FotodioX 145mm Circular Polarizer Multi-Coated Ultra Slim Filter

FotodioX WonderPana Slim Overview

The Fotodiox 145mm Circular Polarizer Multi-Coated Ultra Slim Filter is a large 145mm filter that works with the WonderPana 145 & 66 filter systems. It helps to reduce reflections and glare by filtering out light that has become polarized due to reflection from a non-metallic surface. The light from the sun naturally 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, this directionally polarized light perpendicularly to the reflected light, allowing for the absorption of much of this light. This results in a noticeable reduction of glare and reflections from non-metallic surfaces and an increase in the saturation of skies and foliage.

The multi-coating helps to increase light transmission by reducing reflections, scattered light, and ghosting. Additionally, it offers greater protection to the filter substrate and stays cleaner for longer than uncoated filters. The ultra slim 6mm aluminum ring of this filter allows it to work with wide-angle lenses without issue and this filter also includes a carrying pouch for protection.

A circular polarizer only differs from a linear polarizer in that it contains a quarter wave plane in addition to the linear polarizing filter. The addition of this quarter wave plane is to circularly polarize the linearly polarized light for the use of auto focus and exposure functions. Due to how the light is broken down and filtered with a linear polarizer, auto focus and exposure accuracy become skewed during use. When the light becomes circularly polarized, it permits the use of these functions.
