The FotodioX 145mm Circular Polarizer Filter is compatible with the FotodioX WonderPana 145, FreeArc, and Absolute filter holder systems. It helps to reduce reflections as well as 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.

The FotodioX 145mm Circular Polarizer Filter is constructed from optical glass for clarity as well as color fidelity and features lightweight, aluminum-alloy filter rings. A rear filter ring connects to a compatible filter holder while four brass knobs along the side of the front filter ring allow the filter glass to be easily rotated. This provides the ability to achieve the desired degree of polarization even if another filter is placed in front of the FotodioX 145mm Circular Polarizer Filter.

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.

1.25 to 8x filter factor reduces exposure by 0.3 to 3 stops.

Constructed from optical glass for clarity.

Lightweight, aluminum-alloy filter rings along with four brass side knobs allow the filter glass to be easily rotated. The desired effect can be easily achieved even if another filter is placed directly in front.

Filter pouch included for storage and transport.

Q: 6. This filter will fit the lens to the Sigma 300-800?

A: The Sigma 300-800m zoom has a 165mm front diameter. The Fotodiox UV filter is only 145mm, so I doubt if this filter will fit the lens in question....

Q: 7. Does this fit with the Arri LMB 4x5 Matte Box?

A: Please visit a href= https://tiffen.com/mrt-compatibility-2/ target= _blank https://tiffen.com/mrt-compatibility-2//a for compatibility information

Q: 8. Can this be used with this lens Samyang AF 14mm f/2.8 RF Lens for Canon RF ?

Q: 9. Can this VND setup be used next to another Rota Tray with just a CP, so I can have both VND and CP? Will this work?

A: The Tiffen Multi Rota Tray Variable Neutral Density Kit with Extra 4x5.65" Circular Polarizer has a rotating ROUND CP that is permanently in the tray, and could be used alone for CP. When combined with one of the included Tiffen 4 x 5.65" Circular Polarizer Filters, which would take up another space in your Matte Box, it becomes a variable ND solution. Tiffen also includes a spare 4x5.65" Circular Polarizer as a backup.

Q: 10. This adapter can you with Nisi S5 Sony 12-24 ?

A: This ring is not compatible with the 12-24.
