5 Stars
Works well without causing any artifacts or vignetting on the Sony FE 4/24-105 G OSS lens.
Had tried another UV filter that I had got free with the lens purchase on my Sony FE 4/24-105 G OSS lens and found that it was causing some vignetting even though it was a slim filter. Did some research and came across a site that did extensive testing of UV filters that were priced cheap to pretty high and the reviewer there too said that he was very surprised at how good this Hoya 77mm HMC UV (C) filter was and is one of the best even when compared to the pricier filters. I have used this very same filter (albeit 72mm) on my Sony 2.8/16-50 SSM lens used on my A77 camera and never had any issues or complaints.Based on my personal experience and the review I mentioned, I bought this filter and was not disappointed. It did not cause any vignetting and the images are sharp and though it is now said that a UV filter is not really required for digital cameras it just feels safe and not much of an investment to just have it on for a peace of mind that the lens will be generally protected from minor nicks and scratches. Though this can be easily achieved by just having the lens hood on at all times.Well all that said and done, I'm going to have this on my lens forever!

Definitely a step up from the amazon basics and ultra cheap filters available. Perfect right fitment on my Sony prime lens for extra protection while not noticeably detracting from picture quality. I’d say it’s the best value under $50 for a filter, so if you want to spend a bit more to get a bit more you may want or opt for the pro 1 Hoya
