This filter enhances your photography by reducing glare and reflections, improving contrast and color saturation, and maintaining the true colors in your images.
This filter is designed to be used with cameras that have a 72mm lens thread. It's particularly effective with wide-angle lenses.
The filter absorbs reflected light and reduces atmospheric haze, allowing the true colors of your subject to reach the film. It's constructed with a neutral color foil cemented between two plane parallel glass discs, allowing light rays to pass in only one plane.
The 1/4 wave plate sets the polarized light in rotation, allowing it to pass without interruption through the measuring system for accurate measurements. This makes the filter particularly effective with camera systems that use light passed through the mirror via a beam splitter, as well as autofocus lenses in video cameras.
If no effect is visible, the available light conditions may not be polarizable. In such cases, the use of this filter is not advisable.

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.

When it comes to capturing stunning, high-quality images, the 72mm Slim Mount, Wide Angle Circular Polarizer Filter, SH-PMC 16 Layer Super Hard Multi-Coated is an essential tool for both professional and amateur photographers. This innovative filter is designed to enhance your photography experience, offering a versatile solution for improving image quality in both color and black and white photography.
Unlike colored filters, this circular polarizer filter maintains the true colors of your photographs while increasing contrast and color saturation. This is achieved by reducing the blush gray haze that occurs when natural light scatters through the atmosphere, a common issue that can dull the vibrancy of your images.
The filter's effectiveness is further enhanced by its ability to absorb reflected light when it falls at an angle of approximately 35 degrees onto surfaces such as water, glass, or plastic. This feature allows the true colors of your subject to reach the film, making water surfaces appear transparent and clouds more saturated.
Constructed with a neutral color foil cemented between two plane parallel glass discs, this durable filter allows light rays to pass in only one plane. It is mounted in a calibrated rotating ring, enabling you to easily set the desired position and effect. The result can be seen directly through the viewfinder of an SLR camera, or by holding the polarizer in front of the eye with viewfinder type cameras.
This circular polarizer filter is particularly recommended for use with camera systems that use light passed through the mirror via a beam splitter, as well as autofocus lenses in video cameras. It features 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.
Designed to be slim and lightweight, this filter is easy to use with a variety of lenses, making it a valuable addition to any photographer's toolkit. It's suitable for use with cameras that have a 72mm lens thread and is particularly effective with wide-angle lenses.
Please note, if no effect is visible, the available light conditions may not be polarizable, and in such cases, the use of this filter is not advisable. Also, to maintain the longevity and performance of this filter, overheating should be avoided.
In conclusion, the 72mm Slim Mount, Wide Angle Circular Polarizer Filter, SH-PMC 16 Layer Super Hard Multi-Coated is a high-quality, effective, and versatile tool that can significantly enhance your photography experience.
