A redesigned version of the HMC UV(C) filter, the Hoya 67 mm UX II UV filter with water resistant coating is now included in the new standard class UX II series together with the UX II CIR-PL filter. The UX II UV filter is an entirely new concept design product that offers high-quality standards with fundamental and modern functionality and is aimed at entry-level consumers.

"UX" in the series name stands for "User eXperience", to indicate all the experiences that users will acquire through using these filters and all that comes with them. By naming this series UX, we aim to offer users better individual experiences through all the activities connected with photography.

Though not visible to the naked eyes, UV rays may affect the image when shooting in locations like seaside or mountainous environments, resulting in blurred contours or faded and whitish images.

UV filters can suppress the UV spectrum contained in daylight that mainly causes poor effects on the images. This filter can be used with both film and digital cameras and assures more vivid images. In addition, by keeping it constantly attached, this filter serves as everyday lens protection.
