Hama polarisatiefilter circulair, 77,0 mm, gecoat, zwart 77 mm

The Hama Circular Polarising Filter 77 mm Coated Black is an accessory for photographers that increases colour saturation and reduces non-metallic reflections from surfaces such as water, glass and plastic. It uses a circular polariser to deepen blue skies, make clouds appear whiter and clarify colours while providing a UV filtering effect and a protective coated glass surface (ProClass*****). The filter has a normal single-layer coating on each side and a black metal frame compatible with 77 mm lenses.

Advantages

This circular polarising filter enhances contrast and colour depth, removes unwanted reflections from non-metallic surfaces depending on filter orientation, and delivers improved sky rendering and clearer colours. The coated ProClass***** glass minimises flare and ghosting, and the integrated UV filter offers additional protection for the lens. The single-layer coating on each side provides reliable optical performance in a compact, durable design.

Suitable for

• Landscape photography
• Outdoor and travel photography
• Shooting scenes with water, glass or other reflective surfaces
• Portraits or scenes where improved colour saturation is desired

Key specifications

• Mount size: 77 mm
• Type: Circular polarising filter (CPL)
• Glass quality: ProClass*****
• Coating: Normal (one layer each side)
• Colour/frame: Coated black
• Additional feature: UV filtering effect

How to use

Screw the filter onto the front of a 77 mm lens and rotate the outer ring while looking through the viewfinder or live view to adjust polarisation. The strongest polarising effect is typically achieved when the camera is positioned at an angle of about 30–40° to the reflective surface. Adjust rotation until unwanted reflections are reduced and the desired colour saturation and contrast are obtained.

Recommendations

For best results use with landscape scenes and reflective surfaces; avoid relying on the CPL in low-light situations as it reduces light transmission. Store the filter in a protective case when not in use and clean the coated glass with appropriate lens-cleaning materials to preserve the coating and optical quality.
