With a lightweight design and precision fit, this filter is an essential tool for any serious photographer looking to elevate their craft. ## Description Light rays which are reflected by any surface can become polarised so polarising filters are used to select which light rays enter your camera lens. CIRCULAR PL filters allow you to remove unwanted reflections from non-metallic surfaces such as water, glass etc. They also enable colors to become more saturated and appear clearer with better contrast. This effect is often used to increase the contrast and saturation in blue skies and white clouds. HOYA's polarising filters do not affect the overall color balance of a shot.KEY FEATURESDigital Multi-CoatedDigital multi-coated filters greatly reduce the appearance of lens flare and ghosting caused by reflections.Black Almite FrameFilters feature a black matte aluminum satin finish almite frame which reduces reflections.Black Rimmed GlassThese filters are equipped with black rimmed glass to reduce the chance of light reflecting off the edge.Low Profile FrameUltra thin filter frames to help avoid vignetting on super wide angle lenses are also designed to hold a lens cap.Knurling Edge FrameThese filters are equipped with a straight knurling edge for non-slip, easy attachment and removal.UV Protected CaseFilter cases are UV protected to further lengthen the life of filters. Hoya filtersHOYA Corporation has diversified its operations by capitalizing on the potential of optoelectronic technologies since its establishment in 1941 as Japan's first specialty manufacturer of optical glass. Today, Hoya is active in four fields of business: Information Technology business makes mask blanks and photomasks for semiconductor devices and liquid crystal panels, optical lenses, and glass memory disks for hard disk drives. The Eye Care provides eyeglasses and operates contact lenses retail shops, as well as makes intraocular lenses for cataract surgery. The Life Care Business provides endoscopic system. The Imaging System produces SLR/compact digital cameras and interchangeable lenses as well as digital camera lens module and microlens.The Production Process of HOYA FiltersEach Hoya filter is the result of research, know-how and complete precision facilities backed by full quality control.Before production starts, controls are first programmed into a computer. Then the finest materials are carefully mixed by an automatic V-blender for absolute uniformity. After being melted with highly sophisticated equipment, this material is then precision molded with automatic direct pressing equipment. The pressed blanks are next slowly and continuously cooled to remove strain, and are then polished by high-speed, double-surface polishing machines that assure precise surface quality and perfect flatness.Next is the coating process which improves the filter light transmission ability. And the transmission characteristics are checked by Spectro-Photometer, after which an ultrasonic cleaner removes all foreign matter from the surfaces. Only after passing all of Hoya's quality tests are the filters assembled, finished and made ready for shipment to customers throughout the world. ## Features - Prevents reflection from non-metallic objects - Colours appear more intense and clearer - Does not affect the colour balance of shots - Box contents: Hoya Pro1 Digital Pole Circular Filter 58 mm UV-Protected Filter Box ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Package Dimensions L x W x H | 8.8 x 7.2 x 1.2 centimetres | | Package Weight | 0.08 Kilograms | | Product Dimensions L x W x H | 5.8 x 5.8 x 0.3 centimetres | | Item Weight | 0.09 Pounds | | Brand | Hoya | | Colour | black | | Included components | Filter | | Model year | 2008 | | Plug profile | Thread | | Part number | YDPOLCP058 | | Size | 58 mm | | Water Resistance Level | Not Water Resistant | | Photo Filter Mount Type | Round | | Photo Filter Effect Type | Polarizer | | Style | Single | | Photo Filter Thread Size | 58 Millimetres | | Guaranteed software updates until | unknown | ## Images ![58mm Pro-1 Digital Circular Polarizing Filter - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51nPAs28p6L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size, Style** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Useful and a Good Price *by E***H on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 26 August 2015* I bought this for a new camera for a trip to Yellowstone, where on our first day, which was sunny with a few fluffy clouds in a blue sky, it enhanced the pictures significantly. The biggest benefit was when taking photos of the hot springs and pools, where this filter cut through the glare, enhanced the colours of the water and the minerals, and gave some fantastic shots.And then after about 8 hours of great pics, twisting the lens constantly, the darned thing fell off without me noticing. I obviously hadn't screwed it on tight enough to start with, and all my twisting must have loosened it. I retraced my steps for 30 mins but couldn't find it, so I was really disappointed to lose out on enhancing more photos.When I finally found a camera shop that sold these, a few days later, they wanted $120, or about Β£75, for the exact same filter. I declined. Anyway, the moral of the story is, it's a great, really useful filter, but for goodness sake screw it on tight, and keep on tightening during the day. I've since bought another from Amazon at the great price they sell it for. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Hoya 52mm Pro1 Digital Circular PL filter *by A***T on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 15 October 2009* Another finely crafted filter from Hoya, one of the most well established manufacturers of these items on the market.The Pro1 polarising filter fits tight'n'clean directly onto the lens or onto another filter - I have UV daylight Hoyas permanently fitted to my 18-55mm and 55-200mm lenses, both to do what they supposed to do, and to protect the front elements of the lenses themselves.Happy about the 55-200mm, because the elements don't turn externally when zooming or focussing, but the front element of the 18-55mm Nikkor does to focus, and has very little resistance when in manual mode, so I was concerned that getting the desired effect by turning the two-element Hoya polariser would make a mess of an otherwise carefully framed and focussed shot.Not so: although the filter has some friction built in for holding its setting, its precision means it turns smoothly with fractionally less resistance than the lens ring, and the two work well together, although a practised touch will be needed, at least on my setup.As it only arrived today - a mere few days after placing my order: well done, Amazon and Camera King - I haven't had time to get back properly into using this type of filter, but there are plenty of rivers, canals and other opportunities nearby to see what it can do. A similar (Hoya) version worked well with my old 35mm SLR.This version isn't cheap, but you get what you pay for. Because of the sheer quality of manufacture, slim profile and almost addictive, tactile precision, it has to merit a five star score.Another note:...and the 67mm version recently purchased for my new 18-105mm Nikkor is just as good. Nice crisp action - the 18-105's focus ring only telescopes to achieve focus, rather than rotates as well, but again, the minimal friction of the polariser is a delight to use. Another 5-star vote for the Hoya. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars Exceptional, yet not quite. *by M***J on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 15 September 2011* I've just received this product today, and initially I ran into a couple of problems. The screw-in thread didn't quite line up properly when attaching the lens, so the filter was a bit lobsided. I had to unscrew it, take it off and put it back on again. In the proccess, because it is a bit fiddly to use, I managed to get finger prints on the filter. (Not a good start for 2 minutes in, but bear with me). So after a bit of a polish, the filter screwed in properly and I began shooting.The effect is very impressive. On Youtube, Dom Bower did a video demonstrating the effect of such filters, and it felt a little bit hard to imagine it working in real life, but it does... Not really a surprise there, it's just nifty physics at work. Looking the 'right way' through the lens and rotating it will vary the angle of the light, and as a result will eliminate some reflections, or hide clouds, or make TVs and screens appear darker. Look through it the wrong way and you'll notice the element changes colour from a slight blue to a yellow; I am unable to tell if this colour balance is going through into the photos though.The only concern I have (assuming you're more competant than I was at putting the filter on) is that the filter is very thin and it is not allowing the lens cap to be placed properly. They use thin glass and thin frames to reduce vignetting on wide angle lenses, but this still means that the lens cap is only held half in place by the filter. It makes me feel very concious about damaging my lens. If they had just made the filter 2mm taller, this problem would be eliminated. This problem has occured on my Canon lens. Though I doubt results will vary depending on the manufacturer.So all in all, it's a very good lens. I would just be careful with it. I am worried about damaging my lens by removing the filter after use, but I am also worried about breaking the filter if I leave it on and the lens cap falls off. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.au/products/49010440-58mm-pro-1-digital-circular-polarizing-filter](https://www.desertcart.com.au/products/49010440-58mm-pro-1-digital-circular-polarizing-filter) --- *Product available on Desertcart Australia* *Store origin: AU* *Last updated: 2026-06-06*
