filter acts as prevention layer for the lenses when taking photos outdoors, you can simply attach it to the camera lens and store it inside the camera bag without worrying about damaging the lens. So whenever you see a good opportunity for a photo shoot, all you need to do is take out the camera, turn it on and in one click of a button, voila! This also saves camera users the hassle of having to clean a completely exposed lens periodically while being extremely careful not to scratch the delicate inner surface of the lens in the process. You can also equip a lens hood (i.e. DWL HB-32) to the lens in addition to the uv filter so it offers more protection against physical impact and helps limit the amount of light being exposed during the photo shooting process. Overall the Hoya 67mm Pro-1 UV Filter is well worth its money with its price and protection for lenses, definitely recommend to buy +++++

If you fall into either the "I will never put a piece of glass between the subject and my lens" or "I will only ever fit a filter which costs more than the lens I'm fitting it onto" camps, then leave now. If, like me, you think that protecting the front of your lens is well worth any insignificant loss of detail you may suffer, then this is for you.I've been out today with my Nikon D7200 and Tamron zoom, and I can't in all truthfulness say that there has been any degradation in picture quality with the filter fitted. It's been very sunny and I've used my lens hood all the time I was out, and I can't see any flare on any of the images. The need for a UV filter has apparently long ago disappeared because (I am told) digital cameras don't suffer from the effects of UV light, but the need to protect your front lens element will never go away, and personally I wouldn't go out without one.Less than £20 to potentially save you a few hundred seems like a good deal to me.

This is my second one of these, as I damaged the previous one by hitting against my bike handlebar end.!!Good quality.

I’ve had this uv filter for a while now and thought I would write a review after extensive use. I always use uv filter for protection on my lenses. When I purchased this it was about £20-30 which is more expensive than other brands but the quality is very good. I have not noticed any differences in the image quality. I had this on for quite a while before accidentally dropping my camera out of my bag off a bench. Luckily there was minimal damage to the camera but the lens fell head first onto the ground the uv filter was dented slightly into the lens and needed a bit of wiggling to get it out but it took the brunt of the fall and all the damage was round the outside of the filter and saved my lens, I’m so lucky
