The Hoya Digital Filter Kit offers everything you need to get started with your outdoor shooting. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- * UV Filter * • Hoya filters provide additional benefits of correction for Ultraviolet(UV) light which can register on film and videotape as a bluish cast and can obscure distant details • If desired they can be left on the lens at all times for protection
* Circular Polarizer * • This filter eliminates ultraviolet rays to remove haze from outdoor shots as well as polarizing the light to remove reflections, and increase color saturation, without affecting the overall color balance
* Neutral Density Filters Have Four Main Uses * • To enable slow shutter speeds to be used, especially with high speed films, to record movement in subjects such as waterfalls, clouds, or cars • To decrease depth of field by allowing wider apertures to be used, which helps separate subjects from their background • To decrease the effective ISO of high speed film (above ISO 400) and allow it to be used outdoors in bright situations • To allow cine and video cameras (which have fixed shutter speeds) to film subjects such as snow, sand or other bright scenes which could cause overexposure
* Hoya Quality * • As one of the premier filter manufacturers, Hoya filters continue to made from quality glass assuring the photographer clear, sharp and accurate images • Hoya filters consistently provide even color all the way through the filter; all surfaces are ground and polished to specific thickness and tolerances • Even non-multi-coated Hoya filters have one layer of anti-reflective coating applied to each surface of the glass; Hoya's single layer coating decreases light reflection off the surface from approx. 9% to an average of 4-5%
