Review: an investment in protecting your equipment - This filter (62mm) arrived in good condition and protected with foam insulation inside a neat and compact container. The container being so compact is ideal for storage when the lens might not be in use and fits easily into a compartment in my camera bag. I bought this filter mainly as another layer of protection (a point of contention in photography circles, it should be noted, with some favouring you not putting other less expensive glass in front of an expensive lens) for my tamron 70-300mm lens which I use with a Nikon D7200. Historically, UV filters were there to protect the camera sensors and film from uv light at which would often reach problematic levels on sunny days or at high altitude. This isn’t really a problem for modern cameras which are simply not sensitive to light at this end of the spectrum. UV filters do, however, live on as a means of protecting lenses from scratches and abrasions. The lens filter was easy to attach and to clean and i have not noticed any degradation in the images taken with it on. The cap for my lenses fits neatly over the filter as if it were the lens alone. It is lightweight, thin (which helps minimise vignetting) and clear. The filter rim is black which is designed to minimise the risk of light reflecting off the edge and affecting the quality of your image. There is also a multi coating on the filter aimed at reducing flare and ghosting. I’ve not had a chance to test this 100% but it does seem to be making a difference. I feel I’m more confident and worry less about minor scratches and abrasions with this on the end of my lens though obviously you still have to be careful. I have tried a few other brands and keep coming back to Hoya. They’re more expensive, yes, but it really seems to be a case here of you get what you pay for. Overall: 5/5 and highly recommend. High quality, easy to use and good value for money.

I must admit that buying a filter is not by any means an easy feat. The range on websites such as Hoya are not by any means easily distinguishable. Would be nice if manufacturers use a table to identify the key differences between each of the types. Anyway, back to this Pro-1 Digital UV filter, it's very good. I read some of the reviewers complaining about smears etc. on the filter. If you handle with care you'd be ok. To make sure it's cleaned properly I've found its best to use a soft lint-free cleaning cloth. Microfibre cloth MAY be too harsh. The filter screws onto Canon EF 50mm f/1.2L USM Lens very easily. Unscrewing it is also very easy. Keep the protective case to hand and always put it in there if the filter were to be removed. The Hoya 72mm Pro-1 Digital UV Screw in Filter is very good because it has: Digital multi-coated filters to greatly reduce the appearance of lens flare and ghosting caused by reflections. black matte aluminum satin finish almite frame which is designed to reduce reflections. I quite like the black rimmed glass which is designed to reduce the chance of light reflecting off the edge. The Ultra thin filter frames help to avoid vignetting (especially for super wide angle lenses - not an image sue with Primes), the thin frame is also designed to hold a lens cap easily. In summary, the look and feel, the functionality, the ease of use, and the quality of the glass are all good. ## Features - Absorbs the ultraviolet rays which often makes outdoor photographs hazy and indistinct - Digital multi-coated filters greatly reduce the appearance of lens flare and ghosting caused by reflections - Black matte aluminum satin finish almite frame which reduces reflections - Equipped with black rimmed glass to reduce the chance of light reflecting off the edge - Ultra thin filter frames to help avoid vignetting on super wide angle lenses also designed to hold a lens cap - Straight knurling edge for non-slip, easy attachment and removal - While designed specifically for digital cameras the PRO1 Digital series can also be used on film cameras - To fit 52 mm thread size ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000BGZMSI | | Audio Recording | No | | Best Sellers Rank | 75 in Photography UV Filters | | Box Contents | Filter | | Brand | Hoya | | Brand Name | Hoya | | Coating Description | Multi Coating | | Coating description | Multi Coating | | Colour | Black | | Compatible Devices | objetivos de 52 mm | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 out of 5 stars 7,747 Reviews | | Enclosure Material | Glass | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00240660401452 | | Has Self-Timer | No | | Item Dimensions L x W | 5.2L x 5.2W centimetres | | Manufacturer | Hoya | | Manufacturer Part Number | YDUVP052 | | Material | Glass | | Model Name | Pro1 Digital UV Filter 52mm | | Model Number | YDUVP052 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Photo Filter Effect Type | Ultraviolet | | Photo Filter Size | 52 Millimeters | | Photo Filter Thread Size | 52 Millimetres | | Photo filter effect type | Ultraviolet | | Photo filter thread size | 52 Millimetres | | Screen Size | 52 Millimetres | | UPC | 240660401452 024066040145 | | Water Resistance Level | Not Water Resistant | | Water resistance level | Not Water Resistant | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Hoya - **Coating description:** Multi Coating - **Global Trade Identification Number:** 00240660401452 - **Material:** Glass - **Photo Filter Size:** 52 Millimeters - **Photo filter effect type:** Ultraviolet - **Photo filter thread size:** 52 Millimetres - **Product dimensions:** 5.2L x 5.2W centimetres - **UPC:** 240660401452 024066040145 - **Water resistance level:** Not Water Resistant ## Images ![Hoya 52mm Pro-1 Digital UV Screw in Filter - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51VuWfAB-kL.jpg) ![Hoya 52mm Pro-1 Digital UV Screw in Filter - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/717cWby0tQL.jpg) ![Hoya 52mm Pro-1 Digital UV Screw in Filter - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71oXotgkZgL.jpg) ![Hoya 52mm Pro-1 Digital UV Screw in Filter - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51zekMD9BPL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ an investment in protecting your equipment *by D***H on 15 April 2019* This filter (62mm) arrived in good condition and protected with foam insulation inside a neat and compact container.

I believe they are the best. These filters remove UV light which can be troublesome for photographs at high altitudes and by the sea. UV tends to give the image a cold, blue cast. Many digital cameras have creative adjustments which take care of this, film cameras cannot do this. And of course you can remove a colour cast with photo-processing software. But these filters are worthwhile using on all cameras, digital and film, because when there is no UV, they do nothing – except protect your valuable lens from scratches, salt spray, the acid in fingerprints, etc. Hoya filters are fantastic quality, both optically and mechanically. I am curious though at Hoya’s claim that these are specially designed for digital cameras. Why? The optics makes no difference whether on a digital or film camera (except of course the focal length). I use some of my old Nikon and Minolta film lenses on my digital cameras and get fantastic results. Anyway, I got this filter at half price and its great quality, so I’m happy! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.ke/products/49384588-hoya-52mm-pro-1-digital-uv-screw-in-filter](https://www.desertcart.co.ke/products/49384588-hoya-52mm-pro-1-digital-uv-screw-in-filter) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kenya* *Store origin: KE* *Last updated: 2026-11-09*
