Hoya's HD3 Circular Polarizer 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.

The HD3 polarizer opens up the skies for vibrant colors and dramatic contrasts

The HD3 Circular Polarizer filters are built to select which rays enter your camera lens and which do not, minimizing unwanted reflections and enabling more saturation of colors and clarity without compromise. The effect increases the contrast and saturation in blue skies and white clouds, in addition to maintaining the color balance of your overall photos.

Hoya's HD3 filters are as tough as they come, designed to protect as well as they perform. Our chemically enhanced optical glass is 4X stronger than what our competitors offer. In addition, our new 800% harder ultra-smooth nano-coating offers maximum protection, safeguarding your lens in even the harshest of environments, while providing all the features you expect from Hoya filter technology.
