This K&F Concept Slim Polarizer Filter 77mm Multicoatedfrom K&F Concept Slim Polarizer Filter 77mm Multicoatedis a 77mm multicoated glass circular polarizing filter that helps reduce reflections and glare by filtering out light that has become polarized due to reflection from a nonmetallic surface. The light from the sun becomes partially polarized due to reflecting off electrons in air molecules, causing the light to scatter into what appears as haze. A polarizing filter arranges and filters directionally polarized light, allowing for the absorption of much of this light. This results in a noticeable reduction of glare and reflections from nonmetallic surfaces and an increase in the saturation of skies and foliage.

This filter is constructed from Japanese optical glass for clarity as well as color fidelity, and it features multicoating to prevent internal ghosting and reflections. It is made with an aluminum alloy filter ring that can be rotated to adjust the intensity of the polarization effect. The slim design reduces the potential for vignetting when used with wide-angle lenses.

Q: 1. I'm thinking in buying this CPL for my Zeiss Batis 2/25 - Is it hard to clean or take care? i do street photography in New York City - would a CPL be useful for the type of photos i capture? -Thanks!

A: The ZEISS filters are the best and with any filter requires care like your camera equipment so always use a microfiber cloth with bottled water prior to you shoot. You can always remove dust during processing in PS. Use this filter for shooting water and glass to remove reflections and it will bring out all colors but you can get the deep colors in processing. ZEISS optics are the best. When you use this filter you need to adjust it to the darkest point or your colors will not come out.

Q: 2. Will I be able to put on a lens hood onto the front of the filter?

A: Hi--yes, you can attach a lens hood to this filter.

Q: 3. Is it water resistant? Does it have water repellent coating?

A: The coatings associated with the PolarPro 82mm QuartzLine Circular Polarizer Filter also result in an improved beading effect when in contact with water or oil, allowing for more efficient cleaning.

Q: 4. Does this work with a Canon R5 24-105 lens (77mm) - and if so, can I screw it into the UV-Haze filer that I keep on this lens for protection?

A: Yes, the PolarPro 77mm QuartzLine Circular Polarizer Filter will work with a Canon 24-105mm lens; any 77mm filter will adapt to a Canon 24-105mm lens. We highly suggest using slim-profile filters to avoid vignetting issues.

Q: 5. Where are these manufactured ?

A: The ZEISS 82mm Carl ZEISS T* Circular Polarizer Filter is manufactured in Japan.

Q: 6. What material is the ring made of? Brass, Aluminum, or other?

Q: 7. How scratch resistant is this? -- Im also considering the Hoya HD3 as it multi-coating claims to help with scratch resistance

A: The ZEISS 82mm Carl ZEISS T* Circular Polarizer Filter features a world class coating, that is very scratch resistant. The advantage to the Hoya HD3, is it's anti-static capability. If one is working in a location with constant sand flying around the HD3 would be a good choice.

Q: 8. Does this product fit with a lens hood?

A: A 77mm screw in lens hood or addtional filter will attach without problem. depending on lens though, attention needs to be paid to any potential vignetting that may occur with wide angle lenses. Also, some bayonet hoods may not slip over the outer ring of the filter.

Q: 9. Does this come with the same case / cover system that the McKinnon Variable ND filter comes with?

A: It does not. The PM Variable ND Signature II comes with its round unique protector (hard cover + rubberized cover), and the Quartzline CPL comes with a square hard case with magnetic closure.

Q: 10. Can you use the lens hood on a Nikkor Z 24-70mm f2.8 S lens with this CP filter?

A: You can use them together but it will be difficult to adjust the polarizer.
