Fantastic polarizer. Really brings out the contrast in the sky and only seems to darken the image by about one F-stop or so. Thinner than cheaper polarizers.

Awesome polarizer.

Fantastic polarizer. Really brings out the contrast in the sky and only seems to darken the image by about one F-stop or so. Thinner than cheaper polarizers.
From capturing the radiant white clouds against a deep blue sky to enhancing the rich colors of fall foliage, the 49mm Master High Transmission Circular Polarizer MRC Nano Filter by B+W is a vital tool for both analog and digital photography. This high-quality and durable filter is designed to augment the purity of intrinsic colors, significantly boosting color saturation for more vibrant and lifelike images.
One of the standout features of this B+W polarizer is its rotating filter mount. This allows photographers to visibly control the polarization effect directly in the viewfinder or on the monitor display, offering a level of precision and flexibility that is essential for professional photography.
Beyond color enhancement, this effective polarizer also serves to reduce reflections from non-metallic surfaces such as water, glass, and glossy paint. This means objects and people obscured by these reflective surfaces become visible again, providing a fascinating image enhancement without the need for post-processing.
The B+W polarizing filters are circular polarizers, making them compatible with nearly all modern cameras, especially when beam splitters are used in the light path for TTL exposure metering or autofocus. This ensures that exposure errors are avoided, contributing to the overall quality of your photographs.
With a multiplying factor of 2 to 3, equivalent to 1 to 1.5 f-stops, this versatile filter outperforms other polarizers that only offer up to approximately 3 stops. This makes it an easy-to-use and effective tool for controlling light and depth of field in your images.
To achieve the maximum polarization effect in landscape photography, it is recommended to shoot at an angle of 90 degrees to the sun. And for an even effect in the picture, your focal length should ideally not be less than 28mm in 35mm format.
In an ideal situation, with the help of a properly oriented polarizer, reflections can be completely suppressed. This ideal situation refers to when the lighting and shooting angles are almost the same and correspond to the angle of maximum polarization, usually 30 to 40 degrees.
In conclusion, the 49mm Master High Transmission Circular Polarizer MRC Nano Filter by B+W is an indispensable tool for photographers looking to enhance their images with rich, vibrant colors and reduced reflections.
