The UX II series is primarily aimed at entry-level photographers who need filters at an affordable price. The "UX" in the series name stands for User Experience, highlighting the experiences users can have with these filters and everything that comes with them. With the name UX, Hoya aims to provide users with better individual experiences in all photography-related activities. Light rays reflected from a surface are polarized, and using polarization filters, you can select which light rays enter your camera lens. They allow you to eliminate unwanted reflections from non-metallic surfaces like water, glass, and more. Additionally, colors can appear more saturated and clearer with better contrast. This effect is often used to enhance contrast and saturation in blue skies and white clouds. Hoya's polarization filters do not affect the overall color balance of a shot.
