Product description
The high-quality Marumi filters were specially developed for digital photography. Each filter is equipped with a specially developed coating that prevents internal reflection of the camera's CCD and CMOS sensors. In addition, a special, thin frame with a satin finish and the BlackInk Process prevent reflections. Marumi DHG Super Circular Polarizing Filters have the same features as the High Grade Filters, with 2 additional benefits:
Hard protection: protects the surface of the lens from scratches, even with very frequent use.
Water and oil repellent: water and oil drops are easy to wipe off.

Marumi makes five different ranges of lens protectors, going from the top end professional high spec premium price Exus line down to budget. The DHG Super is one step below Exus, and gives me all the features I want and need to protect my valuable and cherished lenses, at an affordable price.
Here's the lineup of Marumi lens protector ranges, going from high end down to budget:
* Exus Lens Protect Solid
* Exus Lens Protect
* DHG Super Lens Protect
* DHG Lens Protect
* FIT & SLIM MC Lens Protect
IMPRESSIONS
Removing one from the supplied storage case, initial impressions are surprise at the extreme clarity of the glass. This is helped by the black coating of the in-frame glass edge, reducing internal reflection between surfaces. The DHG Super line benefits from a lens coating that repels oil and water, so these protectors are ideal for shooting outdoors. Screwed to the front of a weather sealed lens it provides an extra layer of protection, and I find water just beads off, leaving no residual marks! If you're shooting in dusty environments you might consider the Exus line, which adds an anti-static coating and even toughened glass if you choose the Exus Solid.
These special coatings go a long way to keeping my filters blemish free where a competitor product would show marks and finger prints that would require cleaning. Every time you pass a cloth over a lens you are creating micro-abrasions, so the ability to leave it alone can make a big difference to both image quality and life of the filter.
Another impressive feature of the DHG Super protectors is the low profile, and on-lens it adds a mere 4mm front edge projection! The frame has a true matt coating unlike many other filters too, and useful knurling on the frame to aid grip during removal. The front of the frame is female threaded at the same diameter as the male rear, for adding further filters or a lens cap, with thread depth of 3.5mm.
RECOMENDATIONS
These are not the cheapest of lens protectors, but they compete on price with other quality brands yet are technically superior in my opinion, for the reasons I've described. Japanese manufactured camera gear has long been known for fanatical attention to quality and detail, and it saddens me that so much optical equipment is now made elsewhere, in anonymous factories churning out low grade tat for the price of a cup of coffee. Why would I save a few quid and stick an optically horrible lens protector in front of my four figure camera and lens setup? So I highly recommend you purchase one of these protectors and give it a trial. That's what I did initially. I was so impressed I swapped all my protectors over to Marumi. I recommend you go with this DHG Super Protect range as a minimum, because the coatings are so good. The anti-static properties of an Exus will set you back another ten to fifteen pounds, but if keeping your glass dust free is an annoyance to you, that extra might be well worth it to you. Whichever you choose, I'm confident you'll be impressed.
THE MARUMI OPTICAL COMPANY
The Marumi Optical Company has been manufacturing high spec camera filters at their factory in the Nagano prefecture for over 65 years. Originally an OEM supplier to well known German camera brands, they entered the consumer market in the 1970's and have steadily built a loyal following amongst photographers who value good quality gear. It's worth searching out the English version of the company web site, which has a full run down of the range plus a handy comparison chart of the features of each range. The official distributor for the UK is Kenro, based in Swindon, who trade directly as Kusso Ltd.

Upon inspection the case did not seem to reflect a high quality product but the filter itself looked to be of good quality. Optically it looks to have a good quality anti reflective coating and distortion free glass. I have used it on an expensive quality 'pro' lens and the image quality is almost entirely the same with and without the filter attached. It has already saved the front of this lens from a drenching in melted snow and road salt when a lorry hit a puddle close to where I was taking a photo. Really glad I had it on and it cleaned up easy too. I also plan to use it in wilder weather and by the sea to protect the lens. I'm satisfied I have bought the genuine article and am very pleased with the filter.
Having checked the price of a HOYA 95mm Filter I did some further research and discovered MARUMI....a brand I was not aware of.
Feedback was excellent ....price was a 1/3rd less than an equivalent HOYA....so I went for it.
Very well pleased, excellent tight fit...a quality product !
