Hoya Circular Polariser HD Series MKII Filter
A circular polarizing filter allows you to create unique effects in your image which are not possible to create via postproduction, such as enhancing colour contrasts and controlling reflections.

KEY FEATURES
HD REINFORCED GLASS
The HOYA HD Mk II CIR-PL comes with HOYA’s top-quality HD glass, which is a special, chemically enhanced optical glass – offering four times better protection than conventional glass.
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.
HD HIGH-TRANSPARENT POLARIZING FILM
Equipped with a UV-absorbing high transparency polarizing film, the HD Mk II CIR-PL has 25% better light transmission than the standard polarizing film used in current photographic filters. This means that nearly 1/2 stop more light is entering the lens while yielding the same polarization effect, maintaining colour balance while improving contrast and clarity.
CONTROL REFLECTIONS
Since light reflected from non-metallic surfaces polarizes, the HOYA HD Mk II CIR-PL filter makes it possible to control which light enters the lens, giving you more creative avenues to improve your image.
One such avenue is the reduction of reflections, for example, on water surfaces. With the HOYA HD Mk II CIR-PL, you can greatly control and remove reflections, allowing you to show the natural colours and details of submerged objects.
ENHANCE CONTRAST AND COLOR SATURATION
This filter is not limited to surface light reflection control. Light waves reduce the clarity and saturation of certain colours, making them appear hazed in the final photo.
The HOYA HD Mk II CIR-PL also filters these light waves, greatly enhancing colour contrast, and making skies and green foliage look more defined through deeper and more natural colour tones.
