Hoya Pro1 Digital Circular PL
Colour and Contrast Enhancement
Light rays which are reflected by any surface can become polarised so polarising filters are used to select which light rays enter your camera lens. CIRCULAR PL filters allow you to remove unwanted reflections from non-metallic surfaces such as water, glass etc. They also enable colours to become more saturated and appear clearer with better contrast. This effect is often used to increase the contrast and saturation in blue skies and white clouds. HOYA's polarising filters do not affect the overall colour balance of a shot.

Hoya filters
HOYA Corporation has diversified its operations by capitalizing on the potential of optoelectronic technologies since its establishment in 1941 as Japan's first specialty manufacturer of optical glass. Today, Hoya is active in four fields of business: Information Technology business makes mask blanks and photomasks for semiconductor devices and liquid crystal panels, optical lenses, and glass memory disks for hard disk drives. The Eye Care provides eyeglasses and operates contact lenses retail shops, as well as makes intraocular lenses for cataract surgery. The Life Care Business provides endoscopic system. The Imaging System produces SLR/compact digital cameras and interchangeable lenses as well as digital camera lens module and microlens.
The Production Process of HOYA Filters
Each Hoya filter is the result of research, know-how and complete precision facilities backed by full quality control.
Before production starts, controls are first programmed into a computer. Then the finest materials are carefully mixed by an automatic V-blender for absolute uniformity. After being melted with highly sophisticated equipment, this material is then precision molded with automatic direct pressing equipment. The pressed blanks are next slowly and continuously cooled to remove strain, and are then polished by high-speed, double-surface polishing machines that assure precise surface quality and perfect flatness.
Next is the coating process which improves the filter light transmission ability. And the transmission characteristics are checked by Spectro-Photometer, after which an ultrasonic cleaner removes all foreign matter from the surfaces. Only after passing all of Hoya's quality tests are the filters assembled, finished and made ready for shipment to customers throughout the world.

This is a nice filter, smooth operation, works very well. You can see the fine green-ish coating on the lens surface. The coatings reduce flare and reflection which allows more light to pass through to the sensor/recording media. The circular orientated filter is matched to today's digital cameras, and is especially important if your camera has auto-focus.
The polarizing filter reduces reflection in the scene, darkens blue sky, brightens white clouds. I also enjoy the deeper saturation of colors due to removal of surface reflections. My wife and I just toured the south-central part of our state imaging the beautiful colors of fall here in Alaska. True leaf colors show through in landscapes. Better skin tones in portraits. Even pet photos (and wild animal photos of moose, bears, and bald eagles) are inhanced due to less light reflecting from their fur/feather coats. Just remember that the polarizer cuts light by half, therefore you must compensate by increasing exposure one stop. Most cameras do that automaticlally and it is not a problem at all, just something to know and understand.
I definately recommend this filter to everyone who owns a camera, both hobyists and professionals. You can't beat Hoya, especially their multi-coated and super multi-coated filters! I have other filters made by Hoya and these are very high quality. Paying for the super multi-coatings is well worth the investment.
Pros: doesn't visibly impact image sharpness (using this with a pretty sharp lens, the Pentax DA 16-85); no noticeable color cast; frame well built, screws in and turns smoothly.
Cons: coatings scratch easily. I'm saying this in comparison to both a expensive filter, a b+w that's twice the price, but also a comparable Hoya ND and a Haida ND filter, both in about the same grade and fully coated.
I ended up choosing Hoya as I've read an objective review that lists Hoya as the best UV filter and 2nd best CPL filter brand (the best CPL brand was twice the cost, and I could not justify that as the results were very close).
The quality of the filter is amazing. It is crystal clear (as in no defects or flaws on the filter surface - obviously it's not perfectly clear but somewhat dark like any polarized element) and the pictures it allowed me to take made me very happy.
Yes, more than 100 bucks on a filter is crazy, but in terms of circular polarizers this one is on the cheaper end (and I mean cheap in price, not quality).
This is fantastic filter and I recommend it to anyone.
I'm using the filter on two different Nikon professional-series lenses, and am pleased that the filter matches their optical capabilities.

Je l'ai utilisé toute la semaine et ai même fini par oublié qu'il était en place.
Solide, se visse/dévisse bien sur l'objectif et pas de zone sombre gênante sur mes photos.
Apparemment on peut régler l'intensité en pivotant la bague, mais je n'ai constaté aucune différence, ce qui ne m'a en aucun cas gênée dans l'utilisation de ce filtre.
