The 82mm Ice CaNDi-5 Combination Solid ND 1.5 and Circular Polarizer Filter combines a solid neutral density effect with a circular polarizer effect. When in use, this filter's 32x filter factor provides a 5-stop exposure reduction. Its 1.5 density creates a darkening of the entire image, allowing you to photograph with a wider aperture or slower shutter speed without overexposing your image. By slowing your exposure time, you can create motion blur for special effects or to convey a sense of movement. Opening your iris allows you to create shallow depth of field, which can help isolate your subject.

Simultaneously, this filter can help 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 polarizer 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.

A circular polarizer only differs from a linear polarizer in that it contains a quarter wave retarder in addition to the linear polarizing filter. The addition of this quarter wave retarder re-randomizes the polarized light, so it will work with auto focus and exposure functions, which can function poorly when a linear and not a cirular polariaer is used.

This filter is constructed from optical glass for clarity as well as color fidelity and features an aluminum alloy filter ring that can be rotated in order to adjust the intensity of the polarization effect.

Q: 3. Will it work with Leica M 240 ?

A: It is not compatible with the M240 but they make this lower cost version instead for the M420: https://bhpho.to/3FUWAbX

Q: 4. does the deck attach to the frame?

A: The one-piece carpeted 1/2" ply solid deck attaches & detaches instantly to the R6 MultiCart via Metal fasteners.

Q: 5. Hi,can this filter fix in AF-S Nikkor 500mm F4E FL ED VR ?thks

A: Yes this filter is compatible with the AF-S Nikkor 50mm f/4E FL ED VR lens.

Q: 6. Does this Polarizer lens fit in a Nikkor 500mm f4 lens?

A: The Nikon 52mm Circular Polarizer (C-PL3L) Glass Filter - Drop-In is not compatible with the Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 500mm f/4E FL ED VR Lens, which uses a 40.5mm drop-in CPL filter.

Q: 7. How many stops of light do you lose? Thanks.

A: Nikon does not list the light loss while using the Nikon C-PL460 Slip-In Circular Polarizer. But most are are around 1-2 stops depending on the rotation and direction of the sun.

Q: 8. What filter needed for Nikkor ED SWM AF-S 400mm f2.8?

A: Nikon 400mm lens come with a drop-in filter. If you want a polarizing filter, the 40.5mm drop-in filter only works in the Nikon AFS 400mm f2.8E FL ED VR. This is the current model. The older AFS 400mm f2.9 requires the 52mm Circular Polarizer (C-PL1L).

Q: 9. Does this lens feature a tripod socket on the bottom? (1/4 inch)

A: No, the Leica Summilux-M 90mm f/1.5 ASPH. Lens does not have a tripod mount on the bottom of the lens.

Q: 10. Is the filter adjustment ring water resistant? Seems like a place that could potentially let in water into the lens during rain.

A: I am not sure but its a direct replacement for the filter that comes with the lens. I use a Thinktank cover any time Im shooting where the lens could get wet.
