NXT Plus CPL Filters 55mm - Open Box, 43mm
Hoya NXT Plus Circular Polarizers are the top of the line. Not only is it Hoya's best-selling CPL line but it includes premium glass (Schott B270), 10 layers of coatings, and a 89% transmission rate for super crisp images. If you are new to a CPL, think sunglasses for your lenses.
Polarizers do one thing: Remove Reflections. By removing reflections, you reveal the color, texture and detail beneath. So, leaves are greener, skies are bluer, and the beautiful rocks at the bottom of that secret mountain lake are revealed.

Hoya NXT Plus Circular Polarizer — Eliminate Glare from Client and Product Photography
The gist: A premium multi-coated CPL filter that removes unwanted reflections from screens, windows, and shiny surfaces — a practical tool for photographers shooting products, interviews, or office environments.
- Eliminates screen and surface reflections: Rotate the filter to cut glare from laptop screens, glass tabletops, or office windows — critical for clean product and workspace photography.
- 10-layer HMC coatings: Hoya's multi-coating keeps contrast and color accurate, so images don't look faded or washed-out the way uncoated polarizers can make them.
- Waterproof + easy-clean surface: Fingerprints and smudges wipe off quickly during fast-paced client shoots without leaving residue on the optical surface.
- Slim frame, wide-lens compatible: Low-profile aluminum ring fits wide-angle lenses without corner vignetting — no need for a separate filter per focal length.
B&H Photo notes the NXT Plus is Hoya's best-selling CPL line for a reason: its “improved contrast, color, and sharpness” from 10-layer HMC coatings make it a reliable filter photographers keep on their lens across a full shoot day.
Best for: Photographers and videographers who regularly shoot environments with glare — glass, screens, or water — and need a reliable, easy-to-clean filter they can keep mounted all day. Skip it if: You mainly shoot in neutral, diffuse studio light where reflections aren't a problem. Open-box condition; non-returnable. Runs ~$45 — check the current price before buying.
