Why choose the Hoya HD Mk II CIR-PL ?
A circular polarizing filter enables you to achieve effects that cannot be replicated in postproduction, such as enhancing color contrast and controlling reflections. For a detailed guide on how to make the most of a polarizer, refer to the section on how CIR-PL filters work.
HD High-Transparency polarizing film
The HD Mk II CIR-PL uses a UV-absorbing, high-transparency polarizing film that offers 25% higher light transmission than standard filters, letting in more light while maintaining color balance, contrast, and clarity.
Control reflections
The HOYA HD Mk II CIR-PL controls polarized light from non-metallic surfaces, reducing reflections and glare while revealing natural colors and fine details.
Enhance contrast and color saturation
The HOYA HD Mk II CIR-PL goes beyond reflection control by filtering unwanted light waves that reduce clarity and color. It enhances contrast, delivering richer, more natural tones with deeper skies and more vibrant foliage for a clearer, balanced image.
Key features of the HOYA HD Mk II CIR-PL
HD High-transmittance coating
The 16-layers anti-reflective multi-coating on both sides of the filter glass greatly reduces the chance of any reflections caused by the filter. As the coating comes with a water- and oil repellent feature while also being stain resistant, cleaning the filter is easy and stress free.
HD Low-profile frame
The glass of the HOYA Mk II Protector is mounted with a special high-pressure press technology to the frame, giving it additional stability, which contributes to the sturdiness of the filter.
