They come into their own especially when you're photographing large bodies of water like rivers, lakes or the ocean. PRO MASTER NIKON LENS FILTERS SOFTWAREĬutting out reflections allows you to capture the character and colour of the water with much more depth, improving the overall quality of the image.Įven if you're using some of the best photo editing software (opens in new tab), this is a difficult effect to achieve digitally. Much like the best neutral density filters (opens in new tab), polarizers have stayed enduring popular in the digital age because they do something unique that happens at the moment of capture. There are a few good tips for getting the best out of a polarizer. We'd recommend shooting with the sun at a 90º angle for best results, and remember that some polarizers like the newer LEE Elements range allow you to control the intensity of the effect, so you can make adjustments depending on the conditions. For a few more helpful tips, click to jump straight down to our section on what to look for in the best polarizing filters. Marumi offers a slightly confusing four distinct ranges of circular polarizers, each with different glass/coating combinations. The DHG Super range gets a water and oil-repellent coating, which works well, easily beading away droplets and resisting fingerprints, albeit not quite as well as the Lee Polariser. However, DHG Super polarizers don’t incorporate high light transmission glass, as found in Marumi’s EXUS polarizers, which may explain why our sample filter restricted light by half-a-stop more than the best filters on test. Otherwise, optical performance is excellent, with no drop in image sharpness, and no sign of color casts or vignetting.
The latter is mainly thanks to a slim frame design that’s a whisker under 5mm thick. It screws very smoothly into your lens’ filter thread, and the polarizer’s front element rotation is also slick. See our full Marumi DHG Super Circular PL review (opens in new tab) With filter thread diameters available in all common sizes from 37mm through to 95mm (and even an elusive 105mm option, if you can find it), there’s a DHG Super polarizer for almost any lens, and most are very well priced, in the UK at least. Lee’s Polariser works in conjunction with the LEE100 100mm filter system.
This is based around the LEE100 holder that attaches to your lens via a suitably sized adapter ring.
