HOYA Filter

HOYA Filter 55mm Alpha II Multi-Coating Protector Filter

SKU CH-HXKW-PRDEA

A 55 mm clear protector filter with six-layer multi-coating and 93.7 % light transmission

  • Hoya clear glass protects lens from dust and scratches
  • Six multi-coating layers cut reflections and glare for clearer images
  • 7% light transmission keeps photos bright and colour-accurate
  • Thin matte black frame reduces vignetting on wide-angle lenses
  • Front threads allow stacking or cap use without removing filter

Essential Lens Protection

The 55mm Alpha II Multi-Coating Protector Filter uses Hoya Clear Glass with six layers of multi-coating to shield front elements from dust, scratches and daily wear. It threads directly onto 55mm lenses and adds front threads for stacking or a lens cap.

Sustained Optical Clarity

Six coating layers maintain 93.7% light transmission during extended shooting, keeping reflections and glare low without shifting colour balance. The thin matte-black frame prevents vignetting on wide-angle lenses even after hours of continuous use.

Upgrade From Uncoated or Alpha I Filters

Photographers moving from basic uncoated protectors or the earlier Alpha I gain noticeably higher transmission and reduced ghosting. The slimmer frame also eliminates corner shading that thicker rings introduce on wider focal lengths.

Questions about this item

Does the thin matte black frame and 93.7% light transmission affect heat or power during all-day shooting?

The filter has no electronics, so it generates no heat and draws no power; the 93.7% transmission simply preserves exposure brightness.

What thread size must my lens already have for this 55mm filter to mount directly?

Your lens needs a 55mm front filter thread; the filter screws on and also provides front threads for a cap or hood.

Will the slim frame prevent vignetting when I keep using my older wide-angle lens?

Yes, the thinner frame design is made to reduce vignetting and avoid obstructing the field of view on wide-angle lenses.
