Filters - Hoya (S)HMC vs Normal

Lawyon · 15th September 2005

Am looking at the Hoya Circular Polarizer filter. Just to check, does the HMC, Super HMC matters as oppose to the normal ones (ie. without HMC).

Thanks!

Will it make real practical significant effect? I dun know also, but theoretically, it should. BUT, if you use a normal one and when you get your picture, you will always tell yourself if only I have that....Good -> should have been better, bad one -> should have been good.

Instead of having this mental punishment everytime, I decided to buy the best filters I can afford nowadays.

If you're using an expensive lens, might as well get a good filter. I prefer B+W filters over the hoya ones, anytime.
