Hoya - 55MM NXT Plus CRPL Filter
About this product
The must-have filter in every photographer’s camera bag, Hoya’s NXT Plus 55mm Circular Polarizer has 10 layers of Hoya’s patented anti-reflection (AR) multi-coatings so your images show improved contrast, color and sharpness. The filter applies a waterproof top-coat to Hoya’s polished smooth "Clear" glass for easy cleaning of dirt, smudges and water. The polarizing film is optical thin with a filter factor of 1.72 (less than 2 stops) for faster AF and improved viewing over standard PL films. Hoya’s high quality polarized glass is mounted into a precision milled aluminum slim frame, making it lightweight and perfect for all of your lenses including super wide-angle lenses. Despite the slim profile the filter includes front filter threads so you can attach additional filters or your protective lens cap. Polarizers do one thing: Remove Reflections. Think sunglasses for your lenses. By removing reflections, you reveal the color, texture and detail beneath. So, leaves are greener, skies are bluer, and the beautiful rocks at the bottom of that secret mountain lake are revealed. CRPL’s are also great for removing reflections from car windows, and painted surfaces. Depending on the lighting conditions the effect can be dramatic or subtle but it never hurts to pop it on and give it a try. Circular polarizers are easy to use too. Once attached to your lens simply rotate the outer ring of the filter while looking through your viewfinder or screen until you achieve the right amount of reflection control. When the colors and detail look right, take the picture.

Sunpak’s popular line of Circular Polarizers and Filters help you improve image impact and quality The Sunpak 58mm Circular Polarizer (CPL) is meticulously crafted from the high-quality multi-coated optical glass optimized for today’s cameras. And they are backed by a one-year warranty against defects in material and workmanship. Circular Polarizer reduces reflections, intensifies colors and deepens sky for dramatic images. The multi-coated circular polarizer reduces reflections from non-metallic surfaces and cuts through haze so that you can increase color saturation and contrast and deepens the color of the sky when used for landscape images. Also useful when shooting window scenes and water by greatly reducing or eliminating reflections. The durable low-profile aluminum-magnesium alloy filter ring construction is ideal for wide-angle lenses and telephoto lenses.
Polarizing FiltersPolarizers provide color and contrast enhancement. Reflected light often shows up as whitish glare that washes out color in an image. A Polarizer corrects this problem producing deep, dramatically blue skies. It also removes glare from non-metallic surfaces, such as windows and water. Color saturation in general, especially outdoors, can be improved significantly.Polarizer/Circular Polarizer Essential general-use outdoor color filter Produces deeper skies and minimizes reflections in black and white and color photography Combine a Polarizer with a Red 25 (available separately) for incredibly dramatic black and white landscapes Can be rotated to achieve desired effect Use the Tiffen Polarizer with the enhancing filter for more dramatic effects Also available for Wide Angle lensesA Circular Polarizer has the same effect as a Polarizer and is used on cameras with beam splitting metering systems commonly found on auto focus SLR's (for most 35mm auto-focus cameras see your camera manual).Area of sky most effectively polarized with a Circular Polarizer: Point your index finger at the sun. With your thumb extended at a right angle (90 Degree), rotate it around the axis of the index finger. It will point out the band of deepest blue from horizon to horizon.
