Combining two of the most useful filters available, the 58mm UV and Circular Polarizer Filter Kit from Sunpak is an ideal starter filter kit to benefit a wide variety of photography styles. Both filters are constructed from optical glass and are set in lightweight aluminum alloy rings. Additionally, this kit also comes with a 52-58mm step-up ring to extend the versatility of the filters and allow their use on lenses with a 52mm filter ring diameter.

• Absorbs UV light and reduces bluish cast of daylight for greater image clarity.

• Clear filter provides no additional coloration or contrast, allowing you to pair this filter with others.

• Works as general protection filter to reduce dust, moisture, and scratches from reaching the front lens element.

• Clear optical glass construction and lightweight aluminum alloy filter ring.

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

• Arrange and filter directionally polarized light perpendicularly to the reflected light allowing for the absorption of much of the light.

• Lessens haze in distant landscapes and provides more saturated, vivid colors.

• Strongest effect when used at a 90° from the sun.

• Optical glass construction and lightweight aluminum alloy filter ring.

• Permits the use of 58mm threaded filters on lenses with 52mm filter threads.

• Lightweight aluminum alloy construction.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. will a nikon lens hood fit over the magnetic adapter and filter?

A: Unfortunately, we do not have the ability to test filters on specific lenses for compatibility with the lens' lens hood. Also, different lenses will have different lens hoods and different fits. That being said, do note that we do have a 30-Day Return Policy for the above filter, so if you are unhappy with the filter, you may return the filter within 30 days for an exchange or a refund subject to the terms & conditions of our return policy (listed on the bottom of our website).

Q: 2. does it work on sigma 56mm 1.8 ?

A: If you are referring to the Sigma 56mm f/1.4 DC DN Contemporary Lens, then yes, the Vid-Atlantic 58mm Anamorphic Bokeh Filter with 52-58mm Step-Up Ring would be compatible for use on the Sigma 56mm f/1.4 DC DN Contemporary Lens. However, as the Sigma lens uses 55mm filter threads, you may also need to purchase the Sensei PRO 55-58mm Aluminum Step-Up Ring, B&H # SESURPA5558, to connect the filter onto your Sigma lens.

Q: 3. Just to be sure, does the 49mm filter have a revolving feature as previous filters or is it a fixed immovable one?

A: Yes, all Circular Polarizing filters rotate.

Q: 4. Does this filter work with the normal lens caps, or does it require a slip-on cap?

A: As the Hoya 77mm HD3 Circular Polarizer Filter has 77mm front filter threads, yes, you may use a standard snap-on 77mm lens cap on the front of the filter.

Q: 5. Will this work on a Canon XF400 camcorder???

A: The efficacy of this lens accessory on sensors smaller than ASP-C has not been listed and is therefore doubtful.

Q: 6. Different Hoya Circular Polarizer Filters (NXT, HD2, etc) have different filter factors. Is the polarizing effect independent of that factor? Or to state it a different way, does the filter have two effects - polarizing & neutral density? So would a CP filter with a lower (smaller) filter factor be just as effective at the polarizing effect as one with a larger (bigger) filter factor?

A: That is actually a great question. My main experience is with B&W HTC polarizers and the Hoya HD3's. The Hoya HD3 has become my favorite polarizer because it is so bright and easy to use. I'm not sure if the degree of polarization is the same because of the extra brightness, but it works SO well that it does not seem to matter if there is a small loss in any way. Also, the HD3 goes very nicely from warm to cool as you rotate it which is very useful. When I go back to my B&W polarizer it works well only on bright days when there is a lot of light - so to put it bluntly, the HD3 will spoil you in every way and is worth the money.

Q: 7. Are the rings brass or aluminum? Are there front threads?

A: The rings are aluminum. Brass rings have a tendency to transfer any impact shock directly to the lens, while aluminum rings ill absorb most of the impact.

Q: 8. How do you adjust the Polarizer when is attached to the magnetic strip?

A: The rotating ring is separate from the magnetized ring that holds it in place.

Q: 9. Is this a rotating filter for different darkness or is it just a straight one color?

A: A polarizing filter helps eliminate reflections, from shiny surfaces such as water, glass, etc. One can control unwanted reflections by rotating the filter to minimize or even eliminate reflections. This filter has no effect on colors.

Q: 10. Does this come with a magnetic lens cap?

A: No, it does not. Filers typically don't come with caps.
