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.

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!!!

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.

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.

BW Filters are the highest quality filters made!! They?re all that I use on my Leitz lenses that I have for my Leica SL2.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.
While capturing the perfect shot, the 82mm F-Pro Kaesemann High Transmission Circular Polarizer Filter with MRC Coating from B+W is an indispensable tool for any photographer. This high-quality filter enhances color saturation and minimizes reflections, thanks to its neutral gray color and plane parallel polarizer material. Crafted from superior optical glass, it ensures outstanding image quality, making it a preferred choice for professional photographers.
The F-Pro mount Kasemanns, a unique feature of this B+W filter, is equipped with MRC coatings and a front thread for attaching additional accessories. This design not only enhances the filter's durability but also improves its performance, making it a versatile addition to your photography kit.
The B+W Kaesemann HTC (High Transmission Circular) Polarizer filters are a new addition to the B+W family. These filters are known for their ability to reduce reflections and enhance color saturation, making them an invaluable asset for outdoor photography. Traditional polarizing filters often result in a loss of up to 2.5 f/stops of light, affecting the desired depth of field or shutter speed. However, the B+W Kaesemann HTC filters are a game-changer.
These next-generation filters employ a specially selected, high-transmission polarizing foil that reduces light loss to just 1-1.5 stops. This feature significantly improves their performance in low light situations, making them a reliable choice for photographers shooting in varying light conditions. Trust the 82mm F-Pro Kaesemann High Transmission Circular Polarizer Filter with MRC Coating to deliver exceptional results, every time.
