Questions & Answers

FAQ

Can the CPL3L 52mm Drop-In Circular Polarizer Filter be used with other lenses besides the Nikon 200mm f/2G AF-S VR Telephoto Lens?

This filter is specifically designed for compatibility with the AF-S NIKKOR 200mm f/2G ED VR II #2188 and the AF-S VR NIKKOR 200mm f/2G IF-ED #2150 lenses. Its performance with other lenses is not guaranteed.

How does the CPL3L 52mm Drop-In Circular Polarizer Filter improve image quality?

The filter works by reducing reflections and glare from water and glass surfaces, and by rendering blue skies darker. This enhances contrast and depth in your photographs, resulting in more vivid and accurate colors.

Is the CPL3L 52mm Drop-In Circular Polarizer Filter easy to install?

Yes, the filter features an easy-to-use drop-in design that allows for quick installation and removal. This design enables photographers to adapt swiftly to changing lighting conditions.

Is the CPL3L 52mm Drop-In Circular Polarizer Filter durable?

Yes, this Nikon accessory is built to last. It's designed to withstand the rigors of outdoor photography, making it a reliable addition to your photography gear.

Can the CPL3L 52mm Drop-In Circular Polarizer Filter be used for indoor photography?

While the filter is particularly effective for outdoor photography where it can reduce glare and enhance contrast, it can be used indoors as well. However, its effects may be less noticeable in indoor settings without natural light.

Terry C : Will this work with the Nikon 400MM AF-I f/2.8D lens?ERIC K : I am sorry I do not know. I own the 200 mm f2 vr1. Try the DP review or Fred Miranda forums.KARL K : I don't have a 400mm lens, just the 200mm. But the CPL3L filter is meant for the 200mm ONLY; the CPL1L filter (also 52mm drop-in) is designed for most of the rest of Nikon's exotics.DAVID L. T : Terry I do not have an answer for your question, but, I can tell you the the dro-in polarizer I use for my 200mmf/2 VR will not fit my Nikkor ED 400mm f/2.8 IF (my 400 is not an AF-I lens). I suggest you contact Nikon support. Dave T.Terry C : It takes the Nikon CPL2L 52mm Drop-in Circular Polarizer Filter, Not the CPL3L !Terry C : Nikon CPL3L 52mm Drop-in Circular Polarizer Filter
Shopper : Why Did You Choose This?DAN K : needed a replacement

Great Service And Product

After a few glitches on my order. Adorama was quick to resolve the issue and get me the right circular polarizer for my lens. Nikon makes some amazing products. I would rather pay the extra to get a Nikon product than to settle for anything 3rd party.

THE NIKON CPL3L 52mm Drop-In Polarizer

This filter is used with my Nikon 200mm f2 VR lens. The filter as is the lens are very well built and tops in quality. Honestly, they are both awesome! That said, why the 4 Star? The cost for the filter is extreme and if you do not use it daily (I don't) makes it almost worth not having but when on the water shooting surfers, water sports & boat races or shooting buildings with lots of reflective glass, it is needed, so I sprang for it. The cost is the only downer but Adorama had the best price brake and that is why I purchase from them, they are a 5 Star Photog Company...
