Definitely must have.

It is high quality and performs amazingly well provided, of course, that the reflected light comes from the correct angle. Apparently I cannot share a couple of photos showing its performance.

B+W all day long

I knew it would do what I wanted, and it did. I've always been a German optics proponent, whether for day-light or astro-photography. Haven't gone wrong yet.

Good polarizing filter, little bit tight

This is a good filter, but turning the ring was a bit tight. I added a bit of lubricating oil to make it better, which is why I didn?t give it 5 stars.

Great filter for outdoor portraits and landscapes

The optical clarity of the filter is excellent, B+W always makes flawless glass. I ordered this for taking photos with my Canon 50mm f/1.4 lens and it fits excellently. The threads are clean, precise, and sharp, the rotation of the polarizer element is smooth and flawless. For cutting down reflection glare in outdoor portraits nothing beats this filter in it's price range.

Polarization

I purchased this polarizer for a Leica 23mm TL lens. The B + W 52mm F-Pro Kaesemann High Transmission is clear and doesn?t cause a significant loss of light.

Cuts glare indoors, too!

I have used this polarizer to great effect indoors, when unfavorably-placed lights create unfavorable glare on wooden floors.

Great choice for removing glare from product photography

I photograph my husband's wood turnings for his website and shows. Fighting excessive light glare on his turned pieces that are highly polished can be an issue. I was advised to use a polarizing filter. This filter is great and works like a charm. It only takes a small adjustment to remove the glare while not adversely affecting the blue color when used on a turning. The threads don't bind when screwing onto the lens and the ring rotates smoothly. I am looking forward to using it in outdoor photography.

Works but cheaper now than 2 weeks ago

It works great with no color cast that I have seem after shooting hundreds of images. My only regret is that I didn't buy it today vs. 2 weeks ago. It is now cheaper.That's why only the 3 star rating.

Takes polarizing to a whole new level

By Evan W.

I always thought polarizes are all practically the same... I was wrong.... This filter is so good I'm sticking with Kaesemann's (B+W) going forward. The pearl slows the lens at least by 2 stops (maybe even 2.5) on a 50mm f1.8 ii Canon The Nikon slows the lens at least by 1.5 on both L lenses 24-70 (gen i) | 70-200mm is (gen 2) 2.8 The B+W 0.5 stops on a 35mm f/2 is usm I own: An old school Pearl Linear Polarizer 52mm Nikon circular polarizer II 77mm (This one) B+W MRC F-Pro 67mm

A win-win purchase

By Russell E.

Typical polarizes absorb approximately two stops of light. This new design only requires one stop! That's greater depth of field, a higher shutter speed or lower ISO. Take your pick. It's well made, but I would purchase the lower profile version if your lens is below 24mm on a full-frame camera.

Just imagine capturing vivid, saturated colors and reducing unwanted reflections in your photography with the 39mm F-Pro Kaesemann High Transmission Circular Polarizer Filter, featuring MRC Coating. This top-tier B+W Polarizing Filter is designed to enhance your image results with its neutral gray color and plane parallel polarizer material.

Crafted from high-quality optical glass, this filter guarantees superior pictorial quality, making it an essential tool for both professional photographers and hobbyists. The professional F-Pro mount Kasemanns are not only durable but also come equipped with MRC coatings. This multi-resistant coating enhances the filter's performance by reducing reflections and improving light transmission, ensuring your images are always clear and sharp.

The B+W Kaesemann HTC Polarizing Filters are a new generation of filters that provide greater light transmission while maintaining the signature characteristics of a high-quality B+W polarizing filter. These filters are known for their ability to reduce reflections and enhance color saturation, making them invaluable tools for outdoor photography where lighting conditions can change rapidly.

Historically, the use of standard polarizing filters has been associated with a loss of up to 2.5 f/stops of light transmitted, which can affect the desired depth of field or shutter speed. However, the B+W Kaesemann HTC filters have revolutionized this aspect by incorporating a proprietary layer of specially selected, high-transmission polarizing foil. This innovative feature reduces light loss to just 1-1.5 stops, making these filters significantly more effective in low light situations.

In addition to these features, the B+W Kaesemann HTC Polarizing Filters also come with a front thread for additional accessories, offering you more flexibility and creative control in your photography. Experience the difference with the 39mm F-Pro Kaesemann High Transmission Circular Polarizer Filter, MRC Coating, and elevate your photography to new heights.
