About B + W Basic CPL Filter
FEATURED REVIEWS
100% as good as you would expect from B+W
Sometimes I forget just how much better B+W filters are than others. I again tried a more budget-oriented brand and finally had to replace it. These polarizers are just so good - very pronounced effect, smooth turning, no perceptible color cast, and I have never, not once had a B+W filter get stuck on a lens. I have used the top -of-the-line polarizers from B+W, but honestly this entry-level model is all I need for my professional work.
An excellent choice
Circular polarizing filter is a must for landscape photography. The B+W was a great choice. It fits snuggly on the lens but is easy to take off when not needed. Allows plenty of light onto the sensor while blocking reflections from water or chrome. Gives nice rendering of colors without being overly saturated.
Discover the transformative power of the 46mm Basic Circular Polarizer MRC Filter, a crucial tool for both analog and digital photography. This B+W polarizing filter enhances the inherent vibrancy of your images, amplifying color saturation to capture the stunning contrast of bright white clouds against a deep blue sky or the rich hues of autumn foliage.
With its rotating filter mounts, you can visibly control the polarization effect directly through your camera's viewfinder or on the monitor display. This feature allows you to manipulate light and color in real-time, adding depth and dimension to your images without the need for post-processing.
One of the standout features of the B+W polarizer is its ability to reduce reflections from non-metallic surfaces such as water, glass, and glossy paint. This means that objects and people obscured by reflective surfaces, like shop windows or car windshields, become visible again, offering a unique and fascinating image enhancement.
Designed as a circular polarizer, this filter is compatible with nearly all modern cameras, especially those using beam splitters in the light path for TTL exposure metering or autofocus. This compatibility ensures that exposure errors are avoided, providing you with consistently high-quality images.
The filter's multiplying factor with HTC is 2 to 3, equivalent to 1 to 1.5 f-stops, while other polarizers can reach up to approximately 3 stops. This makes the 46mm Basic Circular Polarizer MRC Filter one of the most important filters for photography, capable of completely suppressing reflections in ideal conditions.
For optimal results in landscape photography, achieve maximum polarization effect by shooting at a 90-degree angle to the sun. To ensure an even effect in your images, your focal length should not be less than 28 mm in 35 mm format due to uneven skylight polarization. With the right lighting and shooting angles, which typically range from 30 to 40 degrees, you can achieve maximum polarization and stunning photographic results.
