Summary:
-
When we compare the radiation transmission chart of this filter and a regular piece of glass we can see that, in the visible range, the glass has a higher transmission rate than the filter. Only in the UV radiation reduction category did the Hoya receive somewhat better results. Objectively looking at these results it is hard to even call it a filter. For our 39 Polish zloty we could get 40 square centimeters of window glass. Is it worth paying that much? You have to ask your window repairman…
