Is this the Hoya HMC UV(0) or the Hoya HMC Super UV(0) 49mm filter made in Japan? If it is not specifically one of these two, I do not want it.

The one I bought was a 77mm and it was a "C". I'm pleased with the performance and if you Google around you can find test data where it scored quite nicely. http://www.lenstip.com/113.4-article-UV_filters_test_Description_of_the_results_and_summary.html

This is the 77mm Hoya filter. The product I received specified "Hoya HMC multicoated filter UV(C)" and is made in Philippines. I'm happy with its quality.

The one I bought was a77mm (C). I'm pleased with it's performance using it primarily to protect an expensive lens from wind-blown desert sand. If you Google around you can find info and test results where it did quite nicely. Try http://www.lenstip.com/113.4-article-UV_filters_test_Description_of_the_results_and_summary.html

The item is listed as a 77mm filter, not 49mm. It is not listed as 'super', but it is a digitally multi-coated glass filter. Good luck!

Hmmm not exactly sure I know the lens is made in japan. So it's not American made. But I have it and it has been good to me

I bought a 67mm UV filter and a 67mm Circular Polarizing filter. I bought the adapter from Amazon but it was sold by New West Direct. This adapter does screw onto the camera body as Jo Art has said and works great. From the imprint on the adapter ring it appears that the adapter is essentially a 51mm-67mm converter. After buying it I wondered whether it might have been better to buy a 51mm-56mm or 51mm-57mm or even a 51mm-58mm step-up adapter ring and use some of the filters I already have.

You can purchase the filter from Japanese online stores - and can try "Kenko.com". I have provided a more specific answer in another question that was asking about the purchase of the filters. Do check that out.

Hello Howard If you are purchasing the Hoya NDX 400, you will be looking at a 9 stop reduction. The filter is used very effectively in long exposure photography. Dave

Good question and something I had not looked for when I purchased the filter since it has become customary for all high end filters to be Multi-coated. I had to go to the Hoya website and saw that the filter is designated as DMC (Digital Multi Coated). I have always had good results with Hoya.

Mine just say JAPAN OPTICS. They do not seem to be multi-coated. I use the polarized filter to protect the lens, and it does a fine job of that at a low price. I would recommend a more expensive single filter for more serious work.

The Polarizer is made in Japan, the filter is thin compared to cheaper ones. i have not had any problem with Vignetting using the Nikkor 18-105; i have also used it with the 70-300 VR, and never noticed any problems.Steve

Japan from all I can find. I thought I saw it on the camera at some point. It is on the box and the extra lense I bought.

Thanks Anne. I will definitely look into this as I would like to get a UV filter for the lens.

The date code on mine is UV0420. There's not one mark or scratch on the lens, even though I use it often on the beach on windy days.

I had the 52mm it is 5/16" thick. Oh ! it made in Japan. I did had a few 77mm but not Hoya. Hoya made a good filter but not the best one.

By performing a Google Shopping search of 'nex7 uv filter' the items returning are almost all 49mm in diameter and you're inquiring about a 77mm filter. I'm going to GUESS and say no but 'your mileage may differ'. Hope this helps!

That I could not tell you. I still have my box for the lens and it has english and Japanese writing on it. The lens is a wonderful made and performing lens.

Skip the UV filter entirely and just keep the polarizer on the lens. UV filters are useless, while polarizers are the most useful filter you will ever have... both outdoors and indoors. Depending upon which polarizer you purchase, they will not subtract much if any more light than a UV filter, (the Hoya HD filters are the best, but expensive). I would never shoot anything without a polarizer.
