Helps to reduce reflections and glare by filtering out light that has become polarized due to reflection from a non-metallic surface.
Polarizing filters arrange, and filter, directionally polarized light perpendicularly to the reflected light, allowing for the absorption of much of the light.
Clears up haze in distant landscapes and provides more saturated, vivid colors. Strongest effect when used at a 90 angle from the sun.
Non-coated. Approximately 93% average light transmission. 3 to 4x filter factor reduces exposure by 1.6 to 2 stops.
Description
Filter that selects the beams of light that reach the camera sensor, thus preventing the light from being polarized. This prevents unwanted reflections from non-metallic surfaces, such as water, glass, etc. At the same time, it increases the saturation of colors, damaging better contrast.
