The 86mm Carl ZEISS T* Circular Polarizer Filter from ZEISS helps to reduce reflections and glare by filtering out light that has become polarized due to reflection from a non-metallic surface. A polarizer is able to absorb much of this polarized light and, in turn, increase the saturation of skies and foliage, cut through distant haze, and minimize reflections in glass and on water.

A circular polarizer differs from a linear polarizer in that it integrates a quarter wave plane within a linear polarizing filter. The addition of this helps to circularly polarize reflected light, which enables your camera's autofocus and auto-exposure mechanisms to function properly.

The T* anti-reflective coating helps to reduce reflections on the filter's surface and promote a better light transmission for high quality imagery. The filter ring is designed with a slim profile to allow its use on wide angle lenses, but front filter threads are still available for the use of additional filters.

Helps to reduce reflections and glare by filtering out light that has become polarized due to reflection from a non-metallic surface.

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.

T* anti-reflective helps to reduce surface reflections in order to produce greater light transmission for a higher quality image.

Q: 1. Will this filter work with my Canon 16-35 f2.8L Mark 4 lens ?

A: You wrote mark 4 but there was only the Canon EF 16-35mm f/2.8L original and II and III versions. The III has an 82mm thread and will work with this Zeiss filer. All but the original version of this lens will work with this filter.

Q: 2. Hi everyone, besides of the fact that this filter makes your pictures pop, does it also protect the lens as well? (The lens I have is the Zeiss Batis 25mm f/2 with Sony A6000) Thank you.

A: Yes it does protect. Excellent alternative if you don't mined the light reduction

Q: 3. This product is listed as having 'slim profile', but would it be suitable for a Fujifilm XF 14mm lens?

A: The Zeiss filter would be too thick. I would recommend this B+W filter instead. Please see the following link:http://bhpho.to/1uxPx0aThe B+W filter is the same thickness but the ring is pushed out wider so there is less rick of vignetting.

Q: 4. Does this Zeiss 67mm polarizer filter fit my Zeiss Batis 25mm f/2 lens? Do I need a filter wrench?

A: I keep this filter on my Zeiss Batis 25 mm lens 98% of the time. It fits on very nicely and screws off without a filter wrench. The filter also has front threads so that you can stack another circular filter such as a ND over it. Easy.

Q: 5. will this work with the canon 28-70mm f2 lens?

A: Yes :) The 28-70 f/2L USM takes 95mm filters.

Q: 6. Zeiss or Hoya HD3 CP? They are about equal in price, but which is the better filter for Sony f/2.8 24-70?

A: A lens filter is made of the glass, the filter material, the ring and the coatings. The quality of each determines the quality of the filter. Both of these filters, ZEISS 82mm Carl ZEISS T* Circular Polarizer Filter B&H # ZEPOLF82 and the Hoya 82mm HD3 Circular Polarizer Filter B&H # HOCPHD382 are the best the manufacturers can make and they are of the best you can get for your lens and camera. Saying which is best is like which is better, a BMW or a Lexus? You will not go wrong with either of these beautifully made, thin profiled (no vignetting) optically perfect Polarizers. The only difference is the Zeiss does the normal 1.5 stop loss for a Pola whereas the Hoya claims only a 1.25 stop loss. For the vast majority of shooting situations with a Pola, I think that negligible but in certain situations it could be a valuable asset. You might be the type who likes to standardize on filter brands in which case since Hoya makes only filters, they do have a larger variety. Then again, maybe you only want one or two filters. Have fun.

Q: 7. Will it fit Fujifilm x100v?

A: You can use 49mm filters on the Fuji X100V if you first place this adapter on the camera. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/760882-REG/Fujifilm_16144559_AR_X100_Adapter_Ring_for.html

Q: 8. Will this fit on my 55mm sonnar T FE 55mm f/1.8 ZA zeiss lens ?

A: Yes, the ZEISS 49mm POL filter will fit to this Sony lens.

Q: 9. Will this work for video on a Sony A7S with a Sony FE 28-135mm f/4 G PZ OSS Lens?

A: I do not now. I am using with otus 85mm and ziess 15 mm. It is very good filter.

Q: 10. Would this work with the Nikon Z 14-30 mm at 14 mm without vignetting?

A: I'm sorry for the worthlessly late reply. I don't know. I do know that my Heliopan "slim" filter for my Zeiss 15mm on my Nikon D800 has no vignetting.
