After a unique collaboration between Hoya and renowned wildlife photographer B. Moose Peterson, the 46mm Warm Circular Polarizer Glass Filter emerges as a must-have tool for photography enthusiasts and professionals alike. This innovative filter ingeniously merges the benefits of a circular polarizer with an 81A warming filter, designed to elevate your photographic results to new heights.
Crafted with high-quality materials, this durable filter is adept at removing unwanted reflections from non-metallic surfaces such as water and glass, making it an effective accessory for capturing the true essence of nature. Its ability to darken blue skies enhances contrast, particularly in scenic and landscape photography, ensuring that your images are imbued with a depth and clarity that truly stand out.
The 46mm Warm Circular Polarizer Glass Filter is particularly versatile and easy to use, even with today's sophisticated auto-focus camera bodies that employ split beam metering systems. Unlike traditional linear polarizers that can disrupt exposure readings due to their light absorption properties, this circular polarizer delivers the desired optical effects without causing exposure issues, making it a seamless addition to your photography kit.
A common challenge with both linear and circular polarizers is their tendency to impart a cooler, bluish tone to images. However, the integration of the 81A warming glass in this filter addresses this issue by correcting the color temperature to the standard 5500K for daylight film's color balance. The result is a warm, inviting color balance across your entire scene, which is especially beneficial for capturing the golden hues of sunrises and sunsets with enhanced color contrast and reduced atmospheric haze.
Photographers seeking to add a touch of warmth to their images while maintaining the high-contrast and glare-reduction benefits of a polarizer will find the 46mm Warm Circular Polarizer Glass Filter an exceptional choice. Its reputation is backed by Hoya's commitment to quality and B. Moose Peterson's expertise in wildlife photography, making it a reliable and effective tool for capturing the world in its truest colors.
