Circular Polariser Filters
Circular polariser filters, often called CPL filters, are the most common type used in modern photography. They are designed to work with autofocus and metering systems in digital cameras, making them suitable for DSLR, mirrorless and many video camera setups.
A circular polariser is especially useful for:
- Reducing reflections on water, glass and wet surfaces
- Deepening blue skies in landscape photography
- Enhancing colour and contrast in outdoor scenes
- Improving detail in foliage and natural textures
- Managing glare during bright daylight shoots
To use a CPL filter, simply attach it to the front of your lens and rotate the outer ring until the effect looks right through your viewfinder, screen or electronic viewfinder.
Linear Polariser Filters
Linear polariser filters also reduce glare and reflections, but they are less commonly used with modern autofocus cameras. They can be useful in specific technical, studio or scientific applications, but most photographers using current mirrorless and DSLR systems will generally choose a circular polariser.
If you’re unsure whether a linear or circular polarising filter is right for your camera, the George’s Cameras team can help you check compatibility before you buy.
Specialty Polariser Filters
Some polarising filters include additional features designed to improve performance, durability or ease of use. These may include multi-coated glass, slim frames for wide-angle lenses, anti-static coatings, water-repellent surfaces or premium optical construction for sharper results.
Specialty polariser filters are a smart choice if you regularly shoot outdoors, work in dusty or wet conditions, use high-resolution cameras, or want a filter that can handle more demanding creative work.
How to Choose the Right Polariser Filter
Choosing the right polarising filter starts with your lens. Filters are usually purchased according to the filter thread size of your lens, measured in millimetres. You’ll often find this marked on the front of the lens or inside the lens cap, usually shown with the ø symbol.
For example, if your lens has a 77mm filter thread, you’ll need a 77mm polarising filter.
When choosing a CPL filter, consider:
Filter size
Match the filter to your lens thread size. If you use multiple lenses, you may choose a larger filter and use step-up rings for smaller lenses.
Lens type
Wide-angle lenses may benefit from slim-frame polarising filters to reduce the risk of vignetting in the corners of the image.
Photography style
Landscape and outdoor photographers may want premium optical glass and stronger coatings. Casual shooters may prefer an affordable, reliable everyday polariser.
Build quality
If you shoot outdoors often, look for filters with durable frames, quality coatings and easy-to-clean surfaces.
Image quality
A filter sits in front of your lens, so optical quality matters. Better filters can help maintain sharpness, colour accuracy and contrast.
Video needs
If you shoot both photo and video, consider how the polarising filter works with your rig, gimbal, matte box or other filters.
A polariser can slightly reduce the amount of light entering the lens, so you may need to adjust your exposure settings. In most situations, your camera will compensate automatically, but manual shooters may need to adjust shutter speed, aperture or ISO.
