This 46mm Red 25A Filter from Hoya is ideal for strong contrast improvement since it absorbs green and blue completely and enhances red. Clouds are dramatically improved almost to the mood of a thunderstorm. It is more effective in cutting through haze, and moonlight effects are easily accomplished. When used in combination with a polarizer, a sense of an impending storm can be created. It is also suited for infrared photography. Multi-coated to minimize reflection at the filter surfaces which reduces flare and ghosting. Hoya multi-coating results in about 97% light transmission. Color is truer and contrast is maximized.

For Black & White Film Significantly Boosts Contrast Can Be Used with Polarizing Filter Excellent Light Transmission Quality

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Will this also work as a UV besides adding a pink tone?

A: it is a UV filter but it also stops a bit of the visible blue just above the UV. It won't add pink, it just trims the excessive blue of cloudless skies.

Q: 2. Is this the correct size filter for a Nikon 105mm micro 2.8 lens?

A: Yes, this filter will fit the Nikon AF-S VR Micro-NIKKOR 105mm f/2.8G IF-ED Lens.

Q: 3. does this filter fit the Panasonic Lumix FZ80?

A: No, the Hoya 46mm Ultraviolet UV (C) Haze Multicoated Filter is not compatible for use with the Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ80 Digital Camera. The Panasonic DMC-FZ80 has 55mm filter threads. As such, I would instead recommend the Hoya 55mm Ultraviolet UV(0) Haze Filter, B&H # HOUVMC55, for your usage needs.

Q: 4. Will this fit canon sx60 has?

A: No. The Canon SX60HS does not have any filter threads to attach a filter to, so no, this will not fit.

Q: 5. I've got a Canon 70-300mm USM IS lens coming. Is this filter compatible with a lens hood? Thanks.

A: You shouldn't have any problems with this combination.

Q: 6. Will the lens cap fit when using this filter with the Tamron 150-600mm f5-6.3 Di VC USD (for Nikon)? is the multi-coating on both sides of the glass? would you purchase again?

A: My filter is used on the Sigma 150-600, but it should work the same on Tamron, and yes, the lens cap does fit. Not sure if the coating is both sides or not, but I have had no problems at all with flare, ghosting, or sharpness degradation. Seems like an excellent product and I would buy again.

Q: 7. I want to know the difference between the UV (c) and the UV alpha fitlerhttp://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/900341-REG/Hoya_calp77uv_77mm_Alpha_UV_Filter.html

A: The Alpha version is a standard type of UV filter, the C version is a thinner version with shallower filter threads. This version is popular on wider lenses where vignetting can be a potential issue.

Q: 8. Will this filter work on the Nikon coolpix B 700?

A: No

Q: 9. will this 67mm fit my Nikon AF-S 18-135MM lens? just wanting want to verify. thanks

A: Yes, the Nikon 18-135mm AF-S lens has a 67mm sized filter thread and is compatible with this filter.

Q: 10. Will this work with the coming Nikon NIKKOR Z 180-600mm f/5.6-6.3 VR Lens?

A: The Hoya 95mm HMC UV Filter would be compatible with the NIKKOR Z 180-600mm f/5.6-6.3 VR Lens.

We use this product for the railroad industry. i would really like to also as an option be able to get just the glass filter without the metal case around it. 5

Great filter for B&W film 5

Excellent glass and general build quality. Ideal for contrast / pop-out skies especially used in bright sunlight. Although you lose about 2 stops, this isn't necessary an issue when shooting in bright sun on film as it can aid with limited maximum shutter speeds of vintage film cameras and allow for the potential use of wider apertures. 5

The reason I choose Hoya’s filter is because of multi coating. Already have 77mm and pretty happy with it. No signs of reflection on the images. Well priced too. 5

I'm a photography student and I mostly do traditional film photography. I wanted to take some landscape and cityscape pictures, my professor recommended red filter so I bought this Hoya #25A Red Filter I loved the result and now I almost never take a picture without it. It just gives you nice contrast. 5

im in a dark room class now and was told that a red 25 would make the skys in a landskape pop so I figureed I would give it a try and what a difference it makes the sky is dark and the clouds look so nice and fluffy white. a must have when shooting black and white film. 5

I use the Hoya Red #25 filter primarily for digital infrared photography. There are many out there that are much lower in cost but always remember, you get what you pay for. Hoya has been my brand of filter for most of my IR work. Their quality is very good and consistent, and for the price, you can't go wrong. 5

Darkens and reveals clouds Changes pictures dramatically 5

I shoot large format B&W exclusively and use this on my Nikkor-M 300mm. Good filter for more extreme sky & cloud intensification. High optical quality at a reasonable price. Can't think of any shortcomings. I like Hoya and use their filter products on all of my lenses. 5
