Product Description

Hoya PRO1 Digital is a multi-purpose fine-weather filter, which absorbs the ultraviolet rays, which often makes outdoor photographs hazy and indistinct. This multi-purpose, fine-weather filter for color as well as black and white films also serves as a permanent lens protector.

Customer Reviews

Great filter and nice design5
Very clear and non reflective. Hoya has done a great job on this filter. Thin rim keeps it from vignetting when used on wide angle. Perfect for digitals with zoom lens. Works great on my D80.

You can't go wrong with Hoya Pro 1 filters.5
Some people prefer B+W filters, and that's fine with me. I say that Hoya makes the best of the best, but at this level, the top offering from either brand is supurb. There have been several Hoya Pro 1 filter lines over time, and all are outstanding. Pro 1, Super Pro 1, or the newer digital Pro 1 lines are all as good as a filter gets.

Whatever you do, don't put a cheap filter in front of an expensive lens.

Quality filter, can be used with Canon SX10IS5
I purchased this for my new Canon SX10IS, not being sure it was compatible. With a small amount of pressure it seems to have threaded itself on ok, and can still be removed and re-attached with ease, although it doesn't screw on tight, but instead continues to rotate as if the threads have been stripped.. but they haven't, which is a little weird..

Anyway this filter is fully functional, and additionally has a thin rim which helps avoid vignetting with the SX10IS lens. I intend to keep it mounted pretty much permanently. The lens cap that comes with the SX10IS is fully compatible with the filter.
