Hoya Softener 1.0 Filter (62mm)
- Product Code: ga116459
-
The 62mm Softener 1.0 Filter from Hoya is a filter with randomly arranged drops of water on the surface of optical acrylic. The pattern subtly scatters light resulting in a picture with a clear focus and a soft gradation, and this effect is especially evident in an object with a point light source, like a candle or match.

Related Questions and Answers
Q: 1. Does this filter fit on a Canon EPS 10-18 lens?
A: You shouldn't have any problems with this combination.
Q: 2. Is this a thin filter? What is the thickness of it?
A: Although Hoya does not publish the thickness of the NXT Plus Circular Polarizer, it would not be the thinnest option from Hoya. You may want to look to the Hoya 72mm HD3 Circular Polarizer Filter, BH # HOCPHD372 which is less likely to cause vignetting on wide-angle lenses. https://bhpho.to/3LXhNmp
Q: 3. how many f stops of light transmission are reduced?
A: It has a filter factor of 2 to 4 (1 stop minimum, 2 stop maximum).
Q: 4. I do NOT want a slim profile filter. I am only interested in a 67mm CP filter. Is this a slim profile filter? thanks
A: The Hoya 67mm NXT Plus Circular Polarizer Filter is not a wide filter. It is a thin frame filter. This one is considered more of a standard frame, BH #BWCPB67 (https://bhpho.to/3WTjKsY).
Q: 5. Thickness of this filter when it is alone and after it is mounted? BP @ WC
A: The thickness of the filter frame is 5mm (not including the threads that attach to the front of the lens).
Q: 6. Hello,I noticed the only difference between this Hoya circular polarizer and last years model is this one is not coated. What is the benefit of a non-coated filter?Sincerely,Daniel
A: The main benefit of a non-coated filter is a lower price point. A multi-coated filter will provide dramatically improved light transmission and resistance to glare. If you have the option to spend more for multi-coating, I would definitely recommend it.
Q: 7. Does this filter rotate?
A: Yes, the circular polarizer rotates. it enable you to add contrast to colors outdoors, and remove the majority of unwanted reflections form non-metallic surfaces such as water or windows. Keep in mind that if you have a powerful light source 9such as the sun) in the frame, it will eliminate any polarization effects.
Q: 8. Is this the same filter as the Hoya NXT Circular Polarizer filter, just updated?
A: According to Hoya, the NXTPlus filters are improved over the NXT-series because they "use better glass, an improved multi-coating process, more multi-coated layers for better light transmission, AND add a new 'Waterproof' Top-coat to repel water quickly away from the surface which makes it easier to clean and more fun to use."

Q: 9. What is the difference between the NXT and the NXT PLUS filter?
A: The plus it multicoated to reduce ghosting and flares and it has top knurling to provide a more textured grip when mounting or removing it from a lens.
Q: 10. Will this filter Vignette image corners on a full frame camera with Canon EF 17-40 f4 L lens?I don't see the thickness in the specs, will 5mm work at 17mm? Thanks.
A: There is a possibility that this filter will vignette on the 17-40mmf/4 L lens. As an alternative, you may want to consider this item, B&H# HOCPSMC77, http://bhpho.to/1f9telF.
