Vivitar 52mm Circular Polarizer Glass Filter

The Vivitar Circular Polarizing (PL) Filter allows you to remove unwanted reflections from non-metallic surfaces such as water and glass, and they also improve color saturation, clarity and contrast. This threaded filter is often used to increase the contrast and saturation in blue skies and white clouds, for example. Vivitar's polarizing filters do not affect the overall color balance of a shot, and they will provide protection for your lens while shooting. Vivitar filters are perfect for digital SLR cameras or traditional 35mm SLR applications, including black and white photography.

CPL Filters
A Circular Polarizer filter is used to reduce unwanted reflections from non-metallic surfaces such as water and glassand they also improve color saturation, clarity and contrast. Modern lenses often have protection built into them as well as digital sensors, however, filters are commonly used to help protect the surface of the lens from scratches, smudges, dirt and other hazards.

Using Circular PL Filters:
A polarizer is different than most filters in that it is composed of two pieces of glass, mounted independently inside a round frame so that one can be rotated relative to the other. As it is rotated, it increasingly cuts out glare and haze. With an SLR, you can actually observe this change through the viewfinder. Polarizers reduce glare from water, glass, or any non-metallic surface. You can also use a polarizer filter to darken blue skies. Polarizers come in two versions, linear and circular, and autofocus cameras will perform best with a circular polarizer.
