Hoya 72mm Pro-1 Digital Circular Polarizing Filter

Product Information

But that said, you get what you pay for. Lee’s glass has no negative impact on image sharpness, it only reduces light transmission by just over 1-stop, and you needn’t worry about any sign of color casts. This is also easily the best filter for resisting fingerprints and repelling water, with droplets beading away perfectly. Lee even includes a high quality zippered pouch in which to store the filter.

Less impressive is the MRC Nano coating, however, which is supposed to resist water and fingerprints, but barely beads water away better than a budget filter. It does at least help with filter cleaning, as water can be wiped away quite easily. Circular Polarising 】Effectively filter out harmful reflections on non-metallic surfaces such as water and glass, Rotate the filter to achieve the correct amount of filtration required. With CPL，you can make the sky bluer, the leaves greener, reduce or eliminate reflections, and the final image is clearer. The second attribute of a 72mm Polarising filter is to saturate colour, which is especially handy when shooting landscape photography that is being drowned out with harsh lighting. Polarizing filters are some of the most useful tools in a landscape and nature photographers’ bag given their ability to cut both glare and reflections while also enriching the colors and saturation of an image (see our article on using polarizing filters properly). There are two kinds of polarizing filter available to photographers—linear and circular— with the latter design most suited for digital photography.With circular polarizing filters, the amount of enhancement is adjustable. When the front plate of the filter is rotated, the angle of polarization changes and with it so does the amount of polarized light that passes through the filter. This allows for precise control over the degree of polarized light that is to be removed from any given scene. A polarizing filters ability to add a “pop” to almost any kind of image taken out in the natural world is the reason why I never go on a photography trip without at least one of these filters for each of my lenses.

Ultra-thin frame design, which can effectively prevent vignetting when using a wide-angle lens. The frame is processed by CNC, and the appearance is full of layers.

The first attribute is that a polariser will remove any glare in the image that can be caused by light reflecting off an object, like water or glass. After the glass is optically polished, a high-tech film is plated on the surface. "Moldproof", "Waterproof", "Scratch-proof" and "Greasy-proof". While having the characteristics of hard scratching, it will not have any impact on the image quality, even if it is contaminated with water droplets or oil, it can be easily removed; Tripods with head Tripod Heads Video Heads Ball Heads Three Way Heads Specialist & Gimbal Heads Tripod Legs Tripod Accessories Mini Tripods & ClampsOne of the most frustrating aspects of owning several lenses is that, unless you've stumbled into a fantastic fluke, they'll likely be different filter thread diameters. However, that doesn't mean that you have to invest in a polarizer several times over to fit your different pieces of glass! Buy one to fit your lens with the largest filter thread diameter, and then use step-up rings to mount it to the others. Sorted! When you use it to cut down on reflections, the effect on something like water is pretty profound. In this example, I used it on the water of a canal I was walking by and it completely cut the reflections out.

Double Coated】Adopted 18-Layer multi-resistant double coating technology, the green coating helps effectively reduce filter surface reflection and the ghosting while making the filter anti-scratch, water repellent, oil and dust resistant. Effect: Removes reflections and increases color saturation without affecting the overall color balanceWith filter thread diameters available in all common sizes from 37mm through to 95mm (and even an elusive 105mm option, if you can find it), there’s a DHG Super polarizer for almost any lens, and most are very well priced, in the UK at least. The K&F polariser performed as expected for a polariser. It’s one of those things that’s hard to review, as it pretty much does what it says. I didn’t notice any undue colour shifts, outside of what you would get with a polariser. It did reduce the amount of light getting through, but that is also normal for a polariser. The only minor issue that I had was getting it to stay on the lens, but that is something that I’ve had with every filter I’ve ever used on this lens, so its not a fault of the filter. In fact, I actually dropped it because of this, but that only went to demonstrate how tough they are, because it wasn’t even scratched. Conclusion
