Tiffen 52mm Sr Linear Polarizer Filter

Professional Light Control and Reflection Management

The Tiffen 52mm Linear Polarizer Filter is an essential tool for photographers looking to master light. By filtering out light that has become polarized through reflection off non-metallic surfaces, this filter effectively eliminates unwanted glare from water, glass, and other polished surfaces. This allows you to capture what lies beneath a surface or behind a window with stunning clarity.

Enhanced Color Saturation and Clarity

Beyond reflection control, this filter significantly improves image quality by reducing atmospheric haze. By organizing directionally polarized light perpendicularly to reflected light, it increases the saturation of skies and foliage. Expect deeper blues in the sky and richer greens in your landscapes, providing a natural pop to your outdoor photography without the need for heavy post-processing.

Tiffen ColorCore Technology

Each filter is manufactured using Tiffen's proprietary ColorCore technology. This specialized process involves laminating the filter substrate between two pieces of optical glass and grinding the assembly flat to a precise tolerance of 1/10,000th of an inch. The result is exceptional optical consistency and durability, housed within a precision-machined metal ring.

Usage and Compatibility

Please note that this is a linear polarizer. Unlike circular polarizers, it does not include a quarter-wave plane. It is specifically designed for use with manual cameras, such as view cameras, that do not rely on internal beam-splitting mechanisms for autofocus or light metering. Using this filter on modern DSLR or mirrorless cameras may affect the accuracy of automated focus and exposure systems.
