Negative Positive
Title: Disappointed
Review: I've dealt with Hoya in the past and they are to me one of the leading filter makers on the market. However with that being said this last purchase I made was very disappointing. I for one being at fault of not opening the received item and examining the content. I was in no hurry for I seldom shoot b/w pictures. But when I did break out the NIB item only upon mounting it on the camera lens did I discover that the locking ring that holds the glass in place on the filter was not installed properly. Further inspection I found that it was slightly twisted and probably the reason for not being able to lock in place on the filter. My guess is that this is of those filters that "slipped" pass the QA dept and I got stuck with it. Not worth the hassle of sending it back for a replacement. I was able to correct the problem myself. My lesson learns here is to "do" the open and inspect the content and not take it for granted just because Hoya has a solid reputation for quality products.
Is the review positive or negative?
