Summary:
-
Surprisingly, the enhanced HMC Super version received one point less than the HMC series. The reason might very well be a miniscule calibration measuring fault in our spectrophotometer. Otherwise, there really aren’t any really significant differences between these two filters. The only real difference is the price. You need to pay 30 Polish zloty more for the five additional letters written on the filter ring. This, of course, doesn’t change the fact that this is still a filter an excellent filter worth buying.
