Product details
Hoya HRT 58mm Circular Polarizing (CIR-PL) Filter
Functionality
Polarizing filters selectively control the light rays entering the camera lens by filtering polarized light. They effectively remove unwanted reflections from non-metallic surfaces such as water and glass, while enhancing color saturation and contrast. The polarization 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.
Usage Scenarios
This filter is ideal for outdoor photography, such as capturing cloud-filled skies or enhancing the saturation of water bodies. It can increase or decrease reflections on water or glass surfaces, allowing creative control over the image. It is also useful for black and white photography to simulate dramatic weather effects when combined with other filters.
Technical Features
- Incorporates High Rate Transmission (HRT) film that allows more visible light to pass through while maintaining effective polarization.
- Permits approximately 1/3 stop more light intake compared to standard polarizers, benefiting digital and HD camera systems.
- Glass element includes UV absorbing properties, combining UV filter protection with circular polarization.
- Eliminates ultraviolet rays to reduce haze and improve clarity in outdoor shots without affecting color balance.
- Enhances blue skies and makes clouds more prominent when used at a right angle to the sun.
- Compatible with cameras using beam splitters in TTL light meters and autofocus systems.
Additional Information
The Hoya HRT polarizing filter also functions as a UV filter, protecting the camera lens without altering optical properties such as color balance, focus, or brightness. It minimizes ultraviolet effects like haziness, contrast loss, color shifts, and vignetting. The filter size is 58mm, suitable for lenses with this thread diameter.
