Marumi Slim Fit Circular Polarizer Filter 62mm

The Marumi Slim Fit Circular Polarization Filter is an ultra-thin filter designed primarily for use with wide-angle lenses. With a thickness of only 7mm, it is significantly slimmer than standard circular polarizing filters which typically measure 10.4mm in thickness. This slim profile helps to prevent vignetting when used on wide-angle lenses.

Key Features

• Internal layers of satin surface coating to significantly reduce reflections.
• Designed to produce photos with enhanced contrast and richer colors.
• Front thread allows attachment of additional filters or lens caps.
• Extremely lightweight and manufactured without lead, making it environmentally friendly.
• Thickness: 7mm, ideal for wide-angle lenses to avoid vignetting.

Functionality and Usage

The circular polarizing filter is used to enhance colors and contrast in photographs while minimizing reflections. It is particularly useful when photographing subjects behind glass, such as in museums, or capturing images of animals beneath water surfaces. By rotating the outer ring of the filter, photographers can adjust the degree of polarization to either reduce reflections or enhance image depth.

Additionally, the filter is effective for landscape photography by intensifying blue tones in the sky and increasing the contrast of clouds, making it suitable for outdoor daytime use.

Comparison with Other Marumi Filters

• Unlike DHG and Super DHG filters, the Slim Fit filter is extremely thin but does not have water, grease, or dust resistance.
• It features anti-reflective coating and a cover fixing mechanism similar to other Marumi filters.
• It is not made with the x7 stronger glass found in the EXUS series.
