Tiffen 77mm Circular Polarizer Filters - Light rays which are reflected become polarized. Polarizing filters are used to select which light rays enter your camera lens. They can remove unwanted reflections from non-metallic surfaces such as water or glass and also saturate colors providing better contrast. The effect can be seen through the viewfinder and changed by rotating the filter. The filter factor varies according to how the filter is rotated and its orientation to the sun.

If you're out walking on a lovely day - in the mountains or at the beach - and you want to get a fabulous shot of a cloud-filled sky or make the water seem more saturated, then a polarizer is the way to go. This filter is the best way to make the clouds stand out, increase or decrease the saturation of the ocean or increase or decrease the reflection off the water. You can also use this filter when shooting into glass or windows since it will, again, either increase or decrease reflections.

If you're shooting black and white and want to simulate a threatening storm, try throwing on a #25 Red filter. The vista will take on the appearance of an imminent, ominous storm.

Along with a UV or Skylight Filter, a polarizing filter should be a part of everyone's gear bag. It can turn a run-of-the-mill image into a stunning, creative photo by increasing color saturation.

This filter uses a Wide Angle (Low Profile) mount. In order to help eliminate vignetting (darkening of the corners), it does not have a front thread.

Wide Angle (Low Profile Design)    Makes a Blue Sky Bluer    Enhances Clouds    Eliminates Reflections    High Quality ColorCore Glass    Black Aluminum Filter Ring    Made in the USA    10-Year Warranty

This filter eliminates ultraviolet rays from outdoor shots as well as polarizing the light to remove reflections, and increase color saturation, without affecting the overall color balance

Can dramatically enhance a blue sky and make the clouds more prominent

Used best at right angle to the sun

Effective with cameras that use beam splitters in the path of the TTL light meter and with AF cameras

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. If I stack this CPL on top of a fixed ND filter (see link), will they thread together ? And should I put the CPL on the outside, on top of the ND? https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/163449-REG/Tiffen_67WIDCP_67mm_Circular_Polarizing_Wide.html/qa

A: The filter that is already on the lens would need to have front threads in order to stack another filter.

Q: 2. does this work with sony FE 20 f1.8?

A: Yes, the lens has a 67mm filter thread to match the filter your questioning.

Q: 3. Will this 77mm filter fit onto the Canon RF 70-200mm f2.8 lens with the supplied Canon lens hood attached?

A: Yes, the Tiffen 77mm Low-Profile Design Circular Polarizer will fit without obstruction from the RF 70-200mm f/2.8 lens hood. The lens hood has a filter window that you may open to spin the circular polarizer.

Q: 4. will this work with a canon 18-135mm lens?

A: It is the right size for your lens but if you use it at the widest angle you'll get some vignetting where the edge of the filter will appear as a dark shadow in the outer corners of the image. It won't be a problem at longer focal lengths. This is tolerable if you can crop these corners in post production. This filter will really raise the quality of light and colour in your landscapes.

Q: 5. Will this work with the sony 10-18mm lens?

A: The totally correct answer is I don't really know. On the other hand I see no reason why it should not work. I bought this filter in the 67mm size for my Canon EF-s 10-18mm lens for a camera with an APC size sensor. The Canon lens is equivalent to a16-28.8mm full frame lens while your Sony lens works out like a 15-27mm equivalent. I bought the low profile filter when I realized that my regular polarizer vignetted at 10mm. The new filter solved this problem. Even though your lens is a scant millimeter (equivalent) wider and the size is 5mm smaller I still believe that the filter will work for you without vignetting, which I assume is your concern. Looking at the geometry of the two lenses I think you will be safe.

Q: 6. what wider focal length The Tiffen Digital HT CP is compatible?. It seems TIFFEN have a CP Wide angle but with inferior quality (no coating) than the HT CP. so is the HT CP compatible with 17-28mm focal length?

A: Yes this filter would be suitable for a 17-28mm focal length.

Q: 7. Can you mount a filter or screw in hood to the front of this filter?

A: No; this filter uses a Wide Angle (Low Profile) mount. In order to help eliminate vignetting (darkening of the corners), it does not have a front thread. As the Tiffen 58mm Circular Polarizing Wide Angle (Low Profile Design) Filter does not have front filter threads, you would not be able to connect a screw-in filter or a screw-in lens hood onto the front of the filter.

Q: 8. Is this filter fine or coarse thread?

A: The B+W 86mm MRC Basic Circular Polarizing Filter has a coarse thread.

Q: 9. Does it include a front cap?

A: No. The following unit does not come with a cap. We suggest the following item Sensei 77mm Filter Stack Caps BH #SESC77 • MFR #SC-77 https://bhpho.to/3s3LACT

Q: 10. How does this compare to the Tiffen Digital HT CPL that is about $40 more? Which one is higher quality for videography/filmmaking?

A: While both the Tiffen Digital HT (High Transmission) Circular Polarizing Multi-Coated Filter and the Tiffen Circular Polarizing Wide Angle (Low Profile Design) Filter are polarizing filters and would have similar usage, the Tiffen Digital HT (High Transmission) Circular Polarizing Multi-Coated Filter has a titanium anti-reflective transmission coating that makes the filter extra hard and durable, making it easier to clean, and offers better light transmission with less reflections on the coatings they use. The Digital HT filter would be the better quality option between the two filters, but both may be used to polarize light and reduce reflections on non-metallic items while assisting in increasing contrast/saturation and deepening the blue color in the sky (depending on your orientation in relation to the sun).
