When I received this item the packaging and nomenclature was way off of what was pictured, I lost confidence in the item (Hoya), so, I used it on and off my 18-135mm lens, until I could finally see the difference it made when it was on. I must say I had previous good experience with Hoya filters but I doubted this was an original Hoya, but in the end I could see better color quality and it eliminated most of the haze I encountered, I would give it a five star rating if I knew I was getting this instead of what was pictured.
