Hoya - 82mm Linear Polarizer Glass Filter

The must-have filter in every photographer’s camera bag, Hoya’s NXT Plus 82mm 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.

The HOYA 82mm HRT Circular Polarizer Glass Filter is a cutting-edge tool for photographers, designed with High-Rate Transparency (HRT) film. This innovative technology allows more visible light to pass through the filter, while maintaining the same level of polarized light filtration. As a result, the HOYA HRT circular polarizer filter can transmit up to 25% more light through the polarizing film, providing photographers with approximately 1/3 stop more light than a standard circular polarizer. This advanced polarizing film is also utilized in the latest HD LCD TVs, demonstrating its high-quality performance. The glass of the HOYA HRT filter is not just a polarizer but also a UV absorber, making it a versatile combination UV/circular polarizing filter. The most common application for a circular polarizer filter is to darken bright blue skies in outdoor photography. However, it also has the ability to reduce or eliminate reflections from non-metallic surfaces such as glass and water. By simply rotating the outer ring of the filter, photographers can observe the change of effect either through the filter itself or through the viewfinder when it's mounted on a camera. As the world's largest optical glass manufacturer, HOYA produces glass to spec for almost every camera and lens manufacturer. They are also recognized as the world's largest filter manufacturer, ensuring the 82mm HRT Circular Polarizer Glass Filter is a product of unparalleled quality and performance.
