From the world's largest optical glass and filter manufacturer, HOYA, comes the innovative 58mm HRT Circular Polarizer Glass Filter. This advanced filter employs a newly developed High-Rate Transparency (HRT) film, designed to allow more visible light to pass through while maintaining the same level of polarized light filtration. This unique feature enables the HOYA HRT Circular Polarizer Filter to transmit up to 25% more light, providing photographers with approximately 1/3 stop more light than a standard circular polarizer.
The HRT Circular Polarizer Glass Filter is not just a polarizer; it also boasts UV absorbing properties. This dual functionality makes it a combination UV/circular polarizing filter, offering enhanced protection and image quality.
Primarily used to darken bright blue skies in outdoor photography, this filter also excels in reducing or eliminating reflections from non-metallic surfaces like glass and water. This makes it an invaluable tool for photographers looking to capture clear, reflection-free images of challenging subjects.
The filter's effect can be easily adjusted by rotating the outer ring, allowing photographers to observe changes directly through the filter or the camera's viewfinder when mounted. This feature provides a high level of control and flexibility, ensuring optimal results in various lighting conditions and environments.
Crafted with precision, the 58mm HRT Circular Polarizer Glass Filter is a testament to HOYA's commitment to quality. As the world's largest optical glass manufacturer, HOYA produces glass to spec for nearly every camera and lens manufacturer, ensuring compatibility and performance that meets the highest industry standards.
