The Nikon 82mm Circular Polarizer Filter II helps 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 polarizing filter arranges, and 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 plane in addition to the linear polarizing filter. The addition of this quarter wave plane is to circularly polarize the linearly polarized light for the use of auto focus and exposure functions. Due to how the light is broken down and filtered with a linear polarizer, auto focus and exposure accuracy become skewed during use. When the light becomes circularly polarized, it permits the use of these functions.

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.

Q: 4. I have a a Sigma 10-20 wide angle lens. Will I get vignetting?

A: It is possible that this Nikon 82mm Circular Polarizer Filter II can cause vignetting on the Sigma 10-20mm Lens.

Q: 5. Can I use auto focus with this filter?

A: Yes absolutely. However I had problems with the Nikon 95 Polarizeras the two polarizing elements of the filter separated as I unscrewed it from a Nikon 200-500 F 5.6 tele. The two elements of this thin Nikon polarizer are held together with a thin silver wire. I sent it back to Nikon and asked for a new replacement filter but Nikon declined and sent the polarizer back repaired. Fearing the same problem might reoccur, I replaced the Nikon Polarizer with a B&W 95 polarizer which seem much more substantial.

Q: 6. Best polarizing lens filters

A: This is for asking a question about this product. At a minimum, you'll need to add a verb and a question mark.

Q: 7. Does this have front threads for a lens cap?

A: Yes; the Nikon 95mm Circular Polarizer Filter II has 95mm front filter threads which would allow you to use the Nikon 95mm Snap-On Lens Cap, B&H # NILC95, on the front of the filter.

Q: 8. Brass or aluminum construction?

A: The material of construction in the Sony 82mm T* Circular Polarizer Filter is aluminum.

Q: 9. Is the metal brass or aluminum?

A: I'ts black, so I cannot tell. It weighs less than the B+W, so it might be aluminum. It threads on nicely and is well made. It is also relatively thin, but still has enough thread for a lens cap.

Q: 10. does this fit a sony sel55210 lens?

A: The Sony E 55-210mm lens uses a 49mm filter. The Hoya 49mm NXT Plus Circular Polarizer Filter, BH # HOCPNP49 is a great alternative. https://bhpho.to/3fMdm0B
