Hoya 67mm Digital Filter Kit II (3 Filters)
The Hoya Digital Filter Kit II consists of three different filters that form a complete set for any photographer. These filters are suitable for everyday use and give you the opportunity to make the most of your own creativity in your photos. This Digital Filter Kit II includes a UV(C) filter, a circular polarising filter, and an ND filter, each with a filter size of 67mm.
UV HMC C Filter
By using a UV filter, haze is reduced, blue and violet are corrected in colour photos, and black-and-white photos become sharper. The multi-coating also reduces annoying reflections. A UV filter is recommended to protect multi-coated lenses against damage such as scratches, and to reduce UV light. The UV filter has a filter factor of zero and has no effect on exposure.
Circular Polarising Filter
Polarising filters are filters often used for special situations. A CP filter has a slightly cooler tone compared to a UV filter. This means, among other things, that some light loss occurs through the filter. It is therefore not recommended to use a CP filter indoors or in the evening on a lens. A CP filter is great for landscape photos; by rotating the CP filter, you can bring out different shades of blue. This lets you decide for yourself how blue you want the sky to appear. A CP filter is also recommended for water surfaces. Using the filter, you can choose whether the water appears reflective or whether you want to photograph "into the depths".
NDx8 Grey Filter
An ND filter reduces the amount of light entering the lens but has no effect on the colours in your photos. This allows for faster shutter speeds or a wider aperture to be selected. Think, for example, of photographing flowing water or cloudy skies, and working with a shallower depth of field. This ND filter provides 3 stops less light.
UV HMC C filter
Using a UV filter reduces colour cast, corrects blue and violet hues in colour photos and makes blacks and whites in B&W photos more crisp. The multi-coating reduces unwanted reflections. A UV filter can also be simply used to protect multi-coated lenses against damage such as scratches, and to reduce the UV light. The UV filter has a filter factor of zero and does not impact exposure.
Circular Polarising filter
Polarising filters are often used in special situations. They are a bit bluer than a UV filter. This means, among other things, that it reduces the light by one or more steps. It is therefore not recommended to use a CP filter indoors or at night. CP filters are perfect for landscape photography. By rotating the CP filter, you can reduce or increase the amount of blue in your shot, excellent for photos of clear blue skies for instance. CP filters can also be used to play around with reflections from water. Decide whether you want the water surface to reflect the light, or whether you want to look through the surface to what's beneath.
NDx8 filter
An ND filter reduces the amount of light that enters through the lens, but does not affect the colours in your photo. This allows you to use faster shutter speeds or a larger aperture. This is perfect for photographing running water or cloudy skies, or working with a smaller depth of field. This ND filter reduces the light by 3 stops.
