Heliopan 82mm Linear Polarizer Filter

Find the perfect solution to enhance your photography with the 82mm Linear Polarizer Filter. This color-neutral filter is designed to increase your creative possibilities, whether you're shooting in black and white or color. Unlike colored filters, which can alter the hues in your photographs, this polarizer filter maintains the integrity of your original colors while allowing you to adjust contrast and color saturation.

Natural light, particularly sunlight, is polarized and possesses high color purity. However, as it passes through the atmosphere, some of it scatters, resulting in a dull gray haze over all colors. This 82mm Linear Polarizer Filter effectively reduces or eliminates this effect, allowing for clearer, more vibrant images.

When light falls at an angle of approximately 35½ onto reflective surfaces such as water, glass, or plastic, it becomes reflected and polarized. With the use of this polarizer filter, properly oriented, these reflections are absorbed, allowing the true colors to reach your film. This results in transparent water surfaces and more saturated clouds, enhancing the overall quality of your photographs.

The light loss of this polarizer filter ranges between 1 and 1.5 F stops, which can be manually or automatically corrected depending on your camera type. The filter is constructed with a neutral color foil cemented between two plane parallel glass discs, allowing light rays to pass only in one plane. It is mounted in a calibrated rotating ring, enabling easy setting of the desired position and effect.

With an SLR, you can see the result in the finder, while with viewfinder type cameras, you can hold the polarizer in front of your eye and adjust it to achieve the desired effect. The calibrated rim on every 82mm Linear Polarizer Filter makes it easy to set the filter to the same position on the lens.

This filter is particularly useful with camera systems where the built-in light measuring system uses light that has passed through the mirror via a beam splitter. The circular polarizer has a second component, a 1/4 wave plate in its construction, which sets the polarized light in rotation and allows it to pass without interruption through the measuring system for accurate measurements.

Avoid overheating of the polarizing filter for optimal performance. Enhance your photography with the 82mm Linear Polarizer Filter and capture the world in its true colors.
