Review Summary

Rated 3 out of 5

Good CPL

The BTP X2 CPL looks well made and ring has solid points to help fingers rotate the CPL ring. When compared to a Hoya HD2 CPL the coloration and darkness are visually indistinguishable, both with a slight yellow tint. Ring depth is the same. Now BTP has the new X4 (which BPT says that the X4 was designed and made by them) and interestingly, although BTP compares the new X4 and X2 CPL to many other leading brands, yet BTP does not compare them with Hoya. All told, it could be that the BTP X2 CPL lens was/is a Hoya HD2 lens filter.

No complaints with these filters at all! Love the quality and the build, even with the step-up rings. Superb. And made in the U.S.

Breakthrough Photography X2 72mm CPL ---> Fantastic Filter!

Fantastic Circular Polarizing Filter. From the packaging to the scalloped edges making rotation the filter easier to the noticeable effects, everything about this filter speak "quality!"

Sharp with no noticeable color cast as advertised

Filter's construction and optical performance are as advertised...no noticeable degradation of image sharpness or any color cast. Worth it.

No complaints with these filters at all! Love the quality and the build, even with the step-up rings. Superb. And made in the U.S.

Enhance your photography experience with the 49mm X2 Circular Polarizer Filter, featuring a brass frame, edge traction, and Nanotec coating. This high-quality filter, manufactured by Breakthrough Photography, is designed with critically sharp AGC glass from Japan, ensuring the most color-neutral performance among all circular polarizers available in the market.

The state-of-the-art 8-layer multi-resistant coating on this filter effectively eliminates flaring and ghosting, providing you with clear, high-quality images. Proudly made in the USA, the Breakthrough Photography polarizing film delivers the most color-neutral results of any CPL filter, making it a must-have for professional photographers and photography enthusiasts alike.

The Nanotec nano coating layers on this filter repel dust, water, and other elements, making it easy and quick to clean. The unique ultra-slim traction frame design, coupled with edge traction, provides the smoothest rotation of any CPL filter. This feature makes it easy to rotate the front ring without having excess play, even when a lens hood is attached.

The 49mm X2 Circular Polarizer Filter is not just about superior performance, but also about durability. It is CNC machined with environmentally friendly aluminum, making it incredibly durable yet astonishingly light. The weather-sealed construction protects your lens from the elements, and the Nanotec coating ensures that water, dust, and other elements repel rather than stick.

The X2 CPL filter is double-threaded, allowing for easy filter stacking. It is fully compatible with all your lens caps, making it a versatile addition to your photography equipment. Experience the difference with the 49mm X2 Circular Polarizer Filter, designed for effortless use and exceptional results.
