The MC-CPL filter from Fotodiox is a double threaded circular polarizer (CPL) filter made of optical glass, features a rotating ring to allow for light ray selection and coated with multiple layers to prevent glare and improve lens performance. Remove unwanted reflections from non-metallic surfaces such as water or glass. CPL Filters are used to select which light rays enter your camera lens. CPL filters can also be used to saturate colors and to provide better contrast. The effect can be seen through the cameras viewfinder and changed by rotating the filter ring. The filter factor varies according to how the filter is rotated and its orientation to the sun or light source (approx. +1.3 stops). Typical applications include darkening skies, water reflection elimination and window/glass/eyeglass reflection elimination. Circular Polarize ring filters (as opposed to the Linear style) are specifically designed for use with auto-focus SLR cameras and will also work on manual systems and video cameras without problems. This filter is Multi-Coated to minimize reflection at the filters surface; therefore, reducing flare and ghosting. Each filter comes with a plastic storage box.
