Features and Functions: PL-CIR (Circular Polarizing) filters allow you to remove unwanted reflections from non-metallic surfaces such as water, glass etc. They also enable colors 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 Description: Circular Polarizer - Light rays which are reflected become polarized. Polarizing filters are used to select which light rays enter your camera lens. They can remove unwanted reflections from non-metallic surfaces such as water or glass and also saturate colors providing better contrast. The effect can be seen through the viewfinder and changed by rotating the filter. The filter factor varies according to how the filter is rotated and its orientation to the sun. Multicoated to minimize reflection at the filter surfaces which reduces flare and ghosting.
