52 mm Alpha II Multi-Coating Protector

The HOYA 52 mm Alpha II Multi-Coating Protector is a clear glass filter with six layers of multi-coating and a thin matte black frame. It transmits 93.7 % of light while reducing reflections and glare. The front threads allow stacking of additional accessories. It is intended for photographers at any level who want to shield their lens from dust, scratches and everyday wear.

Who this suits, who should look elsewhere

This filter suits photographers seeking an economical protector that maintains optical clarity and minimises vignetting on wide-angle lenses. It is not for buyers who require weather-sealing, water-repellent or oil-repellent coatings. It is also not for users needing a filter with a thicker frame for extra impact resistance or a different thread diameter.

Installation ease and common issues

The lightweight, compact design with standard 52 mm threads screws onto the lens quickly and the thin frame lowers the chance of vignetting. The main issue is cross-threading if the filter is not aligned carefully during attachment. Over-tightening can make removal difficult, so finger-tight is recommended. Dust trapped between the filter and lens element can affect image quality if not cleaned before fitting.

Questions about this item

What lens thread size does the 52mm Alpha II Protector fit?

The filter screws onto any lens with a 52mm front thread, which is marked on the lens barrel or in its specifications.

Will the thin frame prevent vignetting on my wide-angle zoom?

The slimmer matte-black frame is designed to reduce vignetting risk on wide-angle lenses compared with thicker filters.

How can I verify the 93.7% light transmission is performing after I mount the filter?

Shoot a uniform grey card or clear sky at the same exposure with and without the filter; the histogram should show virtually identical brightness, confirming the rated transmission.
