This PolarPro Summit Landscape Filter Holder Kit is designed to allow for the convenient use of up to two neutral density filters along with a circular polarizer filter on lenses with 77 or 82mm front filter threads. Included is a PolarPro Summit Core Filter Holder, a PolarPro Summit Neutral Density 1.8 Filter, a PolarPro Summit Soft-Edge Graduated Neutral Density 0.9 Filter, and a PolarPro Summit Circular Polarizer Filter. The two neutral density filters are each encased within a durable and lightweight filter frame. By encasing the sides of a filter, the filter frames help to eliminate or limit stray light, which could have unwanted effects on exposure, from coming in between a filter placed within the filter holder, as well as the filter holder and the lens behind it. Additionally, the filter frames reinforce rigidity of the neutral density filters while preventing their sides from having to come into direct contact with the filter holder's slots. This protects those side surfaces and promotes sharp results by ensuring that the filter remains flat.

The PolarPro Summit Core Filter Holder includes a dedicated inner slot for PolarPro Summit neutral density filters that feature quick-access side handles. The combination of that slot and the side handle allows a PolarPro Summit neutral density filter within a PolarPro Summit Core Filter Holder to be quickly switched with a different PolarPro Summit neutral density filter needed for other subjects or changing lighting conditions. An outer slot on the PolarPro Summit Core Filter Holder can accommodate a PolarPro Summit graduated neutral density filter that also includes a side handle. The filter holder also features locking knobs that are each dedicated to one of those slots, allowing a PolarPro filter within a PolarPro Summit Core Filter Holder's corresponding slot to be secured, while an installed PolarPro Summit graduated neutral density filter can be adjusted upward or downward relative to the subject.

Use of the filter holder can be easily accomplished by first screwing one of two included adapter rings onto a lens with 77 or 82mm front filter threads. After being fitted onto the adapter ring, the filter holder's main locking knob helps to provide a reliable, yet adjustable connection that allows the holder to be rotated 360°, further benefiting the use of graduated neutral density and other filters that are enhanced by varied positioning. Additionally, adapter rings are separately available for lenses with 67, 72, or 95mm front filter threads.

The PolarPro Summit Core Filter Holder also accommodates an included drop-in circular polarizer filter. An external dial on each side of the filter holder integrates with the polarizer's filter ring, allowing for the independent rotation of the circular polarizer filter to adjust the intensity of its effect.

Utilizing aluminum alloy components, the PolarPro Summit Core Filter Holder is durable while remaining lightweight. A snap-on filter holder hood is included to further block unwanted stray light, as is a padded case that can fit the entire PolarPro Summit Landscape Filter Holder Kit during storage and transport.

• Filter does not affect coloration of the image and is ideal for use with other filters
• Constructed from quartz glass for enhanced durability
• Multi-coated to prevent internal ghosting and reflections while promoting clarity as well as color fidelity
• Coatings also help prevent scratches and result in an improved beading effect when in contact with water or oil for greater cleaning efficiency
• Encased within durable and lightweight aluminum alloy filter frame for use within a PolarPro Summit Core Filter Holder, which helps to eliminate or limit stray light, reinforce filter rigidity, and protect the filter's edges

• Darkens bright areas of an image, such as skies, while leaving the remainder of the frame unaffected
• Provides up to a 3-stop reduction of light in selective areas
• Soft-edged line of transition between the dense and clear areas
• Useful for images where the transition between sky and foreground is indeterminate, such as images featuring mist, fog, or the tops of trees

• Helps to reduce reflections and glare by filtering out light that has become polarized due to reflection from a non-metallic surface
• Polarizing filters arrange and filter directionally polarized light perpendicularly to the reflected light, allowing for the absorption of much of the light
• Clears up haze in distant landscapes and provides more saturated, vivid colors
• Strongest effect when used at a 90° angle from the sun
• Circular polarizers are ideal for use with digital cameras and autofocus lenses where a linear polarizer will often disrupt auto exposure and focus features
• Reduces exposure by 1.3 stops
• Constructed from quartz glass for enhanced durability
• Multi-coated to prevent internal ghosting and reflections while promoting clarity as well as color fidelity
• Compatible with a PolarPro Summit Core Filter Holder and can be independently rotated while in use to adjust the intensity of the polarization effect
