Summary:
-
The unconditional winner of our test! We didn’t expect that the 79 Polish zloty Hoya HMC would win against B+W, Marumi or Heliopan. This filter cuts out the UV radiation the best and has a large visible light transmission (although that 3% value could be a bit less). The very good balance between price and quality easily convinces us to buy it. We don’t have to add anything else, do we?
