Overview

The UX CIR-PL Slim circular polarizer filter is now offered in new packaging as an entry-level filter alongside the new UX UV filter. This filter series is specially designed for beginner photographers seeking affordable filters.

The "UX" series name stands for "User eXperience," highlighting the enhanced experience users gain when using these filters. The goal of the UX series is to provide users with better individual usage experiences across all photography-related activities.

Compatibility and Functionality

The UX CIR-PL filter is compatible with both film and digital cameras. It effectively reduces reflections on non-metallic surfaces such as water or glass, enhancing color saturation and improving contrast.

Construction

The polarizing filter consists of a polarizing film sandwiched between two glass elements. The front frame rotates, allowing the polarizing film to be positioned at the desired angle.

The filter edges have threads that enable mounting additional filters or lens caps.

Design Advantages

The UX CIR-PL Slim filter completely eliminates vignetting when used with wide-angle lenses.
