Hoya 55mm Polarizing Filter

• Remove unwanted reflections from non-metallic surfaces such as water and glass
• Enable colours to become more saturated and appear clearer
• Increases contrast and saturation in blue skies and white clouds without affecting overall colour balance
• Standard coating suppresses reflection and increases light transmission
• 55 mm filter thread size

Light rays which are reflected by any surface become polarised and polarising filters are used to select which light rays enter your camera lens. PL (Linear Polarising) and PL-CIR (Circular Polarising) filters have the same effect, but it is important that you choose the correct version for your camera. They allow you to remove unwanted reflections from non-metallic surfaces such as water, glass etc. They also enable colours to become more saturated and appear clearer, with better contrast. This effect is often used to increase the contrast and saturation in blue skies and white clouds. HOYA's polarising filters do not affect the overall colour balance of a shot.
