Customer Review: Be careful with choosing series
Summary: 5 Stars
I've bought hoya's cir-pol 52mm filter for $15 and was little bit disappointed after opening package. The item was made in Philippines instead of Japan and apparently didn't have any coatings. But for the price it works very good and it still stands on one of my lenses. Then I've contacted to the seller and the manager explained me the difference between hoya series:
Green (~$15) - made in Philippines. No multicoating. It's what I've ordered.
Standard (~$35) - the same as Green but made in Japan
HMC (~$60) - three layers of multicoating. made in Japan.
HMC Super (~$75) - seven layers of multicoating. made in Japan.
Also there are Pro1 and HD series (with 12 layers of multicoating) for ~$100-150 but I don't see any need to buy them exepting if one is a professional photographer with very expensive lenses.
After learning that I've ordered an extra-thin Super HMC filter from Adorama. It works better than Green, and not only about flare - it gives darker sky (once I even could get almost black color of sky). Also it's made more sturdy. Thin design helps to avoid vignetting on my wide-angle lens. It doesn't have bayonet on its front side but it comes with special rubber cap which I like very much.
Description of Hoya 52mm Circular Polarizing Glass Filter - B52CRPLGB
Light rays which are reflected by any surface become polarised and polarising filters are used to select which light rays enter your camara lens. They allow you to remove unwanted reflections from non-metallic surfaces such as water, glass etc. They also saturate colors and increase contrast. Polarizers come in two variations but have the same effect. Linear polarizers work with older camera meters; Circurlar polarizers are designed for today's newer split-beam metering systems used in auto focus cameras. Check your camera's manual.Filters
