Great Polarizer for the Lee system. Excellent quality, doesn't degrade image and does exactly what it should. Only issue and reason for not giving 5 stars is its very expensive and Lee needs to better job of educating customers and people who sell there products. To rare to get good answers on any of their offerings.

The filter works great. This review is all about the outstanding service from Adorama. The original lens I purchased was cracked due to shipping. I immediately emailed Adorama explaining the problem. I received a reply back from Adorama with return instructions and a pre-paid UPS shipping label. Within a week I had a new replacement lens. Thank you Adorama!

Perhaps the single greatest thing about optical filters—those transparent, usually round, usually glass light modifiers that screw onto your lens—is that they allow you to add creative effects easily at the moment of exposure.




A quintessential tool for professional and enthusiast photographers alike, the SW150 150x150mm Circular Polarizer Filter by Lee Filters stands out for its durable construction and high-quality optical performance. This effective polarizer filter is designed to selectively control light waves, allowing photographers to eliminate unwanted reflections from non-metallic surfaces such as water or glass, thereby enhancing the clarity and color saturation of their images.
Crafted with versatility in mind, the SW150 Circular Polarizer Filter is compatible with a broad array of cameras and lenses, making it a reliable choice for those looking to improve their photography without the need for multiple filters. Its circular polarizing effect is particularly ideal for use with autofocus SLR cameras, ensuring that the auto-focusing mechanism functions without any hindrance.
The filter's robust design allows for easy insertion into a compatible filter holder. Once in place, the holder can be effortlessly rotated to achieve the precise polarizing effect desired. For photographers who wish to combine the polarizer with a graduated filter, the SW150 system accommodates this by allowing the grad filter to be positioned first. Although rotation is not possible without also turning the grad filter, users can still select from two axes of polarization by simply rotating the circular polarizer filter 90 degrees within the holder.
In summary, the SW150 150x150mm Circular Polarizer Filter is a testament to Lee Filters' commitment to quality and functionality. It is an indispensable accessory for capturing vivid landscapes, dramatic skies, and crystal-clear photographs free from the distractions of glare and reflections.
