Also known as a "didymium" filter, this is used to enhance red, orange and brown subjects to give more color saturation and contrast, while having very little effect on other colors. It can be used in many situations such as architecture where certain building features need emphasizing, or for landscapes to enhance foliage and rocky features.

A word (or two) of warning...
The product itself - does exactly what it says - order it if it's what you needHOWEVER! Be careful..... When I ordered mine Amazon was having a 'funny five minutes'. ...I'd searched 82mm, the description was 82mm, nothing to suggest it was going to be anything other than 82mm. I got a 67mm vatient. The 1st replacement was 67mm despite explaining the problem and importance of the size, the 2nd replacement, also 67mm! The Amazon associates couldn't have been more helpful organising replacement piece's. They maybe aren't photographers and don't understand....Turns out there was, a default size vatient at 67mm - even behind the line description of 82mm, if you've ordered on your phone, which I often do, it doesn't show up as you're clicking through the order process quickly as I do.The problem may be sorted as you read this - eventually the penny dropped and I managed to speak with someone who realized there was something big going wrong. As I moved on they were escalating the product to resolve the possibility of reoccurrence. ... good luck...

Hoya red enhancer
Works well when shooting Milky Way images helps reducing light pollution and bringing the Milky Way out, helps setting a custom white balance to remove slight cast

Great light pollution filter.
If you're looking to buy this to filter out light pollution for astrophotography, this filter is a great buy. I've included two photos I've taken with and without the filter to show how good it is at filtering light pollution from sodium street lamps. As you can see, it does a great job. Definitely worth buying.
