A must for architectural shoots and the price is right.

This circular polarizer filter is a must in my kit back - essential for reducing bright reflections and glare, it ups the quality of my images & highlights architectural details. A must for architectural shoots, and the price is right.

Good Quality, Good Value

I purchased this polarizer to use on pro glass. This is a great filter. Good workmanship and materials. Fit and finish are excellent and the low-profile threads offer smooth mounting. The Tiffen filters that I have purchased over the years have been of consistently high quality in all sizes, and are always a great value.

Excellent CP filter for cutting down glare

The Tiffen CP lens filter is a great, high quality filter. I used it on my Canon EOS 80D to shoot video footage at a car show. In years past I would shoot video without a CP filter and always got glare on the car windows that prevented proper viewing of the interiors of these cars. With the Tiffen I was able to get excellent footage and cut down on a lot of the window glare reflections. I am very happy with this lens filter and wish I had bought one earlier!

Good quality but the least used item in my camera bag.

Unless you have a specific need for eliminating the glare and not being able to compose around the glare or plan the time of day to avoid it, I wouldn't bother with a circular Polarizer filter. It can make the sky look evil and strange, so the benefits are often a trade-off with the down sides. The product is good quality but I find that this filter is the least used item in my camera bag.

Filter done right.

A very well functioning polarizing filter. The machining of the threads is excellent and therefore mounting is very smooth. Turning the variable filter is likewise very easy.

Tiffen Polarizer Filter

The only problem I had with the filter is that there was only 1 screw thread. It was difficult to get it to stay on the lens and when I did get it to stay, I didn?t trust it to stay. Everything else about the filter was excellent. Because I believe this was a one-off issue that happened to sneak past Tiffen QC, I would still recommend the filter.

Circular Polarizer

I bought it for a smallish Sony mirrorless. Fits perfectly. For me, it gives just the right range of polarization.

Tiffen filters never fail to deliver.

Tiffin filters are the industry standard for a reason, they are consistent and reliable, their polarizer is no exception.

In Love with 52mm Circular Polarizer

By Gaurav A.

Polarizer filters give you several key creative features. They evenly increase color saturation of all colors (except black and white), creating deep, rich scenics. They add contrast for dramatic skies and ariel shots. They eliminate the whitish glare from highly reflected surfaces like glass and water. Polarizers are two part lenses that rotate, allowing you to select the degree of additional saturation, contrast and glare reduction desired. My Polarize types: Circular -- for all types of c...

With sun and snow, this will great.

By Carole

Will use it all the time.

Take your photography to the next level with the 49mm Circular Polarizer Glass Filter, a must-have tool for both amateur and professional photographers. This high-quality filter is designed to enhance color and contrast in your images, making them more vibrant and visually appealing.

The 49mm Circular Polarizer Glass Filter works by reducing the whitish glare often caused by reflected light, which can wash out color in your photos. By correcting this issue, the filter allows for the production of deep, dramatically blue skies, adding depth and intensity to your outdoor shots.

In addition, this circular polarizer filter is effective in eliminating glare from non-metallic surfaces such as windows and water, making it an ideal accessory for landscape and architectural photography. It significantly improves color saturation, especially in outdoor settings, resulting in richer, more detailed images.

The 49mm Circular Polarizer Glass Filter is not just a color filter for general outdoor use, but also a versatile tool that can be combined with a Red 25 filter (sold separately) to create incredibly dramatic black and white landscapes. The filter can be rotated to achieve the desired effect, offering you greater control over your image results.

For more dramatic effects, use the 49mm Circular Polarizer Glass Filter with an enhancing filter. This filter is also available for wide-angle lenses, making it a versatile addition to your photography kit.

Designed for use with cameras equipped with beam-splitting metering systems commonly found on auto-focus SLRs, the 49mm Circular Polarizer Glass Filter functions similarly to a regular polarizer. For optimal results with most 35mm auto-focus cameras, refer to your camera manual.

To identify the area of sky most effectively polarized with a Circular Polarizer, simply point your index finger at the sun, extend your thumb at a right angle, and rotate it around the axis of the index finger. This will indicate the band of deepest blue from horizon to horizon.

In summary, the 49mm Circular Polarizer Glass Filter is a powerful tool that can significantly enhance the quality of your photos, making it an essential addition to any photographer's gear.
