Tiffen 4x4" Linear Polarizer Filter product description
Professional Glare Control and Color Enhancement
The Tiffen 4x4" Linear Polarizer Filter is an essential tool for cinematographers and photographers looking to manage reflections and enhance image depth. By filtering out light that has become polarized through reflection from non-metallic surfaces, this filter effectively eliminates unwanted glare from water, glass, and foliage.
Superior Image Clarity
Beyond reflection control, this filter significantly reduces atmospheric haze in landscape shots. By organizing directionally polarized light perpendicularly to the reflected source, it allows for the absorption of scattered light, resulting in increased color saturation and deeper blue skies.
Linear vs. Circular Polarization
This linear polarizer is specifically designed for use with manual focus cameras or systems that do not utilize in-camera beam splitters for autofocus or exposure metering. Because it lacks a quarter-wave plane, it provides a direct filtering process that delivers approximately 40% average light transmission.
Tiffen ColorCore Technology
Each filter is manufactured using Tiffen's proprietary ColorCore technology. This process involves laminating the filter substrate between two pieces of high-quality optical glass and grinding them flat to a tolerance of 1/10,000th of an inch, ensuring consistent performance and durability.
