B+W 67mm Kaesemann Circular Polarizer XS-PRO MRC Nano Filter

Overview

Another effect of the B+W polarizer is to reduce reflections from non-metallic surfaces such as water, glass, and glossy paint. Objects and people behind surfaces such as shop windows and car windshields become visible again – a fascinating image enhancement without image processing!

B+W polarizing filters are circular polarizers which are compatible with nearly all modern cameras when beam splitters are used in the light path for TTL exposure metering or autofocus. Exposure errors are therefore avoided. The multiplying factor with HTC is 2 to 3, which is equivalent to 1 to 1.5 f-stops. Other polarizers up to approx. 3 stops. Often regarded as the most important filter for photography.

Features

• Reduces reflections from a variety of surfaces
• Increases color saturation and contrast
• Color-neutral to the optimum extent
• Universal polarizing filter with high optical quality
• Reduces reflections from non-metallic surfaces
• Enhances color contrasts
• Designed for all cameras with and without internal measuring system (autofocus and exposure metering)
• Ideal for landscape photography and on vacation

Tip
The maximum polarization effect is achieved in landscape photography when shooting at an angle of 90° to the sun. For an even effect in the picture, and because of uneven skylight polarization, your focal length should not be less than 28 mm in 35 mm format.

Generally speaking, with the help of a properly oriented polarizer, reflections can be completely suppressed in an ideal situation. Here, the ideal situation means that the lighting and shooting angles are almost the same and correspond to the angle of maximum polarization, usually 30° to 40°.
