Hoya Fusion One C-PL Circular Polarizer Filter 72mm

Hoya Fusion One C-PL 72mm Circular Polarizer Filter

Hoya Fusion One is designed to replace the popular Hoya Pro1D series, widely used by both amateur and professional photographers worldwide. This filter combines highly valued features such as multi-layered coating, ultra-high light transmission, high-grade optical glass, and a low-profile frame. It also incorporates a new stain-resistant and water-repellent coating, meeting modern standards in photographic optical accessories.

Key Features

• Eliminates ultraviolet rays to remove haze from outdoor shots
• Polarizes light to remove reflections and increase color saturation without affecting overall color balance
• Dramatically enhances blue skies and makes clouds more prominent
• Best used at a right angle to the sun
• Effective with cameras using beam splitters in the TTL light meter path and with autofocus cameras

Functionality and Usage

Polarizing filters select polarized light rays entering the 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.

This filter is ideal for outdoor photography, such as capturing cloud-filled skies or enhancing water saturation. It can increase or decrease reflections on water or glass surfaces, making it versatile for various shooting conditions.

When shooting black and white, combining this filter with a red filter can simulate a threatening storm effect, adding creative impact to images.

Additional Benefits

• Multi-layer coating for enhanced light transmission and durability
• Water-repellent and stain-resistant surface for easy cleaning and maintenance
• Slim matte black aluminum frame to reduce reflections and vignetting

Alongside UV or Skylight filters, a polarizing filter like the Hoya Fusion One C-PL is an essential part of any photographer's gear, capable of transforming ordinary images into stunning, vibrant photos by increasing color saturation and contrast.
