GearScore™ Verdict — Which should you buy?
Landscape, Architecture & Outdoor Photography — 77mm HD Circular Polarising Filter: A CPL filter produces effects that simply cannot be replicated in post. Hoya's HD coating keeps images sharp and flare-free — no quality compromise. The 77mm size fits the most common full-frame standard zoom thread. If you shoot outdoors regularly, a CPL belongs in your kit.
Long-Exposure Landscape & Architecture Photography — 77mm PRO ND1000 Filter (10-Stop): The ND1000 is a different tool from a variable ND — it's specifically for multi-minute exposures in daylight. Hoya's PRO coating is noticeably more colour-neutral than budget ND1000 filters. If long-exposure landscape photography is your thing, this is the filter you need.
