Breakthrough Photography X4 Dark CPL 3-Stop 

Enhance your images with the Breakthrough Photography 82mm 3-Stop Dark Circular Polarizer. Superior image quality, durability, & light reduction. Shop now!

Experience the innovative fusion of Neutral Density (ND) and Circular Polarizer (CPL) filters in the 82mm 3-Stop Dark Circular Polarizer Filter from Breakthrough Photography. This high-quality, durable filter, aptly named 'Dark CPL', is designed to significantly enhance your outdoor photography experience. The Dark CPL filter effectively combines the features of the X4 ND and X4 CPL filters into one versatile tool, eliminating the common issue of vignetting down to 16mm on a full-frame setup. This is a common challenge faced by outdoor photographers when stacking ND and CPL filters. The multi-coated design of this Dark CPL filter is engineered to reduce glare and improve image quality, making it an essential tool for capturing stunning, high-contrast images. It works by filtering out horizontally polarized light, which is often responsible for glare and reflections in photographs. By reducing this type of light, the Dark CPL filter enhances the overall contrast and saturation of your images, while also minimizing lens flare and ghosting.This easy-to-use Dark CPL filter is compatible with a wide range of camera and lens systems, including Leica, Carl Zeiss lenses, Schneider Xenon, Canon Cinema and L lenses, Nikon, Sony, and Fuji among others. Trust in the reputation of Breakthrough Photography, a brand renowned for producing effective, high-quality photography equipment, and elevate your photography with the 82mm 3-Stop Dark Circular Polarizer Filter.

I didn’t find that it worked very well.

Disappointed

First, most obvious, is the elimination of "stacking" the filters!  This does the job of a CPL & a  Negative Density filter-using the same thickness!  #Two; the quality is outstanding; read the specs & decide for yourself about the materials & innovation.  #Three; the thing delivers performance & is tough as nails-do not be afraid to wipe it clean.  I have found the "brother" of the 3-Stop (the 6-Stop) to work equally well and be of like quality; only thing here is that being a "6-stop",  in negative density, the darkness can make it difficult to view exactly what the position of the CPL is doing-takes a little pratice.
