Enhance your photos with vibrant color and reduced glare using our circular polarizing filter.

Enjoy all the benefits of shooting with a CPL filter without any of the hassle of getting it attached to your lens when you need it. Powerful magnets hold you filter in place while you are shooting, so no more screwing or aligning thread patterns and fiddling to get it attached or fumbling while you get it off. There is an included lens cap making use of the same fantastic magnetic feature. While significantly faster this is also considerably simpler too.

A Circular Polarizer Filter is an indispensable tool for any photographer who wants to capture the most stunning images possible. By reducing glare and reflections, enhancing colours, and improving contrast, this filter can help you create beautiful, eye-catching photographs. Whether you’re a professional photographer or an amateur enthusiast, a Circular Polarizer Filter is an invaluable tool that you can’t do without. K&F Concept’s Nano-X Series of filters are crafted for the demands of UHD capture. When you want 8k resolutions, use a filter that is designed for uncompromising quality.

What is a Circular Polarizing Filter
A circular polarizing filter is used by photographers to reduce glare and reflections on shiny surfaces and to increase the overall saturation and contrast of a scene. This is achieved by blocking certain wavelengths of light, which can have the effect of darkening blue skies and making white clouds pop out more. Additionally, a circular polarizing filter can be rotated to adjust the amount of polarization, allowing photographers to control the intensity of the effect. This can be particularly useful for landscape photography, where it can help to make colours appear more vibrant and to make the sky appear more dramatic.

Why Photographers Love It
Because they filter light through polarisation, CPL’s can in effect, filter or control bounced light. This means it can remove reflections from surfaces like water, glass, paint, leaves, sky, buildings and streets. This versatility is why photographers often want it on every lens they have. Cutting through glare and reflections helps your images to have more colour, saturation and better contrast. This type of filter can allow you to choose whether you capture the reflection of clouds on a lake surface or allow you to shoot through the surface and see into the water. Either option is available simply by rotating the filter to enhance or reduce the effect. Filtering the reflected light has several desirable effects on your image. It makes the sky and clouds look amazing by allowing you to darken the sky and capture more shape and definition in clouds which would otherwise just be indistinct white blobs. Should your subject consist of greenery and foliage, the CPL will help bring out colour, saturation and texture. Instead of just catching the shine on leaves you can capture more of their colour. If cityscapes are your thing, a CPL is the perfect tool to tame glare from glass. Even if your fascinated with automotive photography, the CPL will help you control glare from shiny paint surfaces and windows. It is very important though that a CPL can rotate, as the intensity of its effect is controlled by rotating it to increase or decrease the effect. Simply view your scene through your viewfinder and adjust the CPL effect by rotating the outer wheel until perfection is achieved.

K&F Concept Quality
The Nano-X CPL filter is precision engineered from Japanese optical glass. The Nano-X range is specifically designed to meet the high-resolution capture abilities that modern digital cameras are capable of. They are made up of 28-layer nano-coating technology and a double-sided polishing process. The most prominent of these coatings, is the anti-reflection coating, which effectively reduces internal reflection problems such as flares and ghosting. Another benefit of these coatings is that they increase the effective light transmittance through the filter. These coatings allow the filters to achieve high-definition picture quality and be waterproof. It also helps them to have a high level of scratch resistance and grease does not adhere well to the surface. Fingerprints wipe off very well instead of just smearing. These filters are also double threaded, this allows you to stack screw on filters. The kit also includes a plastic case for the CPL so you can safely store and transport it whenever needed.

How to set it up and use it
Please verify your camera’s lens thread size before ordering. Your camera’s lens thread size will be marked somewhere on the lens barrel or printed underneath your lens cap. This number is always preceded by the symbol ø for diameter. When you match your lens diameter to the correct K&F CPL Circular Polarizing Filter you screw on the supplied magnetic adaptor ring. This ring houses magnets allowing the CPL filter to attach and hold in place. You are still able to rotate the filter so you can control the amount of light polarization. There is a magnetic lens cap included which means you can protect your filter or lens without having to remove all the parts first. The lens cap can be use on the adaptor ring or with the filter still in place. Most filter damage happens while trying to get them on or off your lens. This system is so fast and simple you greatly reduce the chances of loosing your grip and dropping a filter by accident.

A circular polarizing filter can be useful in a wide range of situations, but it is particularly effective in situations where there is a lot of glare or reflections. This can include situations where you are shooting near water, where the surface of the water can reflect the sky and surrounding scenery, causing glare and reducing the overall contrast and saturation of the scene. A circular polarizing filter can also be useful in situations where you want to darken a bright blue sky and make white clouds stand out more, such as when shooting landscapes. Additionally, a circular polarizing filter can be useful for shooting through windows or other transparent surfaces, where it can help to reduce reflections and increase the overall clarity of the scene.

The importance of light quality cannot be overstated when it comes to taking beautiful images. Optical filters are the key to controlling the light that your camera records. There is no substitute for a high-quality filter set as they help to make your photos look more vibrant and dynamic. Not even the powerful digital editing software of today can compete with the exposure control that filters offer. Additionally, a circular polarizing filter can be adjusted to control the intensity of the effect, giving you more flexibility and creativity when composing your shots. Overall, having a circular polarizing filter can help you to capture more striking and impressive photos, which can bring you more enjoyment and satisfaction from your photography.

K&F Magnetic Filters tend to last longer as they get dropped less often by accident. We have all fumbled when trying to screw on a filter while out in the field. The speed and ease of this system will make you wonder how you ever lived without it.
