Product Description

This SKYLIGHT 1B filter reduces the excessive bluishness that frequently occurs in outdoor color photography, especially in open shade under a clear, blue sky. The absorption peak is in the range, which corresponds to the film's green spectrum. This means outstanding outdoor shots with superb color balance and clarity under all conditions. Also keeps skin tones free of colored reflections from nearby objects such as the shade of trees.

Works perfectly; I always keep it on. Ordered for my Sony a77, checked the side of my lens to make sure it would fit and it does. This was actually my second purchase because I dropped my camera by mistake and the old one cracked - saving my lens, doing a great job. Very pleased with this.

This filter is excellent protection for your lenses. Ordered two and received one due to Amazon stepping on their crank. However that does not detract from the fact this is an excellent value and great filter for your lenses.

Hoya is a great value methinks!

Reviewed in the United States on November 26, 2013

Size: 46mmVerified Purchase

Hoya is a great value methinks! Bought this for a small video camcorder. But, this review is for Hoya filters in general. Have been photographing for 20+ years now and have generally stuck to Hoya filters. Good performance for the dollar. A good middle of the road brand. The more expensive brands may get you slightly better performance, but that is not always easy to tell with the naked eye. If you are looking for a reasonably priced brand of filters, would suggest you give Hoya's a shot.

Great outdoor filter

Reviewed in the United States on May 22, 2014

Size: 72mmVerified Purchase

I feel this is a far better filter than a UV filter for sunny outdoor photography. Trees are greener, the sky bluer and the filter takes the edge of harsh mid-day sun.I use it all the time though, not just for outdoor stuff.
This filter is not completely correctly named here on Amazon. It is a "Skylight 1B" filter.

Hoya HMC Skylight 1B filter

Reviewed in the United States on May 21, 2008

Size: 52 millimeterVerified Purchase

The filter is well built and performs well. I must say that I bought the filter mostly for protection of the lens and did not expect the reduction of blue shades of sky and water which, in reality, is exactly its design purpose. I have not detected any distortions, vignette, or flare with the filter.

Good product

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 1, 2020

I bought this filtèr as protection for the front element of the lens. It's slim, doesn't affect the colour rendition or definition of the lens and was good value for money.

un bon produit essentiellement neutre

Reviewed in France on November 12, 2015

Size: 46mmVerified Purchase

Un filtre, qui est supposé rehausser très légèrement la saturation des couleurs ainsi que le contraste, en supprimant le voile atmosphérique, mais qui essentiellement protège l'objectif. On peut donc le laisser en permanence. Je l'utilise sur un objectif Sigma 30mm, le résultat est surtout neutre, CF photos jointes : la première est prise avec le filtre, deuxième non. Appareil Sony Alpha 6000, diaphragme 11, ISO 100, vitesse 200 pour la première et 250 pour la deuxième. Autrement dit le filtre fait baisser la lumière d'une vitesse. Pour ma part je ne vois aucune différence entre les deux photos : donc le filtre est vraiment neutre !

Il est livré dans une boite plastique de protection. Un peu cher toutefois à mon goût, mais la fabrication est de qualité.

I purchased it to protect my panasonic camcorder lens but found it to be useless as It gave severe reflections and now have stopped using it but as filters go on other cameras Film/DSLRs they are great and will always use them to protect lenses as they are much cheaper to replace than a prime lens..
