Superb piece of glass. Really sturdy....build quality feels premium. And there is very slight reflection (cuz its not the PRO series) and transparency is great.A lot of reviews say that there is loss of image quality when using a filter and so on. I never noticed any significant difference in the image quality though. There is a bit of softness when you zoom in a lot in the picture but in reality, why would anyone zoom in to the maximum! Instead get yourself a better lens.My main aim of buying this filter was for protection and believe me, it's really quality stuff that can withstand bangs; not those cheap plastic filters!This filter was never made for the professionals but was made for those amateurs who want to consider photography as a profession and want quality equipment in a budget.Definitely a thumbs of this filter. I'll recommend it to anyone.

Ordered on Flipkart the Hoya filter for my Panasonic super zoom camera since the earlier fitted filter was damaged. Ensured that the product displayed on Flipkart was exactly what I wanted i.e the size & pitch details. Unfortunately the delivery was pain taking 6 days since it was not from WS retail but from different vendor. The packing was good. Fits perfectly on my camera, so now time to start clicking some beautiful photos. Wonder if the price is actually correct for the part since it was being retailed on Flipkart for 1255 rupees earlier a fortnight back. Flipkart - The package was delivered at my office address but no signature taken from me. it was collected by our courier people. Pls dont repeat this.
