Product Description

Light rays which are reflected by any surface become polarised and polarising filters are used to select which light rays enter your camara lens. They allow you to remove unwanted reflections from non-metallic surfaces such as water, glass etc. They also saturate colors and increase contrast. Polarizers come in two variations but have the same effect. Linear polarizers work with older camera meters; circular polarizers are designed for today's newer slpit-beam metering systems used in auto focus cameras; check your camera's manual.

I have used Cokin filter system for years and find their products generally very good and practical. The circular polarizer was another good product, although it did have one flaw. To use a polarizing filter, you need to be able to rotate it in relation to the scene you are photographing to achieve the desired effect. The fit of the circular polarizer in the Cokin filter holder is so tight, however, as to make rotating the filter more difficult than it should be. Other than that, it was a very good product.
