I have HOYA ND1000 filter also and this one does about the same job even though it costs much less.

functional as a Hoya filter should be. Nice new design cuts a few mm off of the lens length compared to my old Hoya UV.

I think I actually see an improvement in glare and lens flares when using the Hoya, really impressed.

You don't find much of a 'consensus' online. There's even disagreement about some subjects just because 'trolls' like to disagree. Even among more civilized discussion, you'll seldom find consensus. This is particularly true with experts in any field. Doctors all have different opinions on how to treat a certain illness, chefs have different opinions on cuisine or ingredients, etc.Kase filters are an exception. The consensus among serious photographers is that they're somewhere between 'excellent' and 'the best filters I've ever used'. More specifically, there's virtually universal enthusiasm for the Kase Wolverine Magnetic Filter system. It's not often that high level quality products deliver serious convenience, but that's the prevailing opinion about the Kase Wolverine system. The terms 'revolutionary' and 'close to perfect' get tossed around frequently, particularly when discussing the ease of use relative to screw in filters.I have to concur. I don't consider myself a 'serious photographer'. I'm what is known as a 'content creator' that is trying to become a competent photographer. I've always used screw in filters and 'revolutionary' is an apt description here. This particular product is for the Canon EF lens system but I've also used them with a couple of my Nikkor Z lenses.Here's how they work--at least in general terms. You can use the filters with a circular adapter ring that attaches to the lens. This screws into the filter threads on the front of the lens. At this point, you can attached the circular filters magnetically. The magnetic filters are also stackable--put a filter onto the adapter ring, and then the magnets will do the work once you put *another* filter on top. Ease of use is off the charts. One thing I like about the system--I'm finding that I'll try out multiple filters to see which one works the best in situations where in the past I would have just gone with one. The transition with the Kase filters is downright seamless.The filter quality is also very good, but the mounting system is the star of the show. Everything feels very durable and well made (not a surprise from Kase) and they include a very nice leather-esque storage case. There's little to say negatively about these filters. I've heard a few people griping that the magnets need to be stronger but in my experience that's not an issue. To the contrary, my experience has been that the magnets are so strong that it sometimes takes a bit of effort to get them off. A game changing system for filter enthusiasts. Very highly recommended!!

Hoya HMC UV was my secondary UV filter. I have a B+W UV filter for my 24-70mm L Lens, but I wanted one for my Tokina 11-16mm wide. I didn't want to spend as much money as I spent for my B+W, so I gambled and took a chance with this one. Honestly, I don't see a difference in quality of my images. Perhaps there might be some if I really look into and compare, but overall, this one performs well.I also chose this one over the other filters because it was the slim frame one. I read that the normal ones might be too thick for a wide angle and you'll notice it in your shots.

Used for lens protection only. This is a good quality filter that you would rightly expect from Hoya. Better ones area available but at a premium price in comparison.

I have used HOYA filters for many years and have never been disappointed. The UV filter protects the lens and does not detract from the quality, sharpness or resolution of the Lens; all at a very reasonable cost.

A good filter to protect the lens, no lose of IQ as exoerienced with another Hoya skylight filter,
