Product details
Polarizing Filter Functionality
Polarizing filters selectively allow certain light rays to enter the camera lens by filtering polarized light, which is light reflected off surfaces. This filter removes unwanted reflections from non-metallic surfaces such as water or glass and enhances color saturation to provide better contrast. The effect is visible through the viewfinder and can be adjusted by rotating the filter. The filter factor changes depending on the filter's rotation and its orientation relative to the sun.
Usage Scenarios
Ideal for outdoor photography, especially in mountainous or beach environments, this filter helps capture vivid images of cloud-filled skies and enhances the saturation of water bodies. It can increase or decrease reflections on water or glass surfaces, making it versatile for various shooting conditions. When shooting black and white, pairing with a red filter can simulate a dramatic storm effect.
Key Features
- Eliminates ultraviolet rays to reduce haze in outdoor shots
- Polarizes light to remove reflections and increase color saturation without altering overall color balance
- Dramatically enhances blue skies and makes clouds more prominent
- Most effective when used at a right angle to the sun
- Compatible with cameras using beam splitters in the TTL light meter path and autofocus cameras
Hoya HRT Technology
The Hoya HRT circular polarizing filter incorporates a High Rate Transmission film that allows more visible light to pass through while maintaining the same degree of polarization. This design permits approximately 1/3 stop more light intake, benefiting users of digital and HD technology cameras and lenses. The polarizing film technology is also used in the latest HD LCD TVs. Additionally, the filter glass has UV absorbing properties, making it a combined UV and circular polarizing filter.
