The Hoya R1 Pro Red Filter is a 67mm screw-in color effect filter that adds a deep red cast to your images — a classic tool for black-and-white film-style contrast work or creative color effects in-camera.
What the Hoya R1 Pro Red Filter does
A red filter like this one blocks blue and green wavelengths and lets red light through. In black-and-white photography (or when converted in post), that means dramatically darkened blue skies, bright white clouds, and punchy contrast in foliage. In colour photography, it shifts the entire scene into a strong red tone — useful for creative portraiture, abstract work, or experimental street photography.
The 67mm thread fits a wide range of mid-to-large zoom lenses — think standard kit lenses in the 17-70mm or 18-105mm range, as well as many prime and telephoto options. Check your lens cap or lens barrel for the ⌀ symbol followed by the thread diameter before buying.
Hoya has been making optical glass filters for decades, and the R1 Pro is a well-regarded color effect filter in their lineup — designed to deliver consistent red transmission for photographers who want reliable results without post-processing trickery.
Who is this filter for?
If you shoot landscapes and want to recreate that classic high-contrast black-and-white look straight from the camera, a red filter on a monochrome-capable body is one of the fastest ways to get there. It also works well for anyone who wants to push colour in an analogue, in-lens way rather than relying entirely on post-processing.
Buying a used Hoya filter is a smart move — filters don't have shutters, mirrors, or sensors to wear out, so a second-hand example in good condition performs identically to a new one. Every item on Camera-tweedehands.nl comes with a minimum 12 months warranty.
