The Heliopan 60mm Circular Polarizer Filterhelps to reduce reflections and glare by filtering out light that has become polarized due to reflection from a non-metallic surface. This results in a noticeable increase in the saturation of skies and foliage, as well as clearer imagery when photographing in hazy conditions. A circular polarizer differs from a linear polarizer in that it supports full use of a camera's autofocus and auto exposure functions.

The front and rear surfaces of the filter both feature a single anti-reflection coating. Each coating helps to increase light transmission by reducing reflections, scattered light, and ghosting. Additionally, they offer protection to the filter substrate while helping to keep the glass clean for longer than uncoated glass.

This Heliopan filter is constructed from Schott glass for increased optical clarity and color fidelity. It features a brass filter ring for durability as well as jamming prevention.

Q: 1. Which diameter filter cap will fit this? Obviously a push on type cap as it doesn't have threads.

A: Since this is a relatively obscure size for lens caps, I advise you to use a Hood Hat from Op/Tech to better protect your lens. These hood hats are made from neoprene, so it will stretch to custom fit your lens/filter combination: http://bhpho.to/1i0bRV6

Q: 2. Hello, can you write me, what is the thickness of the frame without the thread?

Q: 3. I have a sigma 10-20 wide angle lens.Will this filter cause vignetting?

A: The Heliopan 82mm Circular Polarizer Slim Filter will have about the least vignette on the Sigma 10-20mm lens but set at 10mm you will get some with pretty much any polarizing filter.

Q: 4. If I put this filter on a Nikon Z 24-70mm "S" lens, will the lens hood fit (on and reversed)? Will I see vignetting? Thanks!

A: The Heliopan 82mm Circular Polarizer SH-PMC Filter is not thin so it would vignette the 24-70 lens. This B+W filter would be a better option because ti is thin and will work with the hood for your lens: https://bhpho.to/31bpvbp

Q: 5. Thanks, but I would prefer a hard lens cap as it protects more and won't touch the lens while transporting. I did find a Sensei 105mm Clip-On Lens Cap (http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/818347-REG/Sensei_lcc_105_105mm_Clip_On_Lens_Cap.html) -will this fit any 105mm filter?Also, B+W USA seems to have a 105mm filter cap. Do you have it for sale and will it fit any 105mm filter?

A: A 105mm clip-on cap will not fit on this filter, as there are no threads on the filter to clip the cap onto. We do not currently sell the 105mm filter cap from B+W, as they have discontinued their line of slim filters and it is no longer available to us.

Q: 6. What are those index marks on the filter ring mean?

A: The index marks do not have a specific number but can help you get to the same position.

Q: 7. I have a leica Q (bought with B&H). do I need adapter, or it can be fitted perfectly?

Q: 8. Will this fit on a Rokinon 35mm F1.4 AF Series II Full Frame Wide Angle (Sony E) Lens?

Q: 9. Would this fit my Zeiss 35mm lense ??

A: It depends which Zeiss lens you have, there're multiple. If you see your lens listed on the B&H site you can check the filter size in the "Specs" section.

Q: 10. Is this filter threaded so that a screw-in lens hood can be used?

A: The Heliopan 77mm Slim Circular Polarizer SH-PMC Filter does not have front filter threads. As such, no, you would not be able to use a lens hood on the front of the Heliopan 77mm Slim Circular Polarizer SH-PMC Filter.
