New Hoya UV & IR Cut filter sizes

Hoya UV IR cut filter

Hoya has introduced the new Hoya UV & IR Cut filter in sizes from 49mm through to 82mm.

 

The new UV and IR Cut Filter from Hoya is a lens filter that, when attached to your lens, permits only the visible spectrum of light rays to enter the camera and get captured by the sensor. It blocks out both the higher frequency ultraviolet rays and lower frequency infrared light rays. The CCD and CMOS sensors found in cameras are extremely susceptible to catching UV and IR rays just outside the visible spectrum that have a very negative impact on image quality.

 

The filter is said to offer greater versatility than is already found in a combination UV-IR filter due to its front and rear threads. They are said to permit stackable standard-size filters to be attached, giving you even more filter effect options, while also accommodating a standard lens cap as well.

The UV-IR filter is also said to reduce the effects of atmospheric haze to a greater degree than would be found with a standard UV filter. This means that sharper images with more depth and finer, richer colour gradations are possible when utilising the filter's effects in a user’s photography. This combination filter is a convenient option for those who seek a clearer and sharper image when captured outdoors, while getting the benefits of two filters in one.

Product features:
Blocks UV Rays below 390nm
Blocks Infra-Red (IR) Rays above 700mn
Transmits only light in the visible spectrum
Helps generate higher quality images with clearer and sharper definition

The filter is available now at a suggested retail price starting from £84.99 for the 49mm size. For more information please visit intro2020.co.uk
