The multi-coated MRC coating on this filter helps to reduce reflections and glare while improving image contrast. This results in clearer, more vibrant photos.
The rounded, circular design of the filter helps to reduce vignetting, or the darkening of the corners of an image. It provides a more even distribution of light, resulting in a more uniform and natural-looking image.
The filter utilizes a proprietary layer of specially selected, high-transmission polarizing foil. This reduces light loss to just 1-1.5 stops, making it highly effective even in low light situations.
The professional F-Pro mount Kasemann design of this filter allows for the attachment of additional accessories. This offers greater versatility and convenience for photographers.

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.

I first ordered one from another online retailer and it turned out to be a fake! Thank you Adorama for making sure all of your products are authentic!!!

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.

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.

BW Filters are the highest quality filters made!! They?re all that I use on my Leitz lenses that I have for my Leica SL2.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.
With the 43mm F-Pro Kaesemann High Transmission Circular Polarizer Filter, you can elevate your photography to new heights. This high-quality, durable filter is designed to enhance color saturation and reduce unwanted reflections, ensuring optimal image results with every shot. Crafted from top-tier optical glass, this filter guarantees excellent pictorial quality, making it an essential tool for any photography enthusiast.
The filter features a neutral gray color and plane parallel polarizer material, specifically designed to provide the best possible image results. Its multi-coated MRC coating not only reduces glare but also improves image contrast, making your photos stand out with vivid, natural colors.
The professional F-Pro mount Kasemann design of this filter is complemented by a front thread for additional accessories, offering versatility and convenience. The rounded, circular design of the filter reduces vignetting and ensures an even distribution of light, resulting in a more uniform and natural-looking image.
The B+W Kaesemann HTC (High Transmission Circular) Polarizer filters are known for their reflection reduction and improved color saturation. These filters are especially valuable for outdoor environments where lighting conditions can change rapidly. Traditional polarizing filters often result in a loss of up to 2.5 f/stops of light, but the B+W Kaesemann HTC filters utilize a proprietary layer of specially selected, high-transmission polarizing foil. This innovative feature reduces light loss to just 1-1.5 stops, making this filter highly effective even in low light situations.
In summary, the 43mm F-Pro Kaesemann High Transmission Circular Polarizer Filter is an easy-to-use, effective tool for enhancing your photography. Whether you're a professional photographer or a hobbyist, this filter is a valuable addition to your gear.
