Tiffen 82mm Circular Polarizer

Polarizing Filter
Polarizers enhance color and contrast representation. Reflected light often appears as a whitish glare that overshadows the colors in an image. A polarizer solves this problem and creates deep blue, dramatic skies. It also removes glare from non-metallic surfaces such as windows and water. Overall color saturation, especially outdoors, can be significantly improved.

Polarizer/Circular Polarizer
An important, versatile color filter for outdoor use. It produces deeper skies and minimizes reflections in black-and-white and color photography. Combine a polarizer with a Red 25 for incredibly dramatic black-and-white landscapes. It can be rotated to achieve the desired effect. Use the Tiffen polarizer with the enhancement filter for more dramatic effects. Available for wide-angle lenses.

A circular polarizer has the same effect as a polarizer and is used on cameras with light-splitting exposure metering systems, commonly found in autofocus DSLRs (for most 35mm autofocus cameras, refer to your camera manual).

Area of the sky that is most effectively polarized with a circular polarizer: Point your index finger at the sun. Keep your thumb at a right angle (90°) and rotate it around the axis of your index finger. This will indicate the area of the deepest blue from horizon to horizon.

Warm Polarizer
Combines the benefits of a linear polarizer with the warming effect of the 812 color warming filter, making it ideal for portraits and landscapes.
