Is this the Hoya HMC UV(0) or the Hoya HMC Super UV(0) 49mm filter made in Japan? If it is not specifically one of these two, I do not want it.

The one I bought was a 77mm and it was a "C". I'm pleased with the performance and if you Google around you can find test data where it scored quite nicely. http://www.lenstip.com/113.4-article-UV_filters_test_Description_of_the_results_and_summary.html

This is the 77mm Hoya filter. The product I received specified "Hoya HMC multicoated filter UV(C)" and is made in Philippines. I'm happy with its quality.

The one I bought was a77mm (C). I'm pleased with it's performance using it primarily to protect an expensive lens from wind-blown desert sand. If you Google around you can find info and test results where it did quite nicely. Try http://www.lenstip.com/113.4-article-UV_filters_test_Description_of_the_results_and_summary.html

The item is listed as a 77mm filter, not 49mm. It is not listed as 'super', but it is a digitally multi-coated glass filter. Good luck!

I just looked at mine and it shows "B+W 58 010 UV - Haze 1x MRC". Not sure if you can specify the exact one you want in this listing. The manufacturers website is at: https://www.schneideroptics.com/Ecommerce/CatalogItemDetail.aspx?CID=630&IID;=5722B&H; Photo says the filter factor is 1.0.

According to my online chat with Shark, the replacement filters for the UV420 are XF22 for foam and felt and XHF80 for the HEPA. This looks like the right one for you (and me). I got my vacuum at Costco if that helps.

I don't know for sure, but I assume it's manufactured in Japan. Hope this helps, it's a very good lens.

I also have heard a few claims here and there that the models made in Japan, for example, are better in some fashion or other though I haven't seen any very convincing evidence of this (is a Honda made in Japan any better than the same model Honda car made in the US?). Buying an imported lens is actually likely to be more trouble than its worth -- you likely won't get a valid US warranty and, unless you're buying from a US shop that has imported the lens, returns or exchanges can be very complicated if not downright impossible. Plus if you're buying from a foreign seller, shipping is typically VERY slow and customs can sometimes be a problem (many sellers cheat by declaring merchandise as "gifts" below a certain amount in order to avoid customs fees but this sometimes doesn't work as planned).

Filter 39mm. Same as the 60mm xf. I bought mine on amazon Fuji manufactured it. If 39mm size no longer on amazon B&H; audio video will have it. Top line filters are made by B+W.

I purchased this lens new about four weeks ago. The nameplate on the lens clearly says "MADE IN JAPAN" below the focal length and aperture rating.

UV(C) passes much more ultraviolet light than UV(0) filters. Additionally, the Pro 1 coating is a little more transparent and easier to clean. Finally, the Pro1 rim is higher quality. See hoya's website below: http://www.hoyafilter.com/hoya/products/generalfilters/uvcslimframe/

Hey GadgetGirl,As far as I could check on the internet, your camera's lens does not have threads... This means that you will not be able to use any filters on it (the Hoya 55mm will not mount to tor lens).Anyways, this product is a filter, and (IMHO) it is not a good idea to use it as a replacement of a lens cover... The two products have different uses.For extra protection, one may use this filter AND the cover, or just the cover. But I would not use ONLY the UV filter.Hope this helps,Thiago

I bought a 67mm UV filter and a 67mm Circular Polarizing filter. I bought the adapter from Amazon but it was sold by New West Direct. This adapter does screw onto the camera body as Jo Art has said and works great. From the imprint on the adapter ring it appears that the adapter is essentially a 51mm-67mm converter. After buying it I wondered whether it might have been better to buy a 51mm-56mm or 51mm-57mm or even a 51mm-58mm step-up adapter ring and use some of the filters I already have.

Mine just say JAPAN OPTICS. They do not seem to be multi-coated. I use the polarized filter to protect the lens, and it does a fine job of that at a low price. I would recommend a more expensive single filter for more serious work.

No filters are 'required' per se; however, I strongly recommend purchasing an inexpensive 67mm UV filter to protect the front element from scratches or damage. Multi-coated filters will reduce glare and reflections on the lens and glass filters are more scratch resistant and typically better optically than plastic. After destroying a more expensive Hoya, I am currently using the AGFA 67mm Digital Multi Coated Ultra Violet (UV) Filter (Protector) APUVF67Within 2 weeks of purchasing my lens, I pulled it out of the bag and my filter was shattered. I don't recall any dropping the bag or any significant impact but I was glad the damage was to a $40 filter rather than a $600 lens.

Lens is "Made in Japan" and says so right next to the serial number. It has USA warranty. If the seller is Amazon, then it is for sure not gray market.

That I could not tell you. I still have my box for the lens and it has english and Japanese writing on it. The lens is a wonderful made and performing lens.

I am not sure of the country of origin for the 46 mm filter. The one I purchased is a Hoya 58mm UV(C). It was made in the Philippines. It works just fine with no problems.
