Tiffen 4x5" Linear Polarizer Filter

An essential tool for photographers, the 4x5" Linear Polarizer Filter offers a multitude of creative possibilities. This filter enhances color saturation across the spectrum, except for black and white, resulting in deep, vibrant landscapes. It also boosts contrast, making it ideal for capturing dramatic skies and aerial photography.

One of the key features of this polarizer filter is its ability to eliminate the harsh glare from highly reflective surfaces such as glass and water. This is achieved through its unique two-part lens design that rotates, allowing you to adjust the level of saturation, contrast, and glare reduction to your preference.

The Tiffen brand of polarizers, renowned for their quality, are available in both standard and warm versions. The warm polarizers incorporate Tiffen's exclusive 812 warming filter, which imparts a warm, muted feel to portraits and landscapes while preserving rich coloration.

Polarizer filters are available in two types: Circular and Linear. Circular polarizers are suitable for all types of cameras and are required for beam-splitting metering systems commonly found in auto-focus SLR's and most current TTL SLR's. Linear polarizers, like this 4x5" Linear Polarizer Filter, are designed for older metering systems.

Tiffen polarizers come in several variations: Standard Linear, Standard Circular, Warm Circular (which includes the 812 warming filter), and Wide Angle Circular. The latter is a thin filter designed to prevent vignetting at the edges when used with larger wide-angle lenses.

In summary, the 4x5" Linear Polarizer Filter is a versatile tool that can significantly enhance your photography by increasing color saturation, adding contrast, and reducing glare.
