Product details
Polarizing Filters
Polarizing filters control the light rays entering the camera lens by selecting polarized light. They effectively remove unwanted reflections from non-metallic surfaces such as water or glass and enhance color saturation and contrast. The effect is visible through the viewfinder and can be adjusted by rotating the filter. The filter factor varies depending on the rotation and orientation relative to the sun.
Using Polarizers in Photography
This filter is ideal for outdoor photography, such as landscapes with cloud-filled skies or water scenes, allowing you to:
- Make clouds stand out prominently
- Adjust the saturation of ocean or water bodies
- Control reflections on water surfaces
It is also effective when shooting through glass or windows by increasing or decreasing reflections as desired.
Black and White Photography
When shooting black and white images, using a red filter can simulate a threatening storm atmosphere, adding dramatic effect to the scene.
Essential Gear
A polarizing filter, alongside UV or skylight filters, is essential equipment for photographers. It transforms ordinary images into striking photos by enhancing color saturation and reducing glare.
Filter Features
The Hoya HD Circular Polarizer features hardened glass with four times the tensile strength of traditional filters. It is designed for modern digital cameras with sensors sensitive to reflected light, incorporating special coatings to reduce internal reflections for clearer, brighter, and sharper images.

- Eliminates ultraviolet rays to reduce haze and polarizes light to remove reflections without altering overall color balance
- Enhances blue skies and makes clouds more prominent
- Optimal performance when used at a right angle to the sun
- 8-layer multi-coating minimizes reflections, reducing flare and ghosting
- Water and oil repellent, scratch and stain resistant
- Four times the breaking strength in ANSI standardized testing, tested against steel balls dropped from 127 cm height
- Compatible with cameras using beam splitters in TTL light meter paths and autofocus systems
