The engineers at HOYA have developed a new ANTI-STATIC coating that acts like a force field around the filter to repel dust. Ideal for environments where dust is common, these filters require less frequent cleaning and maintenance than traditional filters.

The harder, anti-static top layer is water-repellent and stain-resistant, cleaning easily when smudges or fingerprints come in contact with the surface.

Circular polarizing filters allow photographers to achieve creative effects in-camera that are not possible after the image is created. A polarizing filter filters out unwanted reflections from non-metallic surfaces like water and glass, as well as light reflected from moisture and pollution in the atmosphere.

By rotating the filter very smoothly, you can select the right amount of filtering needed to achieve the creative effect, resulting in bluer skies, greener leaves, reduced or eliminated reflections, and greater clarity in the final image.

The new professional FUSION ANTISTATIC NEXT filters are made in Japan using carefully hand-selected silicate materials, and HOYA takes great care to apply the enhanced 18-Layer Super Multi-Coating formula (on both sides), which significantly reduces or eliminates reflections on the surface of the glass.

This delivers very high light transmission rates, with no substantial effect on the color balance, contrast, or clarity of the final image beyond its polarizing effects.
