Hoya Protector filters (colorless) are for color as well as black and white films, and also for digital camera lenses. Also serves as a permanent lens protector. Will not affect the color balance or performance of your lenses in the slightest Under constant use, Clear filters will protect your valued lenses from expensive front element damage which could be caused by dirt, knocks or scratchesHoya newly developed Antistatic coating is acting like a force field around the filter to repel dust. Perfect for environments where dust is common, these filters require less frequent cleaning and maintenance than traditional filters. Additionally, the hardened, antistatic top-layer is water repellent, stain and scratch resistant, and cleans easily when smudges or fingerprints are introduced to the surface.The new Fusion Antistatic professional filters are made in Japan using hand selected silicates that are carefully smelted and blended to yield high performance optical glass. Hoya then uses extreme care and precision to apply the Improved 9-layer Super Multi-coating formula which greatly reduces or eliminates reflections on the surface of the glass and yields a ultra clear high transmission rate. This means the filter has virtually no effect on the color balance, contrast, or clarity of the final image. The filters features a lightweight, one-piece, low-profile aluminum frame to house the glass. This one-piece design allows the filter to maintain perfect parallel alignment to the sensor plane for maximum sharpness, while the low-profile form eliminates vignetting when used on ultra-wide-angle lenses.  New Antistatic coating repels dust  Ultra Clear High Transmission  Scratch resistant - hardened coating protects against everyday wear  Stain resistant - protects against exposure to ink, markers etc.  Water repellent – water beads up and wipes away easily  Fingerprints and smudges wipe away cleanly  Hoya’s Professional-grade optical glass  Hoya exclusive one-piece, low-profile filter frame with front filter threads
