Hoya 67mm PRO-1D PL-CIR DMC

Color and contrast enhancement
Light rays which are reflected by any surface can become polarised so polarising filters are used to select which light rays enter your camera lens. CIRCULAR PL filters allow you to remove unwanted reflections from non-metallic surfaces such as water, glass etc. They also enable colors to become more saturated and appear clearer with better contrast. This effect is often used to increase the contrast and saturation in blue skies and white clouds. HOYA's polarising filters do not affect the overall color balance of a shot.

Reduce Glare and Reflections with the CIRCULAR PL
Using the CIRCULAR PL filter, reflections and glare can be reduced significantly from non-metallic surfaces. A camera angle of 30 degrees from the reflecting surface (glass, water, etc.) is ideal for maximum effect.

Key Features

Digital Multi-Coated: Digital multi-coated filters greatly reduce the appearance of lens flare and ghosting caused by reflections.
Black Almite Frame Filters feature a black matte aluminum satin finish almite frame which reduces reflections.
Black Rimmed Glass: These filters are equipped with black rimmed glass to reduce the chance of light reflecting off the edge.
Low Profile Frame: Ultra thin filter frames to help avoid vignetting on super wide angle lenses are also designed to hold a lens cap.
Knurling Edge Frame: These filters are equipped with a straight knurling edge for non-slip, easy attachment and removal.
UV Protected Case: Filter cases are UV protected to further lengthen the life of filters.

Do I need a filter for a digital SLR camera?

The simple answer to this is yes! Although your images can be edited using imaging programs such as Photoshop, there are some filters that you just can not mimic its results in imaging programs. An essential type of filter is UV or Ultra-Violet. While ultraviolet light is invisible to the human eye, it can nevertheless show up on a film or digital image as an undesirable blueish cast; it can even result in a blurring effect. Often used as a means of protection for the lens, these filters can be left on at all times as it is completely clear and will not change the colour or density of light. Ideal for photography of expansive spaces like mountains and sweeping landscapes.

The second helpful type is a polarizing filter. Reflections of water and other reflective surfaces, like glass, can cause major problems for your images. Polarizing or polarizer filters can fix them because they remove glare from non-metallic surfaces, ensuring a crisp, clear, more colour saturated image. Reflected light can also wash out an image, but polarizing filters combat this nicely by producing deeper colour saturation. Ideal for outdoor photography, a polarizing filter can be rotated for desired effects and the results will produce dramatic blue skies and better contrast and colour.
