Filter fanatic

I'm sort of a fanatic about filters. Years ago, I ruined quite a few shots before I got serious about filter quality. That I selected this particular filter, speaks to my confidence in B+W filters.

Enjoyed using this B+W before on other lenses. So bought it again.

Have used this B+W polarizer before. Bought this one for use on some older Nikon lenses. Really like it because of how well it does it’s job and how well constructed it is. Neither B+W filters nor B&H have ever disappointed me.

Well working Circ Polirizing filter

when the filter is applied it still lets you put the lens cap back on as the filter has a groove just like the lens to hold the lens cap in place. Wish all filters had that.

Oooops

The problem with this is I ordered this lens and it was the wrong one due to my doing. However, the staff was curious enough to send a return label and accept my mistake. So, this review is more about the staff service being so great as to help me with my dilemma with such great professionalism. Thanks Adorama folks.

Hard to find

It's hard to find 39mm filters. Finding one from B+W is a plus. Works great on my Fuji 60mm macro lens.

Great for photographing artwork

I bought this filter so I could photgraph my paintings without getting distracting glints of light reflecting off the peaks of highly textured oil paint. It does exactly what I hoped it would do without altering the validity of the colors of my artwork.

Wanted a Polarizing filter for landscapes that would be less prone to flare under certain lighting conditions. This product fits that need.

Circular polarizer great in Grand Canyon

Shooting through the glass of a helocopter was no problem as I was able to 'tune out' the reflections from the chopper glass.

Just imagine capturing deep, rich scenic photographs with enhanced color saturation in every hue, except black and white. That's the power of our 46mm Circular Polarizer Multi Coated Glass Filter. Designed to add contrast, this filter is perfect for dramatic skies and aerial shots, turning your ordinary photos into extraordinary works of art.

This high-quality, durable filter is not just about adding vibrancy to your images. It also effectively eliminates glare from highly reflective surfaces like glass and water, ensuring your shots are always clear and detailed.

The filter features a two-part lens system that rotates, giving you the versatility to select the degree of additional saturation, contrast, and glare reduction you desire. This makes it an essential tool for both professional photographers and hobbyists alike.

Our 46mm Circular Polarizer Multi Coated Glass Filter comes in two varieties. The circular type is compatible with all types of cameras, including those with beam-splitting metering systems commonly found in auto-focus SLR's and most current TTL SLRs. Always check your camera's manual to ensure compatibility. The linear type is ideal for rangefinders and older SLR metering systems.

Incorporating a multi-coated coating, this filter reduces reflections and glare, resulting in improved image quality and contrast. As a circular polarizer, it also reduces glare and reflections from non-metallic surfaces, such as water or glass, enhancing contrast and saturation in your final image.

Whether you're shooting landscapes, cityscapes, or portraits, the 46mm Circular Polarizer Multi Coated Glass Filter is designed to improve the overall quality of your images, making every shot a masterpiece.
