HOYA Filter Alpha II Circular Polarizer 55mm camera filter

55mm Circular Polarizer for DSLR

This 55mm circular polarizer fits lenses with a matching front thread and is suited to enthusiasts and professionals who want stronger skies and reduced glare. The Alpha II series uses Hoya clear glass in a thin frame that keeps the filter profile low. It rotates smoothly to let you dial in the exact polarization angle for each scene.

Thin frame cuts vignetting and keeps weight low

The slimmer surround reduces the chance of corner darkening on wide-angle lenses while adding minimal mass to the front of the optic. Hoya clear glass maintains transmission without introducing a noticeable colour cast. The rotatable mount turns freely so you can adjust the effect without unscrewing the filter.

Replaces a basic polarizer

Photographers moving up from an entry-level filter gain a thinner ring and better glass clarity without paying for coatings the Alpha II omits. It is not for shooters who need ultra-low reflection coatings, nano water-repellent layers or oversized knurled grips. If you simply want deeper blues, richer foliage and fewer window reflections, this filter covers the core job.
