Marumi DHG Circular PL Filter 46mm

The Marumi DHG Circular Polarizer is especially well-suited to whom a superb color balance and affordability have taken precedence in the first place in polarizing.

• Both hue reproducibility and high saturation color reproducibility are achievable simultaneously.
• While color neutrality is given priority, the transmittance rate remains approx 33%. (400-700nm average)
• Embedded eight layers of Anti-reflection coating in total sustains a low reflection with high scratch resistance performance
• Realized a thin aluminum rotating structure to avoid vignetting.
• Knurling embedded on the lightweight and thin aluminum frame enables easy and smooth handling
• Made in Japan, indurated lamination technology by decades of technical succession.

A polarizing filter allows you to;
– control reflections from non-metallic objects; the surface of water, window, or glossy coating/painting.
– prevent and reduce glare, still however, allow plenty of light through. It also makes subjects underwater transparent.
– Enhance color saturation and contrast, especially under a scene of deep blue sky, vivid white clouds, spring greenery, or autumn color of leaves.

Have you ever experienced, when taking landscape photography, ending up with a little different color from the actual landscape you have seen? The sky must have been more vivid and bluish in your eyes.
A polarizing filter can properly contrast the crystal blue sky and the white clouds.
Many photographers predominantly carry a polarizing filter, particularly for landscape photography next step after Lens Protector/UV filter in terms of protection, for some reason.
The effects of polarizers cannot be easily mimicked with digital editing. Carrying a polarizer makes your image more vivid and clear, turning the actual landscape you’ve seen into your picture.
The two images below obviously show the difference of impact with/without polarizing effect in contrast.
