User questions & answers

Question:	Are these filters threaded on both sides for stacking
Answer:	They are about the size of a half dollar and about 1-1.5” thick. They don’t really produce a huge amount of light so if never get these for a pool. I have a 200gal koi pond that’s about 2-3’ deep and they’re barely decent for this application.
Question:	are these 62mm filters? the pictures only have 72mm filter in them
Answer:	no but you can turn on and off with the control i don’t think timer is necessary.
Question:	Are these glass filters
Answer:	No, they aren't magnetic.
Question:	Is it a fixed ND filter or adjustable? If fixed what is its density
Answer:	As long as you separate the lights, you can turn on each light individually using the remote. The remote has to be fairly close to the light for it to work.

User questions & answers

Question:	Please advise if this is a thin polarized lenses
Answer:	Thin is a pretty subjective word but in my opinion these are thin 'filters' - including the thread the filter is 1/4" thick - excluding the thread 3/16" (i.e. the part that would stick out of the lens). The smaller diameter versions may be slightly thinner than the larger diameter (maybe 1/16" variation)
Question:	Are the rings brass or aluminum
Answer:	I am thinking they are brass, but that should be a question for Hoya.
Question:	is the circular polarizer filter multi coating
Answer:	No.
Question:	Will this fit for Panasonic 20mm f1.7 lens
Answer:	Yes.

Product description

The Hoya NXT Plus UV Filter is a multi-purpose filter that is most commonly used to protect the front of your lens, a first line of defense against scratches, rain, dirt and dust. Hoya's NXT Plus UV is a powerful upgrade to the best-selling NXT series. This filter applies a waterproof top coat to Schott B270 glass polished smooth for maximum sharpness. There are two advantages to having a premium waterproof coating: Water beads-up quickly, and easily slides off the surface of the filter for streak-free shooting. It also makes the filter a lot easier to clean when dirt, water, and smudges make their way onto the surface.

Hoya applies 10 layers of patented anti-reflection (AR) HMC multi-coatings to the NXT Plus UV filter for improved contrast, color, and sharpness. The coatings deliver a 98% light transmission so you don't have to worry about contrast-killing glare. The NXT Plus filter frames are precision milled from lightweight aluminum for a slim profile that makes it perfect for all lenses including super wide-angles.

What else does a UV filter do?

Most photographers leave a UV filter attached to the lens all the time as a form of protection. But the filter also plays an important role in filtering through UV Haze. Haze is not a huge problem when you are taking pictures at sea-level, but as you hike into higher altitudes, the filter definitely helps cut through the haze to increase contrast and improve color. The NXT plus has a UV Cut Point of 360nm or L36 which is superior to most filters at this price point.

Key Features:

• Waterproof top coat for easy cleaning

• Schott B270 clear glass

• 10-layers of HMC multi-coatings

• 98% transmission rate for sharp, clear images

• Low-profile aluminum frame

• Waterproof top coat for easy cleaning

Product description

Color Filter HMC 82B 77mm. In conditions of extreme light intensity, such as sunshine on snowy mountains or on the beach, or when using a camcorder, ND (Neutral Density) filters are recommended as essential. Neutral Density filters are often ignored by photographers, but they have several uses and offer the possibility to achieve otherwise unachievable results. ND filters appear grey and reduce the amount of light reaching the film, they have no affect on color balance. They have four main uses: 1) To enable slow shutter speeds to be used, especially with fast films, to record movement in subjects such as waterfalls, clouds, cars, seas etc. 2) To decrease depth of field by allowing wider apertures to be used, which helps separate subjects from their background. 3) To decrease the effective ISO of high speed film (ie: above ISO400) and allow it to be used outdoors in blight situations. 4) To allow cine and video cameras (which have fixed shutter speeds) to film subjects such as snow, sand or other bright scenes which would normally cause over-exposure.

• These are light balancing filters used to increase the color temperature slightly for a cooler (bluer) tone
• Corrects the tendency toward reddish tones
• These series filters are also used to prevent the reddish tones in early morning or late evening light for natural skin tones

The Sigma 18-35mm f/1.8 DC HSM Lens for Canon is a wide-angle to normal-length zoom lens that features a fast, bright constant f/1.8 maximum aperture. It is specifically designed for use with APS-C-sized sensors and provides a 35mm-equivalent focal length range of 28.8-56mm.The lens integrates one aspherical element into its construction as well as Special Low Dispersion (SLD) glass to help minimize various aberrations and distortions throughout the zoom range as well as provide greater image sharpness and clarity. A Super Multi-Layer Coating has also been applied to lens elements to reduce surface reflections, lens flare and ghosting to produce images with higher contrast and color fidelity. The lens barrel design is constructed from a Thermally Stable Composite (TSC) material that is akin to metal in texture and resistance to temperature and environmental changes while also remaining lightweight and compact. An internal focusing and zooming mechanism also helps to maintain a compact and consistent overall length and non-rotating front ring also better enables the use of circular polarizing filters. For control of focus, a Hyper Sonic Motor (HSM) is used to ensure fast, precise and quiet focusing capabilities that are well suited to continuous shooting and movie recording.For updating lens firmware and fine-tuning its nuances to best suit your personal shooting, this lens is compatible with the Sigma USB Dock.
