Unfortunately Hoya continues to have issues keeping their polarizers together, ie retention clip issues. I have several and have had them factory repaired several times. I don't know where you're getting your info re the Pro-1D's being better than the SMC in their UV line...other than from their ads. Further, I doubt Hoya or THK would agree that their Pro-1D line is "their best" relative to their HD line.

Wilt Reader's Digest Condensed version of War and Peace [POTN Vol 1]  More info | Jan 13, 2011 21:30 | #6 The Hoya Pro 1 Digital actually has lower light transmission (97% transmision...same as the Hoya HMC line) than the Hoya S-HMC (99.7% transmission). The features touted by the Pro Digital are rather questionable 'benefits' with absolutely no quantitative information backing up the marketing hype (unlike what Hoya usually does to quantify benefit of a line of filters). You need to give me OK to edit your image and repost! Keep POTN alive and well with member support https://photography-on-the.net/forum/donate.php

Not sure if a filter is needed to complete the weather seal (?), but in addition to the hood should provide some extra protection and hopefully keep out the dust  Anyone using this filter? Are you happy with it? Any situations where you've had to take it off because it was affecting the image? You're using UV filters? Welcome to the dark side!

I'm surprised there aren't more tolls in here spouting the "uv filters are stupid" malarkey. They serve their purpose. All my L-lens are protected--the cheapo lenses go bare.
