Summary:
-
We were surprised by the filter’s performance as far as the visible range transmission is concerned. The HTMC coatings didn’t fail in decreasing flares. Unfortunately, the UV radiation reduction was just mediocre. This was also the only filter that couldn’t be easily cleaned with a dry, clean cloth after being splashed with a little bit of water.
