Questions & Answers

DEAN F : Does this CPL vignette on the Z 14-30 f/4?ROBERT W : It shouldn't, but you must be careful. At the 14mm to 20mm you can get darker and lighter zones due to the wide apeture. The thin filters are designed for use on the ultra wide lenses.
RENATO A : CAN I USE THE CIRCULAR POLARIZING FILTER TO TAKE NGOURP PICTURE OR PORTRAIT?Alice M : If you are having unwanted reflections and glare, it will help, especially if you are using natural lighting.INGE J : Yes, you take whatever images you want. A polarizer removes unwanted reflections so I am not sure it is of any benefit for portrait photography.

Polarizer

I have only used it once so far, but it took the glare off the lake while taking pictures of an opposite bank of fall tree colors.

Most useful accessory

Polarizers are very useful for controlling non-specular reflections outdoors. This one is thin so that vignetting is not a problem with most lenses-even with a lens hood. It fits precisely and rotates easily for the effect you want.

Excellent Circular Polarizer

I already had one of these filters, but I lost it on my last photography expedition. Not happy about that, so I needed to get another one. This filter is great! Experienced photographers know it can enhance colors, reduce glare on foliage on rainy days, and even allow you to see through the surface of water along shorelines on in rivers. It's Nikon which has always had superior optics! I put this on over one of my Nikon lenses when I need it, and I'm all set! Highly recommend this filter!

Easy to attach and adjust even with a lens hood on, colors are so much more rich and reflections dramatically reduced. Expensive but worth it.

Excellent Circle Polarizer

I have been very satisfied with the performance of the Nikon filter. This is my first Nikon filter after using other high end filters before. I love the low profile that limits vignetting as well as the amount of pollarding affect if applies without creating an unrealistic image.

Still Vignetting on the Sony 18-135mm E-mount lens

A huge difference between this Thin CPL and a standard on however there is still Vignetting on the Sony 18-135mm E-mount lens. The Vignetting only shows up at the wide end especially at 18mm and only on my raw files. The jpg's I shoot at the same time do not show it. The flaring I had with my previous CPL was really in your face, this filter I still see a little bit, but it is very subtle unless you are pointing directly into the sun.

Worth the Extra Expense

Nikon isn't noted for lens filters but should be. Nikon CPL is absolute top of the line. Superb glass, low filter factor, UV blocking, and no color shift. Polarizing effect tends to be stronger than B+W or Hoya, thin to reduce vignetting, and a knurled ring so you can actually get them off. CPL's have moving mechanical parts and was the main reason for switching to Nikon. After living with the gritty mechanicals of the supposed top CPL, the butter smooth mechanicals of the Nikon meant no going back. You don't buy these every day, particularly if you use a single larger size with step-up rings, so spend the little extra. Highly recommended.

Product received exactly as expected. I have been using these polarizing filters for years and have been greatly satisfied with the results. They also act to protect the lens. I only use the thin ring polarizers to avoid vignetting.

Great product - superior glass. I have used other CP filters that were less expensive and they did not produce the results of this filter. I used it yesterday when it was cloudy. i was really surprised by how great the sky looked in my photos.

Saves Time & Gets True, Rich Color

By Anthony T.

I had read up on why these polarizers are so good, but having it 1st hand has made it worth it. It's amazing how much post-processing this saves me, as well as getting shots you couldn't get before. Why would you need this? 1) Cuts down reflected sunlight reflected off metal and water, BUT you can use it indoors as well to cut out flash reflections off of wet or oily skin and surfaces. 2) Reduces the reflect light in the sky off water droplets, and makes the sky a rich blue, as well as acc...

Lucy in the skies in diamond

By Pathfinder

Got this CPL-3 II 67mm lens here in Germany for only 69 Euros. ($87.00) US Dollars. Excellent color results. Thanks nikon. I use this on my canon 500D. It was priced at 159 Euros ($201.00) US dollars.

From capturing breathtaking landscapes to detailed architectural shots, the 82mm Circular Polarizer II Thin Ring Multi-Coated Glass Filter is an essential tool for every photographer. This high-quality filter is specifically designed to reduce or eliminate unwanted reflections from water, glass, or other shiny surfaces, thereby enhancing image definition and clarity.

Built with advanced multi-coated technology, this durable filter effectively minimizes glare, lens flare, and reflections, resulting in improved image quality and contrast. This makes it an ideal choice for shooting in low-contrast situations, where it can significantly boost the overall contrast of your subjects.

The 82mm Circular Polarizer II Thin Ring Multi-Coated Glass Filter also excels in enhancing the vibrancy of your outdoor photography. Typically, light from the sky is polarized due to reflections and dispersions in the air. This versatile filter cuts through these reflections, intensifying colors and making the sky appear bluer.

Featuring a thin ring design, this filter is perfect for wide-angle lenses. It effectively reduces vignetting and ensures an even distribution of light across the image, resulting in a more natural and balanced output. Its rounded design also allows for more light to pass through, making it a reliable companion in low-light situations.

Easy to use and compatible with Nikon cameras, this filter has a standard mount for convenience. Whether you're a professional photographer or a hobbyist, the 82mm Circular Polarizer II Thin Ring Multi-Coated Glass Filter is a valuable addition to your photography gear, promising enhanced image quality and color saturation in every shot.

Nikon Circular Polarizer II Features

  • Much thinner and lighter than conventional models to cut vignetting on Wide Angle lenses
  • Multi Layer coatings on both sides to reduce ghost images and flare
  • 82mm filter thread on front of filter for attaching Lens caps and hood
