Tiffen 49mm Sr Linear Polarizer Filter

Professional Reflection Control and Color Enhancement

The Tiffen 49mm Linear Polarizer Filter is an essential tool for photographers looking to manage light and reflections in-camera. By filtering out light that has become polarized through reflection from non-metallic surfaces, this filter effectively eliminates unwanted glare from water, glass, and polished surfaces. The result is a clearer image with improved contrast and detail.

Vibrant Landscapes and Skies

Beyond reflection control, this filter significantly enhances color saturation. It reduces atmospheric haze caused by light scattering in the air, leading to deeper blue skies and richer greens in foliage. This makes it a staple for landscape photography where natural color pop is desired without heavy post-processing.

Advanced ColorCore Construction

Tiffen filters are manufactured using their proprietary ColorCore technology. This specialized process involves laminating the filter material between two pieces of high-quality optical glass. Each filter is ground flat to a tolerance of 1/10,000th of an inch before being secured in a precision-machined metal ring, ensuring long-term durability and optical performance.

Compatibility Considerations

This is a linear polarizer, which differs from circular polarizers by omitting a quarter wave plane. It is specifically designed for use with manual cameras, such as view cameras or older SLRs, that do not rely on internal beam-splitting mechanisms for autofocus or light metering.
