About

A Circular Polarizer is the must have filter for every photographer and Hoya’s NXT Plus is a powerful upgrade to the best-selling NXT series. The new filter employs a waterproof top-coat to Hoya’s polished smooth "Clear" glass for easy cleaning. Dirt, smudges and water wipe away easily. Using 10 layers of Hoya’s patented anti-reflection (AR) multi-coatings your images show improved contrast, color and sharpness. The polarizing film is optical thin with a filter factor of 1.72 for faster AF and improved viewing over standard PL films.

Construction

Hoya’s high quality polarized glass is mounted into a precision milled aluminum slim frame, making it lightweight and perfect for your wide-angle lenses. Despite the slim profile the filter includes front filter threads so you can attach additional filters or your protective lens cap.

Why use a Polarizer

Polarizers do one thing: Remove Reflections. Think sunglasses for your lenses. By removing reflections, you reveal the color, texture and detail beneath. So, leaves are greener, skies are bluer, and the beautiful rocks at the bottom of that secret mountain lake are revealed. CRPL’s are also great for removing reflections from car windows, painted surfaces, or just about any non-metallic surface. Depending on the lighting conditions the effect can be dramatic or subtle but it never hurts to pop it on and give it a try.

Circular polarizers are easy to use too. Once attached to your lens simply rotate the outer ring of the filter while looking through your viewfinder or LCD screen until you achieve the right amount of reflection control. When the colors and detail look right, take the picture.

I've used these filters before, and they hold up well, but my last one is +/- 5 years old and was getting a bit scuffed. Nice to have a reliable new filter!

NXT Plus Circular Polarizer

I have used Hoya filters for a long time but this is my first circular polarizer filter. As ordered online and arrived on time. Packaged very well for shipment. Installed and removed several times to ensure I could remove once on for awhile. Came off easily each time. Learning how to get correct angles with sun for it to work as described. Would recommend to others. Purchased 67mm and 72mm filters.

NXT Plus Circular Polarizer

Found filter to be as advertised and have had no issues with two different lenses I put them on. My first circular filters and am still learning how to use accurately. Excellent packing and arrived on time.

NXT Plus Circular Polarizer

The filter factor for this filter is actually 3.25x, not 1.7x. This corresponds to a 1.7 stop loss of light. f-stop light loss is computed from the filter factor; they are not the same. The information in the product description is confusing and misleading.

NXT Plus Circular Polarizer

Good so far Only had it a week and so far so good. Can see a difference in my photos already.

NXT Plus Circular Polarizer

Better than NXT version I have the NXT in a smaller size and it works great but this one is a nice too. I like that it now has multicoatings which the NXT doesn't.

NXT Plus Circular Polarizer

Great results Was shooting with a friend that had one of these filters and her pictures looked way better than mine so I bought one. It really works and I am really happy I have one now when I go shooting. It is crazy how it helps the colors look better.

NXT Plus Circular Polarizer

NXT Plus Circular Polarizer

Pretty good but not the best Got this while on vacation cuase I forgot my filters at home. This is a good filter but I have others I like better. It's will made but I like my B+W brass rings better. If you can afford more buy B+W

NXT Plus Circular Polarizer

Muche better pitcures This is my first polarizer and got it after going to a workshop where I got to test one out. Bought hoya on a recommendation and I am really happy so far. My pictures just look better when I'm using it. Love that I get to dial in the right amount of reflections, really cool.

NXT Plus Circular Polarizer

Does the job Just wanted a good polarizer and not break the bank. Not the cheapest filter but definalty good for the money.

NXT Plus Circular Polarizer

Dirty filter out of box I just got this filter off Ebay and it was dirty in the box. I am pretty sure it was sealed when I got it but a new filter shouldnt need to be cleaned when it's brand new. I was able to clean it myself so I'm keeping it but Hoya needs to check it's QC.

Store owner replied: Hi Pak, That is very uncommon and a bummer to hear. Give us a call at 800-421-1141 and ask for Glenn. We will do our best to make it right.

Happy with filter It works well on my Sony lenses. Makes my landscape pictures look better most of the time. But sometimes I cant see that much of a difference.

NXT Plus Circular Polarizer

Big step up from NXT I have the original NXT polarizer but needed a larger size for a new lens. Bought the Plus because it has multi-coatings which the regular NXT does not. It is a very nice upgrade and I can see a slight difference between the two

NXT Plus Circular Polarizer

Absolutely love the effect So Cool to see this work through the viewfinder. My pictures look so much better now. Love this filter.

NXT Plus Circular Polarizer

Hard to clean but great results #1 - the filter gives me great results and I like that it's easy to get on and off my lens #2 - But I put it in my pocket when I was moving spots something got on it and I can't seem to get it off. Now, I'm afraid to use it because it mught hurt my pictures.

Store owner replied: Hi Dewindt, Sorry to hear the filter is not cleaning up as easy as it should. We can help. Give us a call at 800-421-1141 and ask for Glenn. He will make sure you get that filter back up and working for you.

Good for the money This is a really good filter for the money. I lke the color and clarity it gives my photos. I recommend it.

NXT Plus Circular Polarizer

So far pretty good!! Quality of the images are really good! It's easy to use. love it so far.

NXT Plus Circular Polarizer

Incredible results!! never had a polarizer before and was amazed at what a difference it makes in my landscape shots. This filter is incredible. Don't have anything else to compare to but I'm really happy with my purchase.

NXT Plus Circular Polarizer

Great filter I have had several polarizers over the years and this ranks up there among the best. Thin mount, good glass, and I like that it has multi-coatings at a reasonalbe price. Most of my other polarizers do not and they cost about the same.

NXT Plus Circular Polarizer

Amazing results The filter is just a tool and this one does the job. My final pics would not look as good without it. Worth the investment to get better pictures.

NXT Plus Circular Polarizer

Another Wonderful Product from Hoya I have been buying Hoya filters for years and this is a very nice polarizer. Well made and thin. The colors look great and it is sharp. Well done again Hoya.

NXT Plus Circular Polarizer

Go to filter This filter will give you photos just as good as better filters at twice the price.
