This Haida M10-II Drop-In Circular Polarizer Filter helps to reduce reflections and glare by filtering out light that has become polarized. The M10-II version comes with an upgraded aluminum frame that is made specifically to fit between a separately available Haida M10-II Filter Holder and an adapter ring. The improved aluminum alloy frame enables the filter to be closer to the filter holder resulting in better protection. Constructed from optical glass, this circular polarizer filter provides clarity, color fidelity, and independent rotation in order to adjust the intensity of its effect.

A polarizing filter arranges, and filters, directionally polarized light perpendicularly to the reflected light, allowing for the absorption of much of this light. The result is a noticeable reduction of glare and reflections from non-metallic surfaces. This circular filter clears up haze in distant landscapes and increases tonal saturation. Additionally, it allows strongest effect when used at a 90° angle from the sun. It is ideal for use with digital cameras and autofocus lenses where a linear polarizer will often disrupt auto exposure and focus features.

To prevent internal ghosting and reflections, each glass surface includes 10 layers of anti-reflection coatings, which also offer greater protection to the filter. The Nano coating provides an additional layer that results in an improved beading effect when the surface comes in contact with water or oil, allowing for more efficient cleaning.

Q: 2. What are the differences between this new Haida M10-II and the original M10 Filter Systems? Are they completely forward and backward compatible?

A: The second generation of Haida's M10 100mm filter holder, the M10-II is upgraded with a nonslip design that allows for easier handling in most weather conditions. It also has a new locking design for quicker attachment to adapter rings. New filter guides snap into place rather than requiring screws to be used as in the predecessor version. Also, a new locking knob will keep the holder in place after it has been rotated, whereas the previous generation did not have a rotation lock. This works with the same holder adapters and filters as the previous generation.
