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.

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.

Find the perfect companion for your photography endeavors in the 82mm X2 Circular Polarizer Filter. Crafted with critically sharp AGC glass from Japan, this filter offers unparalleled color neutrality, making it the top choice for professional photographers seeking the best circular polarizer on the market.

The X2 CPL filter, proudly made in the USA by Breakthrough Photography, features an innovative traction frame design. Unlike traditional flat black polarizers with smooth surfaces that are often challenging to rotate, this filter incorporates CNC machined traction directly into the sides of the frame. This unique design allows for easy and secure attachment and removal of the filter, as well as effortless rotation with just one finger - a significant advantage when a lens hood is attached.

The state-of-the-art 8-layer multi-resistant coating on this filter effectively eliminates flaring and ghosting, enhancing your image quality. Moreover, the nanotec nano coating layers serve as a protective shield, repelling dust, water, and other elements, making the filter faster and easier to clean.

Constructed with environmentally friendly aluminum, the X2 CPL filter is not only incredibly durable but also astonishingly light. Its weather-sealed construction ensures your lens remains protected from the elements, while the double-threaded design allows for easy filter stacking.

The X2 CPL filter is fully compatible with all your lens caps, making it a versatile addition to your photography equipment. Experience the difference in image quality with the 82mm X2 Circular Polarizer Filter, designed for the discerning photographer who values high-quality, effective, and professional equipment.
