Quality polarizer

I have used Heliopan filters for years and they have stood the test of time. Yes, they are pricey but you get what you pay for. In this case, a top quality product.

I have used Heliopan filters for years and they have stood the test of time. Yes, they are pricey but you get what you pay for. In this case, a top quality product.

Discover the pinnacle of photographic precision with the 86mm High-Transmission Circular Polarizer SH-PMC Filter, a must-have accessory for both professional and amateur photographers. Engineered with High-Transmission technology, this filter boasts an exceptional 99.8% light transmission rate, ensuring that only a minimal 1-stop of light is lost during the process, preserving the natural luminosity of your scene without any color shift.

Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, the filter features Heliopan's renowned SH-PMC 16-layer multi-coating, with 8 layers applied to each side. This advanced coating technology not only enhances the filter's resilience, providing a robust shield against dust and moisture, but also significantly diminishes lens flare and ghosting, resulting in crisper, clearer images.

The circular polarizer's rounded design is optimized for compatibility with a broad spectrum of lenses, including wide-angle variants, ensuring flawless performance without the risk of vignetting or optical distortion. Its effectiveness peaks when used at a 90-degree angle to the sun, where it can dramatically reduce glare and reflections, amplify color saturation, and boost contrast to unveil the true depth and detail of your subject.

Ideal for use with auto-focus SLR cameras, this filter also operates seamlessly with manual systems, offering the same polarizing effect as traditional filters but with a superior High-Transmission design. With a filter factor of 2.0, it outperforms standard polarizers that typically have a factor of 2.5, losing more light in the process.

Elevate your photography with the 86mm High-Transmission Circular Polarizer SH-PMC Filter, and capture the world in its most vivid and authentic form. Whether you're shooting landscapes, cityscapes, or working with reflective surfaces, this high-quality, durable, and effective filter is an indispensable tool for achieving breathtaking imagery with ease and versatility.
