Hoya 72mm DMC PRO1 Digital MultiCoated UV Ultra

Just get this filter
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
If you are looking for a great filter just get this one. It is very non reflective and slim enough for wide lens but still can fit a standard lens cap. (Dont go with the ’slim fit’ ones that need their own special caps, they fall off too easily.) Hoya makes some of the best glass there is. Check out their info on Ken Rockwell’s site.

Next time I’ll buy B+W
Rating:1 out of 5 stars
This filter arrived with surface flaws near the edges. It seems to attract dust like a magnet and is nearly impossible to clean streak-free. I have not had these problems with B+W filters.

Good products, but very easy to get dirty and hard to clean.
Rating:3 out of 5 stars
Water will leave spots on it and very hard to remove the spots. Probably B+W filters will be better.

Great lens, no smears, and cuts down flare
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
This is a great filter. Hoya makes awesome products I have always been happy with. This filter shows dirt and other smears easily–so it seems dirty more often. In fact, this helps you identify when you need to clean it, my other filter does not show it as often and therefore doesn’t get cleaned. I wipe this clean very easily. Great buy

Lens cap doesn’t fit very well
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
Why is it that you invest so much in a nice UV/Haze filter for your expensive lens, and these things don’t even come with their own lens caps that fit snug on the filter ring? The Canon lens cap doesn’t fit on this filter very well.

The filter itself is great. I really can tell the difference, but man, that lens cap issue is ruining it!

Very nice filter

I needed a high quality filter to go with my new Pentax 18mm-50mm f2.8 lens. I figured it didn’t make any sense to get a high quality lens and put a cheap filter on it. I’ve found out through past experience that putting a cheap filter on a digital lens does not always give you the results you want. This filter does not create any distortions that can appear with cheaper filters. I recommend this filter for anyone with a digital SLR. It’s a bit pricey but worth it.

Works Well With Canon EF-S 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 USM Wide Angle Lens

I purchased this UV filter to protect my Canon EF-S 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 USM Wide Angle Lens and it does the job without vignetting any photographs. It fits perfectly onto the 77mm lens width. I would like to buy a circular polarizer for my 10-22mm; however, I’d imagine I won’t be able to use both the circ polarizer AND UV filter without showing some vignetting.

I would definitely recommend this filter to anyone with a 10-22mm lens.

I needed a new higher quality UV filter for my new Canon 70-200mm f/2.8 L lens and decided to go with the Hoya DMC Pro1. I am very pleased with my purchase and would recommend this filter.

Good quality costs a bit more

This filter was for the Nikon 24-70 F2.8 zoom lens. I have seen some reflections in the lens from cheap filters on my other lenses, so not this time. The multi-coating and such seems to do what they say, so no ghosting/reflection or other type problems seen so far.

I bought this filter to attach to a Tokina 12-24mm super wide angle lens. I needed protection for the ominous objective lens, protection from flare common to this type of lens, and very thin profile to prevent vignetting when at the shortest focal length. The filter has performed exceptionally well in all categories. I have been able to make flare free pictures with the sun directly in front of the lens. There is no distortion, no vignetting, and I have only praise for this filter.

This is my second filter. First I broke , but my lenses are ok thanks to this filter. I am happy with this product.

A very good filter from Hoya to protect your lens. However, I do not see the difference between the digital version than the super coated. anyway, Highly recommended.

I ordered this filter to use on a Nikon 28-200mm zoom lens. It arrived promptly and fit the lens perfectly. UV is not as big a problem in the midwest as in some other areas but it is nice to know that the lens is protected from being scratched as well as protecting from UV rays.

impossible to clean

I can’t say anything bad about image quality.

I bought this filter to protect a very expensive lens, minimizing the loss in image quality due to flare. Well, I think I made a mistake, since this lens is VERY hard to clean, and so, you have to be extremely careful not to touch it or get it stained, because you’ll have to go through a lot to clean it.

You CAN’T use lens cleaner liquids, the filter will be left worse off because of it. I ended up using a not recomended liquid just to remove the stain left by the recomended cleaner, and I think It might have damaged the coatings.

I think a protective filter is meant to be cleaned constantly. This filter seriously diminishes your possibilities, since you have to handle it with more care than the lense itself.

Does the job
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
Nothing much to add – I bought this as protection for my Nikon 10-200mm VR lens. I haven’t seen any of the problems mentioned in other reviews; I just cleaned off a small finger smudge and it came up streak-free. No edge flaws either. Looking at Hoya’s website, the ‘digital’ designation seems to mean multicoating + the use of several careful construction techniques. Whatever, it all adds up to a filter which does its job, which is to protect and add nothing to the image I’m trying to capture.

Hoya DMC PRO1 filters are great!
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
Excellent filter, has reduced vignetting and sunspots completely, excellent build quality as well. Even better, with my Amazon Rewards points, this filter only cost me $4. Aside from cost, get one and you won’t be disappointed.

Not Worth the Trouble
Rating:2 out of 5 stars
The Hoya DMC Professional UV filter is built fairly well and the lens glass quality as well as coatings both serve a purpose specific to detail work but with a single caveat that causes this filter to lose value immediately. The thin lens is not only easy to break but, as the previous reviewer noted, it is so difficult to clean that the only place it seems useful is in a clean room with the requisite white suit.

If you can’t manage to frame a shot to compensate for vignetting and absolutely must purchase this filter, I feel no pity at all for the misery which will inevitably follow. Both HMC and Tiffen try their hardest to market ultra-thin coated UV (as well as a polarizer) filters to the people who want to buy any and all accessories for their shiny new camera’s. Don’t fall for the bait.

The differences between this filter and ones purchased at my local electronics store are like night and day.

When I took it out of the box I had to hold it up to the light to make sure it contained glass. It’s that clear.

I bought it to go with my first Canon L lens and it’s a great match with Canon’s premium lens.

I immediately ordered two more to go with my most used lenses.

A beautiful piece of glass!

High quality UV filter
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
The Hoya DMC Pro1 Digital UV filter is a top quality multi-coated filter that matches the quality of the lens that I use it for. Well made mechanically and optically, it goes onto the lens’s filter thread smoothly and has flawless optical performance. I have used and worked with optics for over three decades and want to highly recommend this filter for anyone who uses a high quality lens for a digital SLR. It provides both optical and mechanical protection – it is better to clean (or, worst case, replace) a $50 filter than a $1,000 lens!!! I’ve been using Hoya filters forever, and this one is the best I ever bought.

Good product for the price

This filter is well made and the price was very good. I have seen no distortion or color issues in the photographs taken so far.

Well design product. It’s worth the extra cash. I was a little concern about the low profile rim but it works reliably with my Nikon lens cap.

Pro quality filter for your pro quality lenses
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
The ideal filter to keep on your best lenses. I’ve dropped a couple of lenses in my time as a pro shooter, but the filter took the brunt of the fall and the saved the very expensive front element of my lens. The DMG coating is ideal for digital camera sensors.

They’re not cheap, but you do get what you pay for.

…very “thin” filter for use with ultra wide angle lens. Good price and great shipping…

EXCELLENT
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
For me, Hoya Pro line filters are the perfect balance between excellent optics and cost. I’ve used Hoya for many, many years and have never been disappointed. I can’t say this for all the filters I’ve owned. I choose to semi-permantely leave the filter on my lens for protection. I own several Canon “L” lens so I’m especially sensitive to sharpness. I’ve paid more and received less. I don’t think you’ll be disappointed.

Protect with PRO1 Digital Multi-Coated UV
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
Use this filter to always protect your Nikon 18-200 ED IF VR DX Lens. I always keep an UV filter attached to my lens to protect, protect and protect… You can easily replace the UV filter – you can’t easily repair your lens which is more costly. Choose the “Digital” rated filters as they are manufactured to work best with your digital equipment. Hoya is one of those trusted brands.

Great product

Use this on my Nikon D80 and it fits and works great. Hoya is a trusted name and you can trust this product. Great UV filter.

Doesn’t Degrade my images
Rating:4 out of 5 stars
I know there are less expensive UV filters out there, but having been burned by cheapies in the past, I decided to spend a little more and get a good one. Images with this filter come out crystal clear with no softness. I am basically using it for protection of the front element of my Canon “L” lenses, and not so much for UV protection, but protection doesn’t do me any good if the images aren’t sharp.

Good Glass
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
What’s not to like? It’s multi-coated, it’s threaded front and back (front to hold another screw-in filter or a lens hood, back to screw into lens), it’s perfectly flat, it doesn’t change the color of photographs, it’s neutral density, it’s thin enough not to cause vignetting or interfere with the flash for close-in work, it’s relatively cheap protection for a really expensive lens. Too bad it costs more than twice the cost of the same filter for my older DSLR camera, but then the new one is 10mm wider in diameter. And it’s way cheaper than the same kind of filter from a camera manufacturer. I like it.

Excellent value for a basic filter
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
Beats my much more expensive B&W haze filter by a wide margin. Glad I got this to get rid of haze and UV light for my digital photography. Can’t beat the value with this filter, sturdy build, fairly thin so probably (haven’t tried it yet) suitable for very wide angle lenses too.

Rating:5 out of 5 stars
There are cheaper filters, and there are more expensive filters. How much should I be paying?

Conventional wisdom says don’t hamper your expensive lenses with a cheap filter – so you want to avoid the el cheapos out there. But how good is “good enough”?

For my uses, I have been using the higher end Hoya filters – like the DMC and SMC versions – and have not been disappointed at all. I have two of this particular filter; one lives full time on my Canon 24-105 f/4L and the other lives on my Canon 10-22 f/3.5-4.5. Not a problem with either of them so far. I have also owned Tiffen (a little bit cheaper – but more flare), and B+W (more expensive, equal performance to the Hoya IMHO).

And I should mention that I use the 24-105mm as my walkabout lens and I like to be ready to shoot, so I rarely use a lens cap. I regard this Hoya filter as my “see-through lens cap”, and it does its job (protecting the lens itself) admirably, without a lot of flare or optical distortion (at least to my eyes). So far it has cleaned up easily and proven quite durable, as I tend to travel a lot and shoot in semi-harsh conditions.

I am sure that eventually I’ll have to replace my UV filter after the inevitable accident or incident. And when the time comes, it’ll be another Hoya filter, just like this one.

great for getting rid of flares, as well as protecting your lens element. I bought this to protect my Canon 28-135mm lens.

I always carry a protective UV filter on my lense and a couple weeks ago it finally paid off. One wrong move and the filter was hit and cracked but the lense is fine. So it does happen!

About the filter. Basically the filters are not the same and they should match the lense you use. Mine is Nikon 18-200mm and I can’t see any noticeable difference with and without the filter, so I think it’s a reasonable choice for that particular lense.

Expensive
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I bought this mainly for protection of my expensive lenses…..I have always read that putting a cheap glass filter defeats the quality of the lens you are using. So I decided to get the filter that I thought might be the best there is in the Hoya product line up and I am totally satisfied with this.

Totally pleased
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
I read that another reviewer put the Hoya Pro 1 DMC UV on his Tokina 11-16mm F2.8 and he was pleased, so when I needed a filter for that same lens, I listened to his advice and got that same filter. I am very pleased and plan to buy another one for the Canon 24-105mm F4L I am getting next week. Expensive lenses require high quality filters, and this Hoya Pro 1 does the job for me!

Not much to say, which is a good thing!
Rating:5 out of 5 stars
Honestly, I didn’t even remember I had this on my camera until the email requesting me to review it came up, and that’s a good thing! I cannot notice any degradation in the quality of my photos when using this filter. I am shooting outside often, so the UB protection is great, but I mainly use it to protect my lens since I’m constantly running around in manufacturing plants and assembly yards.
