Just imagine capturing the perfect shot with the 58mm Warm Circular Polarizer Glass Filter, a unique product born from the exclusive collaboration between Hoya and esteemed wildlife photographer and conservationist B. Moose Peterson of Wildlife Research Photography. This innovative filter combines the functions of a polarizer and an 81A warming filter, offering a versatile solution for both professional and amateur photographers.For decades, polarizers have been the go-to tool for photographers looking to eliminate reflections from non-metallic surfaces like water and glass. They're also favored for their ability to darken blue skies, thereby enhancing contrast in scenic photography. However, traditional linear polarizers can cause exposure errors with today's auto-focus camera bodies, which often use a split-beam metering system. This system employs a polarized half mirror, and the light absorption properties of linear polarizers can interfere with it.Our 58mm Warm Circular Polarizer Glass Filter solves this issue by providing the same optical effect as a linear polarizer, but without causing exposure problems with modern metering systems. One common side effect of both linear and circular polarizers is that they can "cool down" the overall color balance of a scene, often resulting in a slightly bluish tone. This is where the 81A warming filter comes into play. It corrects the color temperature, restoring the scene to the original 5500K color balance ideal for daylight film. This results in a more pleasing, warm color balance across the entire scene. Meanwhile, the circular polarizer works to increase color contrast and reduce the effects of atmospheric haze. Whether you're shooting landscapes, wildlife, or urban scenes, the 58mm Warm Circular Polarizer Glass Filter is an essential tool for enhancing your photography and achieving stunning results.
