Customer Reviews

Excellent "always-on" filter
This is a great protector filter for use on any lens mounted on a digital SLR. I find it does not alter the image as some UV filters do. It lives on my Canon 17-55 IS and I am planning on ordering a 58mm one for my 70-300 DO.

Without a doubt the finest filter I haver ever owned
This is without a doubt the finest filter I haver ever used. I tried many different filters at the store including the best B+W filters to try and find a filter that did not degrade my photos I took even when I pixel peep. The best of the B+W filters always degraded the quality of the photo but the Hoya PRO1s actually resulted in better photos!

I have some expensive lenses that I not only want to get the best out of but want to protect including the Canon 85mm F/1.2 L (72mm filter), Canon 70-200 F/2.8 L (77mm filter), Canon 17-55 IS F/2.8 (77mm filter), Canon 135mm F/2 (72mm filter) and Canon 17-40 F4 L (77mm Filter). You think I want to go shoot with the Canon 85mm F/1.2 L and not have protection? No way! And I want the image quality to be just like it was without the filter or better. Guess what it seems like the image is just a little better with a little better contrast and sharpness then without. You can't go wrong with the Hoya Pro1 Clear Protector filters.

Cheap protection
This is a cheap way to protect your expensive lenses.
It is a nice filter that doesn't degrade the image.
