The 86mm SQ100 Circular Polarizer from Hoya is made to fit inside the Sq100 Filter Holder and can be easily rotated to control light reflections and color saturation. With its large diameter of 86mm, the polarizer filter won't cause any vignetting with most lenses. HOYA's special water repellent multi-coating is applied to the polarizer's optical glass, making cleaning easy and stress-free.

The polarizer adopts a high transparency polarizing film that translates to nearly 1/2 stop more light entering the lens, compared to other polarizer products. Even with the reduces loss of light transmission, it still yields the same full polarization effect, which is advantageous for shooting in low light conditions.

To use the polarizer, simply screw it into the geared adapter and attach the geared adapter to the lens. Attach the HOYA Sq100 holder to the geared adapter so that the geared wheel comes into the contact with the drive gear of the geared adapter.

A: The more expensive filter offers two key features the other does not. Anti-Reflective and Hydrophobic Multicoated

Q: 7. Will i be able to use this filter with my Canon EF 16-35mm F/4L IS USM ultra wide angle lens and will my auto focus still work with it? Sorry but I'm a true amateur. Thanks

A: If your lens takes a 77m yes you can use this filter and you should not get any issue with the AF using a CPL with a wide angle lens. I have read that you get autofocus and underexpose issues when you use a linear polariser. However I haven't experienced this since i don't use linear polarisers.

Q: 8. Does this filter fit the Nikon 500mm f/4 insert?

A: It does not. You will need B&H # NICPL405 which is the filter specifically designed for the drop in on that lens. https://bhpho.to/2X7oHNp

Q: 9. would it work with other filters???

A: Yes, this filter can stack onto other filters. You will want to mount the Cir/Pol filter last, so you can utilize the polarization effect.

Q: 10. Does this filter work on the Sony RX 10 iii?

A: Yes it will.
