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 that are reflected from a surface become polarized, and polarization filters allow you to select which light rays enter your camera lens. They can remove unwanted reflections from non-metallic surfaces such as water, glass, etc. Additionally, colors can be rendered more saturated and clearer with better contrast. This effect is often used to enhance the contrast and saturation of blue skies and white clouds. Hoya's polarization filters do not affect the overall color balance of a shot.
