Questions & Answers

Shopper : will it cause vignetting at a 24mm focal length? (ie.Panasonic FZ200)GARY G : I cannot respond specifically to your Panasonic FZ200, but my use on a Nikon 18-200 lens shows no vignetting at that level. RE: B+W filters - I have been more pleased with them than other brands. My only complaints have been that some of the rotating filters are too stiff for easy operation, and B+W can be difficult to remove from the lens, despite gentle handling when attached. These comments apply to my use on Nikon lenses. Buena suerte.BRIAN D : I use this on a Nikon 18-200mm (27-300mm equivalent) and it does not cause any vignetting for me. Looks like the FZ200 is 25mm equivalent which is a bit wider than my lens, so your mileage may vary.RAJ K : I shoot at widest 15mm(apsc) and it creates a slight vignetting. At 24mm of course its less comparatively, but small enough to crop it out.HERBERT K : I don't know.. I use this filter on my Canon G-12.ALAN N : Don't know. I use it on a 70-200IIROBERT F : I currently use the B+W 52mm polarizer filter with my Tamron 18-270. I have taken pictures of flowers and insects at 18mm with no vignetting. I enjoy using my B+W and think it's a reasonable price for great pictures. Enjoy BobED M : I have seen none at 24mm using a 10-24 lens. I have seen it ever so slightly at 10-12 or so. Best, EdJOSEPH H : I have not experienced vignetting on an 18-55mm lens at any focal length.
Shopper : Why Did You Choose This?PAUL N. J : I recently purchased a new lens and I need a 52mm filter, which I didn't have. Adorama is my place to go to for camera needs.JOHN M : Have several filter from B+WGERALD C : Did not have a 52 mm circular polarizer filter. Decided to go with multi-coated, which I have not used in the past in this type of filter.JAMES H : I've used B&W filters before.Bill W : Adorama is to be trusted and have a great selection.

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.

Great service and support

Great service from Adorama. I ordered the 52mm when I should have ordered teh 55mm. They helped make a quick exchange and I am back in business.

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.

Good quality product

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.

Circular polarizer great in Grand Canyon

Take your photography to the next level with the 52mm Circular Polarizer Multi Coated Glass Filter. This high-quality filter is designed to enhance color saturation across the spectrum, except for black and white, resulting in deep, rich scenic shots. Whether you're capturing dramatic skies or breathtaking aerial views, this polarizer filter adds the perfect amount of contrast to make your images pop.

One of the standout features of this 52mm Circular Polarizer Filter is its ability to eliminate glare from highly reflective surfaces such as glass and water. This makes it an ideal choice for photographers looking to shoot through glass, like helicopter windows, or those aiming to photograph artwork without the distracting glints of light reflecting off textured surfaces.

The filter is composed of two rotating parts, allowing you to manually adjust the degree of saturation, contrast, and glare reduction to suit your specific needs. This gives you greater control over your images and helps you achieve the desired effect with precision.

This 52mm Circular Polarizer Filter is suitable for all types of cameras, including those with beam-splitting metering systems commonly found in auto-focus SLR's and most current TTL SLR's. For rangefinders and older SLR metering systems, a linear variety is also available. Please consult your camera's manual to ensure compatibility.

Additionally, the filter is designed with a groove that allows you to easily attach your lens cap, a feature appreciated by many users. Experience the difference in your photography with the 52mm Circular Polarizer Multi Coated Glass Filter.

B + W MRC Circular Polarizer Features

  • Multi coated for flare prevention.
  • Gives the same deep contrast and glare reducing properties to black and white photography.
