Tiffen 82CP 82mm Circular Polariser Filter, blue

Product Information

The Hoya HD filters are significantly better than anything I've ever used due to their high durability and superior light transmission. The circular polarizer helps cameras accurately meter light in the scene. It also reduces the effects of a mirror on your camera. Circular polarizers twist. This lets you gradually modify the light waves. You can reduce some reflections while leaving others. Filters come in a range of sizes to fit different-sized lenses. The size of the filter affects the cost. Most companies offer filters in a range of standard sizes from 52 to 82mm. The larger filters cost more. When comparing prices, look at filters of the same size. A 58mm filter will seem inexpensive compared to an 82mm filter regardless of features.

The glass quality and coatings applied can affect image quality. Depending on the quality of your lens, you may or may not see a difference. But if you mount a low-quality filter on a high-quality lens, the image quality diminishes. Metal Casing If what you are looking for are good quality filters that do not negatively affect your image and that are very comfortable to transport and use, I would definitely buy magnetic ones. Carrying the squares is sometimes a nuisance and the threaded ones are much more uncomfortable for me, in addition to the risk of them falling off, I am a bit of a hand and it has already happened to me several times with the threaded ones. With these at the moment no problem and very happy.

Circular Polarising 】Effectively filter out harmful reflections on non-metallic surfaces such as water and glass, Rotate the filter to achieve the correct amount of filtration required. With CPL，you can make the sky bluer, the leaves greener, reduce or eliminate reflections, and the final image is clearer. A Polariser filter has three important attributes that contribute towards an image. The first attribute is that a polariser will remove any glare in the image that can be caused by light reflecting off an object, like water or glass. Double-sided 36-layer nano-coating】Super waterproof, anti-smudge, anti-scratch, providing excellent durability for your filter The polariser filter can be rotated once attached to the filter thread to achieve the desired polarisation effect. Premium Quality Glass】The Polarizing Filter made of best Germany optical glass with almost zero light distortion. Featured with top level of filter function, effectively eliminate harmful reflective light.

In terms of image quality I have little complaint, I have not appreciated any loss of sharpness or any color cast. I have been able to use both the UV+CPL+ND1000 up to 12mm on my APSC camera without vignetting. Double Coated】Adopted 28-Layer multi-resistant double coating technology, the green coating helps effectively reduce filter surface reflection and the ghosting while making the filter anti-scratch, water repellent, oil and dust resistant. Before/after: Polarizers cut through reflections on water and glass, and improve contrast and colours of skies (Image credit: Future)How does Hoya do this? Easy: they use the same extra-expensive, extra efficient polarizing material as is used in LCD panels, where brightness and efficiency are everything. Some manufacturers will use hydrophobic coatings to help repel water, but we'd still recommend being careful when using your polarizer around water.

Not only do they have magic coatings which really do repel dirt and fingerprints, the polarizing filters allow about one full stop more light to come through, effectively giving you an extra stop of either ISO, lens speed or shutter speed, for free! The filter I use the most is the ND1000 and it is very easy to use. Put the parameters you consider for the photo and focus, change the camera to manual focus so that the focus remains fixed, place the ND1000. Now you will see everything dark and you will have to change the time. What time do I use? Very simple, take the time you have set and multiply it by 1000. A 1/125 photo without a filter should be taken at approximately 8 seconds to obtain a similar exposure. You avoid moving your camera is you want to change the filter!!! This is the most important feature I would say!! Handmade genuine leather filter bag】Equipped with genuine leather material specially designed by K&F Concept for photographers, pure handmade storage bag The number and quality of coatings on the polarizer filter significantly affected the price. Some filters have no coatings at all. The more expensive filters have coatings that reduce glare. They also make the filter scratch-resistant.They come in a padded cover with an inverted zipper to prevent some water from getting inside in case of rain. It can be clipped on your belt or anywhere else for convenient wearing or carrying. The use is quite easy, you simply have to place the thread adapter and place the filter in it, as it is magnetic it immediately catches it and from there it does not move, if I want to change the filter it is as simple as removing it and putting it on, you can see the video where I record the simple process.

Germany HD Optical Glass】16 layers double-side coating with almost zero light distortion. Also effectively reduce filter surface reflection and ghosting while making the filter anti-scratch, water repellent, oil and dust resistant. ND & CPL filter 2 in 1】One filter has the ND and CPL filter features, it can not only reduce the amount of light entering the lens but also darken skies, manage reflections as the same time. Because polarizers are mainly used by landscape photographers, build quality is a factor. The best polarizing filters are lightweight and protected by a strong, metal casing. The quality of the metal casing determines how easy the filter is to screw onto your lens and the ease of rotation. Build quality? Good, clean design, slim filters, nice pouch(has a ring so you can attach it to the bag, tripod and so on. The less expensive filters use metals like aluminum. The higher-priced filters tend to be made from brass. Higher-quality filters can resist breaking when dropped. They keep their shape even if used frequently. The lower-quality metals may bend with use. Filter SizeAccording to its makers, this filter is the sharpest on the market. They also claim it is the most color-neutral polarizer available. The filter has textured edges and polarization guides printed on the side. These help you find maximum polarization. Filters are weather sealed to withstand water, dust, wind, and salt. I love using filters, the polarizing filter in forests or on the coast I find it essential, also when there is hard light, when there are low moving clouds and in rivers, waterfalls and coasts I love using the ND filter. In situations where I don't require the polarizing filter or ND filter, I like to use Ultraviolet to protect the lens. The CPL filter effectively eliminates the reflection of the non-metallic surface, thereby improving the image quality of the subject, and improving the clarity of the picture can effectively increase the saturation of the color. The lens adopts a double-sided polishing process and is used on a telephoto lens. The photos are still clear, high-fidelity, restore the true colors of things;
