Hoya 77mm Circular Polarizer Super Multi-Coated (S-HMC) Glass Filter - Thin

Hoya 77mm Circular Polarizer Super Multi-Coated (S-HMC) Glass Filter - Thin - Light rays which are reflected become polarized. Polarizing filters are used to select which light rays enter your camera lens. Hoya's High Transmission Super-Multi-Coating minimizes reflection at the filter surfaces which reduces flare and ghosting. Hoya SMC Slim Polarizers are for wide-angle lenses, are 5mm thick, and do not have a front thread. Note! Circular polarizers are specifically designed for use with auto-focus SLR cameras (They will also work on manual systems without problems) • This filter eliminates ultraviolet rays to remove haze from outdoor shots as well as polarizing the light to remove reflections, and increase color saturation, without affecting the overall color balance • Removes unwanted reflections from non-metallic surfaces such as water or glass • The effect can be seen through the viewfinder and changed by rotating the filter • The filter factor varies according to how the filter is rotated and its orientation to the sun
