B + W 40.5mm Basic Circular Polarizer MRC Filter

Take your photography to the next level with the 40.5mm Basic Circular Polarizer MRC Filter, an essential tool for both amateur and professional photographers aiming to capture the true essence of the natural world. This high-quality filter is designed to enhance the purity of intrinsic colors, significantly increasing color saturation to make your images pop with vibrancy. Whether you're photographing radiant white clouds set against a deep blue sky or the rich hues of autumn leaves, this filter is your key to breathtaking results.

Crafted with durability in mind, the filter features a multi-resistant coating (MRC) that not only reduces reflections, glare, and lens flare but also protects your lens from dust, moisture, and scratches. The effectiveness of this filter is evident as it improves image quality and contrast, ensuring that your photos convey the depth and detail you strive for.

The versatility of the 40.5mm Basic Circular Polarizer MRC Filter is unmatched. Its circular design minimizes vignetting and ensures an even distribution of light across the image, resulting in a more uniform and natural appearance. The filter's rotating mount allows photographers to visibly control the polarization effect in real-time, either through the viewfinder or on the monitor display, giving you the creative freedom to adjust to the perfect setting for each shot.

Easy to use, this circular polarizer is compatible with nearly all modern cameras, including those with beam splitters in the light path used for TTL exposure metering or autofocus. This compatibility ensures that exposure errors are avoided, and the filter's light loss is minimal, with a multiplying factor of only 2 to 3, equivalent to 1 to 1.5 f-stops, compared to other polarizers that can cause up to approximately 3 stops of light loss.

In addition to enhancing natural colors, this polarizer is highly effective in reducing reflections from non-metallic surfaces such as water, glass, and glossy paint. This means that objects and people obscured by reflective surfaces become visible again, allowing for a fascinating enhancement of your images without the need for post-processing.

For landscape photographers, the maximum polarization effect is achieved when shooting at a 90-degree angle to the sun, and for an even effect across your image, it's recommended to use a focal length of no less than 28mm in 35mm format. With proper orientation, this polarizer can completely suppress reflections, creating the ideal situation for capturing the world as it truly appears.

Elevate your photographic work with the clarity, contrast, and color that the 40.5mm Basic Circular Polarizer MRC Filter brings to every shot. It's not just a filter; it's an indispensable asset for capturing the world in its full splendor.
