Hoya Fusion Next Protector 82mm

Hoya Fusion Ant

The Hoya Fusion Antistatic Next Protector is particularly suitable for use in dirty or dusty environments. Unlike conventional filters that require frequent cleaning in such environments to avoid ruining your shots with dirt in front of the lens, the Antistatic filter requires far less maintenance. Of course, even with these filters, cleaning cannot be completely avoided, but it can be kept to a minimum. In this way, the photographer or filmmaker reduces the risk of the filter surface being scratched by the finest dust or dirt particles, which can often hardly be avoided by frequent cleaning in such environments. The hardened, antistatic surface also repels water and rain and can be easily and gently cleaned of dirt stains and fingerprints as needed.

Hoya Fusion Antistatic Protector - Reliable lens protection

The Protector has just one job: to protect valuable lenses from damage. This clear-glass filter does not affect the color rendition or the image quality of the lenses. But it does provide excellent protection against damage to the front lens caused by dirt, bumps and scratches. The new Antistatic coating maximizes this protective effect.

Hoya Fusion Antistatic filters are manufactured in Japan from high-quality silicates, which are carefully melted and mixed with other high-quality glass components in an elaborate procedure to produce optical glass of the highest quality. The greatest possible care and precision during the manufacturing process, the highest quality materials and the best workmanship is the guarantee for the consistently high quality of Hoya filters. The 9-layer Super Multi-Coating formula responsible for the antistatic effect, which also greatly reduces or in many cases completely prevents reflections, is applied to the glass surface at the end of this elaborate production process and enables excellent light transmission. In practice, this means that the filters have virtually no effect on the color balance, contrast and clarity of an image.

The filters are supplied in a UV-protected filter box and feature a particularly flat and lightweight aluminum frame with a front filter thread. The flat frame, which consists of two parts, prevents vignetting when the filters are used on ultra-wide-angle lenses (e.g. from Tokina).
