Hoya EVO Antistatic Filter Series Will Help Your Lens Repel Dust

Japanese manufacturer Hoya announced a new line of antistatic filters that can repel dust as well as as many other factors in three different types – clear protectors, UV filters, and circular polarizers.

We see more and more advanced filters all the time. The most recent line of Hoya EVO filters seem to include almost all known protective layers we are aware of including, liquids, stains, fingerprints, scratches and now dust as well using a new antistatic coating – one of 16 different layers.
