Definitely must have.

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.

Authentic B+W

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!!!

B+W all day long

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.

Good polarizing filter, little bit tight

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.

Great filter for outdoor portraits and landscapes

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.

Polarization

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.

Cuts glare indoors, too!

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

Great choice for removing glare from product photography

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.

Works but cheaper now than 2 weeks ago

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.

About B + W F-Pro Kaesemann CPL

FEATURED REVIEWS

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.

Are you in search of a high-quality polarizing filter that enhances color saturation and minimizes reflections Look no further than the 72mm F-Pro Kaesemann High Transmission Circular Polarizer Filter with MRC Coating. This top-tier filter is crafted from neutral gray, plane parallel polarizer material, ensuring optimal image results with every use.

The B+W Polarizing Filters are renowned for their ability to increase color vibrancy and reduce unwanted reflections, making them an invaluable tool for photographers working in fluctuating outdoor environments. The high-quality optical glass used in the construction of these filters guarantees excellent pictorial quality, enhancing your photography experience.

What sets the F-Pro Kaesemann High Transmission Circular Polarizer Filter apart is its Professional F-Pro mount, which features MRC (Multi-Resistant Coating) coatings and a front thread for attaching additional accessories. This feature adds to the filter's versatility and functionality, making it a must-have for professional photographers.

The B+W Kaesemann HTC (High Transmission Circular) Polarizer filters are a new addition to the B+W family, offering greater light transmission while maintaining the signature characteristics of a premium B+W polarizing filter. Traditional polarizing filters often come with a light loss of up to 2.5 f/stops, which can affect the desired depth of field or shutter speed. However, the innovative HTC filters from B+W employ a specially selected, high-transmission polarizing foil layer that reduces light loss to just 1-1.5 stops. This feature makes them highly efficient in low light situations, offering you more flexibility and control over your photography.

In summary, the 72mm F-Pro Kaesemann High Transmission Circular Polarizer Filter with MRC Coating is a high-performance, versatile tool that delivers superior image results, making it an essential addition to any photographer's kit.
