The Hoya HMC 72mm UV (C) Lens Filter is a clear filter that helps to absorb UV light and reduce the bluish cast of daylight. No additional coloration or contrast is provided, allowing you to pair this filter with others.  The Hoya HMC 72mm UV (C) Lens Filter  is also useful as a general protective filter to leave on lenses at all times. Filters help to reduce dust and moisture from reaching your lens element and provide additional protection in case of drops or situations where scratching could occur.   Hoya HMC filters are multi-coated for reducing flare, ghosting, and reflections on the filter surface. As a result, over 97% light transmission is possible, providing you with additional contrast and high color fidelity.
