The 46mm Slim Mount, Wide Angle Circular Polarizer Filter - SH-PMC enhances color photography by reducing the blush gray haze caused by scattered sunlight, allowing the true colors of your subject to reach the film. Unlike colored filters, it maintains color neutrality, enhancing your image quality without altering the original colors.
The filter is designed to absorb reflected light when it falls at an approximate angle of 35 degrees onto a reflective surface such as water, glass, or plastic. This unique feature makes water surfaces appear transparent and intensifies the saturation of clouds, adding depth and vibrancy to your images.
This circular polarizer filter includes a second component, a 1/4 wave plate, which sets the polarized light in rotation, allowing it to pass without interruption through the measuring system for accurate measurements. It's particularly beneficial for camera systems that use light passed through a mirror via a beam splitter.
The polarizer filter is housed in a calibrated rotating ring, enabling you to easily set the desired position and effect. With an SLR, you can see the result in the finder. With viewfinder type cameras, you can hold the polarizer in front of the eye and turn it to see the desired effect.
It's important to avoid overheating the polarizer filter. Proper care and handling of the filter can help maintain its performance and longevity.

I purchased this 95mm polarizer because it was highly recommended for use with Zeiss 15mm/2.8 Distagon. It ain't cheap but it works real well. Easy to put on and take off. Best of all, no vignetting with my wide angle lens. I am very satisfied with this polarizer.

The filter was excellent. 100% polarized light reduction, brass fittings, slim profile, with great optics. Exactly what I wanted! But the one I received was obviously used. It had dirt, dust, grime, smudges, and fingerprints. I looked back at my order; no, I hadn't accidentally ordered a used one. It was supposed to be new. It must have been a floor demo or used/returned model that was put in the wrong place. Even the case looked like it had been sitting out and sliding around all over the place, with scratched up plastic and a worn label. Customer service was great, they promptly sent me a post-paid UPS label to ship it back to them. I've asked for the same model filter again in exchange, hopefully a new one will arrive this time. Unfortunately we got what will probably be our only snowfall this year and I wasn't able to use the polarizer.

I really like the slim mount multi coated filters from Heliopan. I really wish they would make them in 43mm as well for the Biogons.
