FORMATT - Filter Circular Polarizer 5x5"

Description

After a clear protection filter, a polarizer is probably the first glass filter which any camera user should purchase. The principal use of the polarizer is to eliminate surface reflections, glare and hot spots from any light source entering the camera. This reflected light often shows up as a whitish glare which reduces the color in the image. The polarizer is used for color and contrast enhancement and removes reflections from substances such as water and glass. It can darken a blue sky and increases color saturation. When two polarizers are placed together it is possible to achieve near black out, dependent on the angle in which they are aligned. This enables intense effects to be created. One of the polarizers is rotated until the required effect is achieved. The filter is also available in 100x144mm, 100mm, 144mm and 168mm sizes. Formatt-Hitech glass filters are made from the world's highest quality optical glass, Schott Superwite.
