A must for outdoor photo and video

This is a high quality circular polarizing filter that is a must for any sort of outdoor photography or video at an excellent price point. It warms the image nicely and is perfect for warmer / tropical / oceanic climates. Definitely recommend.

The Right Tool Makes a Difference

I can confidently rate my circular polarizing warming filter from Moose via Andorrans 5 stars because it does exactly what it is supposed to do. At the right angles, it cuts glare and haze, and really makes clouds more dramatic. The warming effect is slight, but noticeable, a welcome feature for reducing the bluish tone in so many situations. The monthly assignment of my photography club was “Colors.” I drove to a local veterans cemetery, thinking a shot of colorful flowers beside a grave might be interesting. Then I spotted a tall hillside across from the chapel, which was flanked by the “colors” of the American flag, with rows of headstones forming leading lines pointing to the flag. The 5 o’clock sun was still a bit harsh and hazy. Adding my new filter was sheer genius! It produced in-camera the image I had in my mind, a subtle but dramatic difference, for the win - the right tool for that situation!

Nice filter

The day we received it we were headed to Arizona. I was looking forward to experimenting with the polarized filter. I sell sunglasses for a living and almost always recommend polarized lenses. It was great seeing how this works a I’m very pleased with the results.

Moose 58mm filter

I bought this to use with my Canon DSLR. I haven't gotten outside to use it yet. (TOO cold and dreary here). Judging from playing with it inside the warming filter may be too dark and can be best used on a bright sunny day. I wonder if the warming filter is necessary for a digital camera as the computer in the camera will try to compensate and nullify any effect this filter makes in the final picture. I think the warming effect filter is a throwback to using real film. Otherwise the general quality of the filter is good and solid. Even though I used it inside, it did remove reflections from shiny surfaces like its supposed to. I can't wait to use it outside and see what it really can do.

Adds warmth to your photos

The moose PL filter adds just a touch of warmth to any outdoor photo you are taking. Helps to eliminate the excess blue you get when using most PL filers. Works well on landscapes and cityscapes.

I like the results they provide!

I only shoot JPEGs and Moose's filter does wonders! It can give me polarizing and warming at the same time or I can tune polarizing out and add just a little bit of warmth. An extra bonus is having up to two stops of warm neutral density from the polarizer! The quality of this filter is excellent! I liked Moose's warming polarizers so much that I bought one in every filter size from 52mm to 77mm! I like the results they provide!

Vignetting

It causes vignetting on the Nikon 10mm lens when used at 10mm.

Poor Design - glues itself to UV filter

On the first use, the filter secured itself firmly to the B+W UV filter and couldn't be separated. I'm a strong person, and I could get the two filters to budge from each other.

Hoya Moose 67mm Warm Polar Filter

The Hoya Moose 67mm Warm Circular Polarizer Glass Filter is effectively two filters in one piece of glass. The Warming effect is the same as an 81A filter. A Polarizing filter may produce an image that is a little cooler than desired. This filter attempts to create a more natural image. The results are usually very pleasing.

Great 2 for 1 filter.

I shoot film sometimes, and there's no white balance adjustment like digital. Stacking both a polarizer and warm filters produced vignetting with my Pentax 645 45mm wide angle lens. Now I can put this filter on and get the effects of both a polarizer and warming. It's not as warm as an 81c or Tiffen 812, but there's a noticeable difference. It's not multicoated, but I don't spend the extra $$$ for MC filters anyway. Image quality has been great for me so far with this filter. I also use this on my smaller lenses with a step up ring adapter. I always use generic 67mm screw in lens hoods with it. When the hood is mounted to the front of the filter, it's so easy to rotate the polarizer. Just grab the hood and turn. But it's best to turn it clockwise to eliminate the chance of unscrewing the hood or filter.

Decent piece of glass

I bought this circular polarizer for my Zeiss 21mm f2.8 for Canon. I had owned CP but not in the same price range. For a really good piece of optic, you need a good quality filter to not degrade the picture quality--supposedly. I am not sure my 30 dollar filters on other lenses have led to worse quality, but I am satisfied with this circular polarizer for landscape photos as it warms up the image and provides what CP is intended for.

Had reflections.

This worked pretty well for th3 first use. It has good construction and works as advertized. How ever shotting at Mesa Arch last week I had reflection and stay light on some of my photos. efectively runing some of my best photos. I will have to play around with this some more as I was shotting almost directly at the sun rise that morning. But so far I'm satified with it. A reagular polerizer would have been better but New Toy got to try it out.

Get the blues out

Helps to get rid of the glare and extreme blue cast we can experience in Wyoming with snow on the gound at altitude.

Balancing economy and performance

I've always had a linear polarizer on my Olympus OM-1 lenses for outdoor work, and was pleased to find this for my new Nikon 18-105. Although the effect is not as pronounced, circular polarizers will make clouds pop against the sky, and this one maintains a better color balance for the foliage and red rocks common in the West.

Great innovative design

This filter combines the advantage of using an 1A skylight filter for warming effect, coupled with the advantage of a polarizing filter. Needless to say, using both filters at the same time reduced the necessity of constantly adding or subtracting the polarizer during changing lighting conditions. An excellent idea.

After a unique collaboration between Hoya and renowned wildlife photographer B. Moose Peterson, the 46mm Warm Circular Polarizer Glass Filter emerges as a must-have tool for photography enthusiasts and professionals alike. This innovative filter ingeniously merges the benefits of a circular polarizer with an 81A warming filter, designed to elevate your photographic results to new heights.

Crafted with high-quality materials, this durable filter is adept at removing unwanted reflections from non-metallic surfaces such as water and glass, making it an effective accessory for capturing the true essence of nature. Its ability to darken blue skies enhances contrast, particularly in scenic and landscape photography, ensuring that your images are imbued with a depth and clarity that truly stand out.

The 46mm Warm Circular Polarizer Glass Filter is particularly versatile and easy to use, even with today's sophisticated auto-focus camera bodies that employ split beam metering systems. Unlike traditional linear polarizers that can disrupt exposure readings due to their light absorption properties, this circular polarizer delivers the desired optical effects without causing exposure issues, making it a seamless addition to your photography kit.

A common challenge with both linear and circular polarizers is their tendency to impart a cooler, bluish tone to images. However, the integration of the 81A warming glass in this filter addresses this issue by correcting the color temperature to the standard 5500K for daylight film's color balance. The result is a warm, inviting color balance across your entire scene, which is especially beneficial for capturing the golden hues of sunrises and sunsets with enhanced color contrast and reduced atmospheric haze.

Photographers seeking to add a touch of warmth to their images while maintaining the high-contrast and glare-reduction benefits of a polarizer will find the 46mm Warm Circular Polarizer Glass Filter an exceptional choice. Its reputation is backed by Hoya's commitment to quality and B. Moose Peterson's expertise in wildlife photography, making it a reliable and effective tool for capturing the world in its truest colors.
