Following the last issue which focused on the mechanism of weathering, this time we will show you the actual cases of weathering on filter products.
| General ranking | Product name | Comment | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | ![]() |
HOYA HD UV | An excellent product with all the factors providing a wholly-balanced high performance. Transmittance and anti-reflective efficiencies are prominent. It is the most valuable camera filter adopting tempered glass and an anti-fouling effect. |
| 2 | ![]() |
B+W Xs-Pro Digital Ultraviolet MRC | Outstanding transmittance efficiency, but room for improvement in the UV-cut effect. This filter is therefore recommended for those for whom the UV cut effect is not the top priority. Also includes an anti-fouling effect. |
| 3 | ![]() |
Kenko Zeta UV L41(W) | A positive and generally well-balanced product. No faults are found, but it is expensive. |
| 4 | ![]() |
HOYA Ultraviolet UV PRO1 Digital | An excellent product with all the factors providing a wholly-balanced high performance. Buyer satisfaction guaranteed. |

HOYA HD Circular Polarizer | It is the champion miles ahead of the others. The only product able to block UV. It also has prominent transmittance efficiency. It must be the choice! |
| 2 | ![]() |
B+W Circular Polarizer Multi-Resistant coated(MRC) | The result indicates that it is a well-balanced product, but no match for HOYA Circular Polarizer. |
| 3 | ![]() |
Promaster Digital HGX Circular Polarizer | It was overall good, but the disappointment was its poor UV cut effect. |
| 4 | ![]() |
B+W Circular Polarizer Multi-coated | It was overall good, but the disappointment was its poor anti-reflective efficiency. |
| 5 | ![]() |
KENKO Zeta C-PL(MC) | The product is as thin as 0.8mm and as light as 10g, but unfortunately this seems to have resulted in an inferior basic performance. |
