Hama polarisatiefilter circulair, 55,0 mm, gecoat, zwart 55 mm

The Hama Circular Polarising Filter 55 mm Coated Black enhances color saturation and contrast while reducing reflections and glare. Designed for both amateur and professional users, the filter also acts as a UV filter and features a single coating layer on each side to minimize lens flare and ghosting. The ProClass***** glass ensures image clarity and durability, and the black finish provides protection for the lens.

Advantages

This circular polariser increases color depth and contrast so skies appear bluer, clouds whiter and colours more distinct. By rotating the filter you can reduce or remove non-metallic reflections from surfaces such as water, plastic and glass. The coated glass and ProClass***** quality standard improve image sharpness while the UV-filter effect gives additional protection.

Suitable for

• Landscape photography
• Outdoor scenes with sky and water
• Urban photography to reduce reflections from windows and wet surfaces
• General use to improve colour saturation and contrast

How to use

Attach the filter to the camera lens by screwing the 55 mm thread onto the lens filter thread. While looking through the viewfinder or at the live view screen, rotate the outer ring of the filter to adjust the polarising effect until reflections are reduced and colour saturation is as desired. For best results when removing reflections from a surface, position the camera so the shooting angle to the reflective surface is approximately 30–40°.

Recommendations

Use the filter primarily for landscape and outdoor photography. Avoid stacking multiple filters to prevent vignetting. Store the filter in a protective case when not in use and clean the coated surfaces with a soft microfiber cloth to preserve the coating and optical quality.
