Camera Polarizer Lens

[5.6 x 4 x 1.7"] I bought this matte box to be used with a minimalist rig I set up: a small mirrorless camera, zoom 16-35 on a Speedboster,microphone and a cage. Didn't want a box with flags, and that was another reason to choose this model. Considering the relatively low price, I didn't set my expectations too high. Well... What a surprise: I got a well thought, designed and built matte box. The two trays, one fixed and one rotating (the one closer to the front lens) allow the use of a polarizer and ND at the same time, or color correction filter and polarizer, or whatever the need is for a specific situation. The design of the box doubles a a lens shade, which so far as proved very efficient and accomodating wide-angle lenses. My 16-35 on this camera is equivalent to a 22-50, and it is well protected from stray lights or flare from side lighting. I also got step-up rings made by the same brand to accomodate 3 other lenses. They are relatively cheap, and with an external diameter of 83mm to clamp the matte box tightly. If flags are needed, there are threaded holes to mount them. I use glass filters of the same brand, which have the right thickness for the tray. Synthetic/polymer filter may be too thin to fit without 'curving'.

[0.665 lb] Having a crop sensor camera, using the Rokinon 14mm is great for waterfall photos since I can get real close to my subject. However, not having a polarizer, the photos were never as good as I wanted them. Now I can get remove the glare and really start to enjoy the lens. Just remember, if you use this filter to darken a blue sky on a 14mm lens without clouds, the sky will look terrible but this is not what this polarizer and lens combo is for.

[46 mm] I wanted a polarizer for my TG-5. It fits the lens adapter ring. It makes the camera the perfect all weather, carry in your pocket, everywhere camera, especially on sunny days.

[Yes, 360°] Smooth rotation of polarizer glass and threads to attach to the lens.

[Glass] Every lens needs a UV filter for protection. To also get the polarizer for little more is worth it.

[Glass] You can’t go wrong with B+W! This is the best polarizer!

[Aluminum] This is a good, solid polarizer.

[Aluminum] This polarizer actually spins easily to adjust unlike others I have tried. The lens cap also fits over the polarizer. Good choice

[1x USB-C Male] This is about the only Polarizer I'd use. Personally, you don't need a circular polarizer since you should be shooting in ladscape mode, right. Works great, except it is a little easy to knock off as I'm actually on my 2nd one. I personally use an Incase Protective Cover over my GoPro when I need it ready to shoot and any other style polarizer would get in the way. Botton line, it's worth it if you shoot around water and sky or any outdoor shooting.

[0.095 lb] Polarizer filter I use for the Tamron 15-30mm lens. I cut the film to size and it fits on the back end of the lens.
