From enhancing your photography skills to capturing breathtaking images, the 86mm Slim Mount, Wide Angle Circular Polarizer Filter, SH-PMC 16 Layer Super Hard Multi-Coated is an essential tool for every photographer. This high-quality, durable filter is designed to increase your picture-taking possibilities, whether you're using black and white or color film. Unlike colored filters, this innovative polarizer filter maintains the original colors in your photographs while effectively increasing contrast and color saturation. It works by manipulating natural light, which spreads in a wave form in all directions. Sunlight, which is polarized and has high color purity, often scatters when passing through the atmosphere, resulting in a blush gray haze over all colors. This versatile filter reduces or eliminates this effect, enhancing the vibrancy of your images.When light falls at an angle of approximately 35 degrees onto a reflecting surface such as water, glass, or plastic, it becomes reflected and polarized. This filter, when properly oriented, absorbs these reflections, allowing the true colors to reach the film. As a result, water surfaces become transparent, and clouds appear more saturated.The light loss of this polarizer filter varies between 1 and 1.5 F stops, which can be manually or automatically corrected depending on your camera type. The filter consists of a neutral color foil cemented between two plane parallel glass discs, constructed to allow light rays to pass only in one plane. The filter is mounted in a calibrated rotating ring, making it easy to set the desired position and effect. With an SLR, you can see the result in the finder, while with viewfinder type cameras, you can hold the polarizer in front of your eye and turn it to see the desired effect. This circular polarizer filter is also equipped with a second component, a 1/4 wave plate in its construction. This plate sets the polarized light in rotation, allowing it to pass without interruption through the measuring system and give proper measurements. This makes it an excellent choice for camera systems with built-in light measuring systems that use light passed through the mirror via a beam splitter, as well as for auto-focus lenses in video cameras.In summary, the 86mm Slim Mount, Wide Angle Circular Polarizer Filter, SH-PMC 16 Layer Super Hard Multi-Coated is a versatile and effective tool for photographers seeking to improve image quality and capture stunning, true-to-life photographs.

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.

Great 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.

Great filter, but had to send it back.

This is great filter for wide angle lens.  High Quality and the price was unbelievable.

Great Quality!!!

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.
