Is this filter multicoated for anti reflection? Single coated?

Yes it is Multicoated. You will see on the ring that is says "Hoya HMC". The HMC is Hoya's designatin for "Hoya Multi Coated". This is a great filter and find myself using it more and more all the time for long exposure shots.

Good question and something I had not looked for when I purchased the filter since it has become customary for all high end filters to be Multi-coated. I had to go to the Hoya website and saw that the filter is designated as DMC (Digital Multi Coated). I have always had good results with Hoya.

The filter has two sides: glossy and matte. The glossy side is quite reflective. The matte side is far less reflective, but does slightly increase the glare reflecting off my monitor. This is especially apparent when the background is black or a dark color. This is something that could be improved in future iterations. Still, as it reduces the harsh light emanating from the monitor, it is totally worth it!

Technically yes, but it is not matte. You will definitely see your reflection in it under certain angle/lighting conditions.

It attaches just fine with one filter, and although I have not tried a second filter, I can see plenty of clearance so it shouldn't be a problem. Also, this hood does not cause any vignetting.

no. search on p100 filter and you'll see the 3m spec sheet that will tell you what it's good for and what it's not good for. Get your answers from mfg !!!

No filters are 'required' per se; however, I strongly recommend purchasing an inexpensive 67mm UV filter to protect the front element from scratches or damage. Multi-coated filters will reduce glare and reflections on the lens and glass filters are more scratch resistant and typically better optically than plastic. After destroying a more expensive Hoya, I am currently using the AGFA 67mm Digital Multi Coated Ultra Violet (UV) Filter (Protector) APUVF67Within 2 weeks of purchasing my lens, I pulled it out of the bag and my filter was shattered. I don't recall any dropping the bag or any significant impact but I was glad the damage was to a $40 filter rather than a $600 lens.

Actually kind of. Its a good filter still but the coating will smudge a bit with cleaning.

It uses a standard Doulton filter. The only thing unique is the housing and connections. I have not cleaned it yet, but I think it will be the same as other Doulton filters.

All filters have an optical coating. It is possible to stack this on or under other filters.

If you mean a filter to screen out solid particles like dirt, then, no that is sold separately.

KDavies, the filter looks to be some sort of nylon weave, the frame for the filter is a strong, dense, high quality plastic. I have seen people get very upset by this, but my familiarity with plastics used in the medical and scientific fields gives me reason to feel it is not a problem. I have been using mine for years with no apparent degradation of the plastics involved, no change to the surface from a hard, glossy plastic.

I assume so. A quick Google search shows that either with or without "A"-the filter is compatible.

UV absorbing? i have no idea, I use a UV filter as a lens protector, but alot of pro photographers say they never use them. As for anti-reflective, Yes: by turning the filter glass, you can choose, anti-reflective or not.

Yes. The "pros" will tell you that any additional layer of glass can add distortion and reflection, but I leave a filter on all the time to protect that expensive lens from dirt, dings, fingerprints, etc. Many of today's filters are so well made with multi-coating and high tolerances that I doubt even the experts can tell a difference in 99% of photos. Years ago, so called UV filters added a hint of pink to fight UV. That is no longer the case.

I just looked at mine and it shows "B+W 58 010 UV - Haze 1x MRC". Not sure if you can specify the exact one you want in this listing. The manufacturers website is at: https://www.schneideroptics.com/Ecommerce/CatalogItemDetail.aspx?CID=630&IID;=5722B&H; Photo says the filter factor is 1.0.

As trivial as it may seem, don't skimp on a filter. You have a nice camera, so get a MULTI-COATED filter from someone like B&W, Heliopan, or Hoya. The multi-coatings reduce flare and reflections, just like your multi-coated Nikon lens -- again, don't skimp, it'll truly reduce the quality of your photo's especially in sunlight. The size of the filter should be imprinted on the lens, and yes, it's 67mm. A good filter is somewhere in the $50 neighborhood.

Yes. The filter size is 37mm. I am using a TIFFEN 37mm UV Protector Filter to protect and prevent dust from going into the lense. I bought the filter from Amazon.
