HOYA Filter

Hoya 58mm Alpha II Multi-Coating Protector Filter camera filter

SKU CH-HVZZ-524MA

A 58mm protective camera filter with six coating layers and 93.7% light transmission

  • Protects lens from dust and scratches
  • 7% light transmission keeps images bright
  • Six coating layers reduce flare and ghosting
  • Thin frame prevents vignetting on wide angles
  • Front threads allow stacking or lens caps

What the 58mm Alpha II protector does

This 58mm filter screws onto the front of a lens to shield the glass from dust, scratches and accidental contact. It is intended for photographers who want a permanent, transparent guard that does not alter exposure or colour balance.

Build quality and daily handling

The thin matte-black frame reduces vignetting on wide-angle lenses and keeps front threads accessible for lens caps or hoods. Six layers of multi-coating on Hoya clear glass deliver 93.7% light transmission while suppressing flare and ghosting in backlit scenes.

When the upgrade makes sense

The Alpha II replaces an unprotected front element or a basic single-coated filter that cuts contrast. The jump is worth it when you shoot frequently in harsh light or dusty conditions and need the higher transmission and thinner profile without stepping up to a premium-priced series.

Highlights

  • Protects lens from dust and scratches
  • 7% light transmission keeps images bright

Questions about this item

What thread size does the 58mm Alpha II protector filter use to screw onto a lens?

The filter uses a standard 58mm front thread to mount directly onto compatible lens barrels.

How thick is the frame on the Alpha II filter and will it cause vignetting on wide-angle lenses?

The thin matte black frame is designed to minimise vignetting and avoid obstructing the field of view on wide-angle lenses.

How do I install the filter correctly and what common mistake should I avoid?

Screw the filter onto the lens threads gently until snug; avoid cross-threading by aligning the threads carefully before turning.
