...Well, I'll find out in a couple of days and will post the conclusion...
My Hoya HD Circular Polariser has arrived, and all is well
Out of the box, it is very much lighter than my Hoya Pro1, which is why I bought it. On the camera, it cuts the light by an indicated one stop (actually 1.1 stops) whereas the Pro1 reduces exposure by about 1.7 stops.
Compared to the Pro1 it is also very very slightly yellow, which I suspected from the Hoya transmission graph. You can only tell by looking at it side by side with the Pro1, but when I tested the two, I found that the Pro1 is actually a tiny fraction blue, so I fiddled with the white balance to see what the shift was.
If you shoot with the bare lens with colour balance set to 5200K (standard daylight) then with the HD polariser 5000K looks spot on, and with the Pro1 5300K looks to be about perfect. I could only tell them apart by shooting a plain grey wall and white ceiling. In normal pictorial stuff, the shift is so slight it's undetectable either way.
Unsurprisingly, the polarising effect is identical betweeen the HD and Pro1 filters, they are both richly multicoated, and the slimline mount has threads for a lens hood.
The new HD is now going on my 10-22 lens, where I dare say it will hardly ever come off. There is rarely a picture I shoot with that lens which is not improved with a polariser, and at the cost of just one stop in exposure, I'll go with that thank you.
My Hoya Pro1 CPL will be in the For Sale section shortly
