The main function of this filter is to reduce glare and increase contrast and color saturation in your images. It's particularly effective in reducing reflections from non-metallic surfaces and enhancing colors in bright or harsh lighting conditions.
The wide-angle design of this filter allows more light to pass through, which is beneficial for capturing broader scenes in landscape and architectural photography. The slim mount design also minimizes vignetting, ensuring clear images right to the edges.
The calibrated rotating ring allows you to adjust the orientation of the filter to control the polarizing effect. You can see the changes in real-time when using an SLR camera or by holding the filter up to your eye with viewfinder-type cameras.
This filter is designed for cameras with a 55mm lens. It is particularly effective with AF-camera systems that measure light through a beam splitter, ensuring accurate focusing and exposure measurements.
The SH-PMC 16 Layer Super Hard Multi-Coating is a special coating applied to the filter that enhances its durability and effectiveness. It helps to reduce reflections and glare, resulting in improved image quality.

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.

Experience the transformative effects of our 55mm Slim Mount, Wide Angle Circular Polarizer Filter, expertly crafted with SH-PMC 16 Layer Super Hard Multi-Coating. This high-quality filter is an essential tool for photographers aiming to capture vivid, glare-free images with enhanced contrast and color saturation.
Constructed with a neutral color foil encased between two plane-parallel glass discs, this durable filter selectively allows light rays to pass through in one plane, effectively reducing the scattering of light. The result is a noticeable reduction in the bluish-gray haze that can dull colors in your photographs, allowing the true hues to shine through with greater clarity and purity.
Our innovative circular polarizer is particularly effective when dealing with reflections from non-metallic surfaces such as water, glass, and plastics. By orienting the filter correctly, unwanted reflections are absorbed, rendering water surfaces more transparent and clouds in the sky more dramatically saturated.
The versatility of this filter is further enhanced by its wide-angle design, which ensures an ample amount of light reaches your camera's sensor, making it ideal for landscape and architectural photography. The slim mount design minimizes vignetting, ensuring that your wide-angle shots remain clear and unaffected at the edges.
Equipped with a calibrated rotating ring, the filter allows for precise control of the polarizing effect. You can easily see the changes in real-time when using an SLR camera, or by holding the filter up to your eye with viewfinder-type cameras. The calibrated rim on every filter ensures consistent application to your lens, optimizing your shooting experience.
This effective polarizer has a light loss of between 1 and 1.5 F stops, which can be manually or automatically corrected depending on your camera type. It is essential for photographers using AF-camera systems, as the circular design is compatible with cameras that measure light through a beam splitter, ensuring accurate focusing and exposure measurements.
Embrace the power of polarization and elevate your photography with our 55mm Slim Mount, Wide Angle Circular Polarizer Filter, designed to deliver stunning, high-contrast images with true-to-life colors.
