When in use, this filter's 16x filter factor provides a 4-stop exposure reduction. Its 1.2 density creates a darkening of the entire image, allowing you to photograph with a wider aperture or slower shutter speed than normally required. By slowing your exposure time or increasing your aperture, you are able to control the depth of field and convey movement more easily.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSimultaneously, this filter can help to reduce reflections and 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA 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 autofocus and exposure functions. Due to how the light is broken down and filtered with a linear polarizer, autofocus and exposure accuracy become skewed during use. When the light becomes circularly polarized, it permits the use of these functions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis filter is constructed from quartz glass for enhanced durability. To prevent internal ghosting and reflections, 16 layers of anti-reflection coatings offer scratch protection to the filter substrate while promoting clarity and colour fidelity. The coatings associated with the PolarPro 82mm ND16 QuartzLine Solid Neutral Density 1.2 and Circular Polarizer Filter also result in an improved beading effect when in contact with water or oil, allowing for more efficient cleaning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe quartz glass is set within a brass filter ring with side knurlings that can be rotated in order to adjust the intensity of the polarization effect. Together, the brass material and knurlings prevent jamming and provide additional strength, as well as a textured grip when mounting or removing this filter from a lens.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e \u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1.2 neutral density filter effect darkens the image, allowing you to photograph with a longer shutter speed or wider aperture than normally required\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProviding a 16x filter factor with a 4-stop exposure reduction, this filter allows you to control depth of field and convey movement more easily\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe polarizing filter effect arranges and filters directionally polarized light perpendicularly to the reflected light, allowing for the absorption of much of the light\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHelps to reduce reflections and glare by filtering out light that has become polarized due to reflection from a non-metallic surface\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClears up haze in distant landscapes and provides more saturated, vivid colours\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStrongest polarization effect when used at a 90° angle from the sun\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe circular polarizer effect is ideal for use with digital cameras and autofocus lenses, where a linear polarizer will often disrupt auto exposure and focus features\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConstructed from quartz glass for enhanced durability\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMulti-coated to prevent internal ghosting and reflections while promoting clarity as well as colour fidelity\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBrass filter ring helps to prevent jamming and provides additional strength\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFilter ring can be rotated to adjust the intensity of the polarization effect\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e82mm front filter threads allow for use with other filters\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSide knurlings provide a textured grip when mounting or removing from a lens\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlastic filter case for storage and transport\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMicrofiber cloth for cleaning and maintenance\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"PolarPro","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42718961664167,"sku":"GC14-82-ND16\/PL","price":143.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0603\/4083\/0375\/products\/82-nd16_pl.jpg?v=1666588781","url":"https:\/\/www.georges.com.au\/products\/polarpro-82mm-nd16-quartzline-solid-neutral-density-1-2-and-circular-polarizer-filter-4-stop","provider":"Georges Cameras","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
