Hoya engineers have developed an antistatic coating that acts like a force field around the filter to repel dust. Perfect for environments where dust is common, these filters require less frequent cleaning and maintenance than traditional filters. Additionally, the hardened, antistatic top-layer is water repellent, stain and scratch resistant, and cleans easily when smudges or fingerprints are introduced to the surface. Circular polarizing filters allow photographers to achieve creative, in-camera, effects not possible after the image is created. A polarizing filter simply filters out unwanted reflections from non-metallic surfaces such as water and glass in addition to light reflecting off moisture and pollution in the atmosphere. By rotating ultra-smooth filter you can select just the right amount of filtration needed to achieve the creative effect. The EVO antistatic professional filters are made in Japan using hand selected silicates that are carefully smelted and blended to yield high performance optical glass. Hoya then uses extreme care and precision to apply the improved 16-layer super multi-coating formula which greatly reduces or eliminates reflections on the surface of the glass and yields very high light transmission rates. This means the filter has virtually no effect on the color balance, contrast, or clarity of the final image beyond its polarizing effects. The filter features a lightweight, two-piece, very low-profile aluminum frame to house the glass. The low-profile frame eliminates vignette when used on ultra-wide-angle lenses.

I received this filter today for use on my new 5D MkIII on which I had a B&W e-Pro UV filter. Just to check the fit, it placed the filter over the UV filter but DID NOT tighten up. When I went to remove it, I could not do so! Would not budge on iota. After trying everything I could think of, I found a tool I had that could grab the edge of the static part of the polarizer filter and nudge it loose. Nothing obvious wrong in examining it. Since I am leaving on a trip, I cannot return it yet but will plan to when I return for a replacement. Of course, I cannot tell if it is the B&W or the Hoya filtr that is the problem. Will certainly use the utmost care when placing this filter over the lens and will not tighten it at all.

I really like this filter, its low profile and antistatic properties. Just recently I did a face plant into a old concrete foundation while photographing. My nose and this polarizer did not fair so well. I like this filter so well I bought another to replace the old one.

Mine has numerous scratches and it has been exposed to no more than usual conditions. I would not buy another filter from this company.

I have not yet taken any photos with this filter, purchased for my Canon 85mm f/1.4, so I can't comment on how effective it is. But I will say that the grip on the stationary part of the filter is so thin and narrow that I was unable to unscrew it from the lens. Installing the lens was slightly difficult in my attempt to avoid cross threading. It snugged up more quickly that I expected so it may have been cross threaded in spite of my efforts. With the expense of this setup, I didn't want to force anything. I ended unscrewing it using a plastic filter wrench which worked easily. I do wish Hoya (and other filter manufacturers) would put some slightly raised nubs on the threaded grip portion of the filter for easier screwing on and off. I had no problems with a Hoya ... MoreI have not yet taken any photos with this filter, purchased for my Canon 85mm f/1.4, so I can't comment on how effective it is.

I do wish Hoya (and other filter manufacturers) would put some slightly raised nubs on the threaded grip portion of the filter for easier screwing on and off. I had no problems with a Hoya UV filter, so the problem stems from the greater complexity of the Polarizer assembly with its very narrow gripping ring. My experience with other Hoya CP filters leads me to believe that this will perform beautifully optically.
These filters are amazing! They have all the protective coatings of the any high quality filter PLUS their Anti-static feature keeps them a lot cleaner and super easy to clean. I highly recommend these filters.
Outdoor photography is great when using a polarized filter on your lens, it will enhance your photo as much or as little just by rotating the filter. It also protects your lens at the same time and this model resist dust and dirt particles.
Hoya's EVO Antistatic filters are great. They protect my lenses and are soooo easy to clean. It's like dirt just doesn't stick to these filters. They are a nice thin profile, so no vignetting. They are great.
Got this to go on my Nikon 70-200 as I wanted something to protect the lens, plus I shoot most of the time with a polarizer. I've been using used the non polarized anti static filters for a while on other lenses and have am very happy with how clean the filter stays. I shoot mainly outdoors, most of my dirt tends to be dust or pollen. If anything does end up on there, it comes off easily with a blower.
have never found a cpl that I could fit lens cap on.this is the solution.I like the low profile, ease of turning without backing outand truly dust repelling (always carry a good cloth anyway)Hint-take a drop of nail polish to mark the lightest or darkest setting on any cpl nd etc...Also needed the most light transmitting filter.in low light very important
Shot at Thailand Phuket's famous airport where airplanes land just over your head near the beach. During one landing I forgot to turn the exposed camera lens away from the jet blast and the camera got sandblasted :) Camera body (Canon R5) not even a scratch, but this filter got mega-scratched. OK, this was a bit extreme, but I expected it to hold up better.
