Hoya's HD3 UV filters are created for any weather environment, from dust storms to deep freeze to bright sun to heavy rain. With our hard-as-nails, ultra-smooth nano-coating technology and hardened optical glass, Hoya's HD3 filters are the toughest filters on the planet. Water beads up and rolls off. Fingerprints and oil smudges are easily wiped away. And our high-pressure, one-piece design ensures our filters will never come apart like glass-mounted systems.
