Hoya HMC 1B Skylight Filter

The Hoya HMC Skylight 1B Filter reduces excessive blue tones that often occur in outdoor photography, especially in open shade under clear blue skies. The absorption peak is in the range corresponding to the green spectrum of a film. This means excellent outdoor shots with outstanding color balance and clarity under all conditions. Additionally, skin tones remain free from colored reflections from nearby objects, such as the shadows of trees. The filter features HMC (Hoya Multi Coated) coating, which provides better image quality and enhanced protection. These popular filters are known for their ability to minimize reflections on the filter surfaces, thereby reducing stray light and ghosting. The result is an average light transmission of over 97%, ensuring sharp contrast and balanced colors. Hoya HMC filters are recommended to enhance the performance of today's multi-coated lenses.
