Product details
Polarizing Filter Functionality
Light rays that are reflected become polarized. Polarizing filters select which light rays enter your camera lens, removing unwanted reflections from non-metallic surfaces such as water or glass, and saturating colors to provide better contrast. The effect is visible through the viewfinder and can be adjusted by rotating the filter. The filter factor varies depending on rotation and orientation to the sun.
Applications
Ideal for outdoor photography such as mountain or beach scenes, this filter enhances cloud contrast, saturates water colors, and controls reflections. It is also effective when shooting through glass or windows by increasing or decreasing reflections. When shooting black and white, pairing with a red filter can simulate a threatening storm effect.
Essential Gear
Alongside UV or Skylight filters, a polarizing filter is essential for any photographer's kit, transforming ordinary images into creative photos by increasing color saturation.
Hoya HRT Circular Polarizing Filter Features
The Hoya HRT circular polarizing filter features a unique High Rate Transmission (HRT) film that allows more visible light to pass through while maintaining the same degree of polarization. This results in approximately 1/3 stop more light intake without reducing polarization effectiveness, benefiting digital and HD camera technologies. The HRT film is also used in the latest HD LCD TVs. The filter glass includes UV absorbing properties, making it a combined UV and circular polarizing filter.
