Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Hoya 77mm Super HMC Haze UV(0) Filter
Customer Review: Multi-Coating Not Very Durable and Smears Easily, But Nice Ring
Summary: 3 Stars
I own many lenses and uv filters, and the coating on the Super HMC pits and smears the easiest over time (some 4+5 star reviews mention the smearing???). The pitting is on only my Super HMC filters in the past 6 years, but not my multicoated filters from other brands. If it ever gets wet or you accidentally touch the glass, you'll never really get it clean again.
Everyone in these reviews talk about how necessary a UV(O) filter is, but doesn't review quality in terms of relativity to other products. I sometimes feel that reviews are becoming rationalizations for large purchases rather than thoughts from informed consumers.
I give it a star because I like the lightweight aluminum ring, although it can loosen up as it ages. Unfortunately, the heavier rings on B+W and Heliopan lock onto the lens too tight. Another star for the good price.
The Heliopans and B+Ws clean easily with a cloth and have have years of abuse without pitting, scratches, or smearing, and feel much more solid as they age. The Super HMC requires a chemical, which still doesn't quite get off all the smearing. In fact, over the years the cheaper MC version doesn't have the same problem, go figure.
The regular MC versions don't have the smearing and pitting problem so much, which is odd because they are cheaper. Go for the MC pro(1) version instead if you're on a budget, or buy B+W or Heliopan instead.
