Nikon 52mm Circular Polarizer (C-PL3L) Glass Filter - Drop-In

Comments about Nikon 52mm Circular Polarizer (C-PL3L) Glass Filter - Drop-In:

Not many (any) other options. But, this is a very high quality piece of glass. My ONLY beef is with the case. It is huge. Luckily, I had an old 77 mm Nikon filter case sitting around. Wrapped the 52mm filter in some microfiber cloth and put it in that case. The big plastic case that comes with the filter is far too large to put in a camera bag, particularly the one that comes with the 200mm.

Excellent for naturepictures, can not be witout this product.

The lens ships with the clear drop-in and this is the only CPL that can be used with the 200/f2.

It does its job perfectly, has a wheel to rotate the CPL inside the drop-in housing.

But yes, remember that it is on all the time - you cannot simply grab the lens and shoot away your fleeting moment without remembering it is on and cutting away a lot of light!

That's the ploarizer to be used in the Nikkor 200mm f/2 VR lens. A real polarizer still can't be replaced by post processing plug-in software. It is solidly built, no real flaw can be found and it would deserve 5 stars. But the drawer's design (gears) should already be part of the lens itself. Sigma has shown this in their 300mm f/2.8 tele lens, which allows the usage of commonly available standard round filters including polarizer filters.

I purchased this filter for the 200mm F/.2.
I'll be traveling to the Caribbean and you know how hot the light is there .
Since the 200 is my prime lens, I needed to be able to rotate the polarizer.
This is the only option, and obvious by the price and quality of the nikon optics, I wanted the best on my best lens.
Dig in and buy it, It's not much when you take into consideration how much you paid for your lens.

I own a similar product for the 200-400 VR f/4. Easily swapped out with the standard filter, gives you the ability to have a circ. polarizer. Nikon quality through and through.

Comments about Nikon 52mm Circular Polarizer (C-PL3L) Glass Filter - Drop-In:

With telephoto lenses a polarizer is essential to remove glare and darken sky backgrounds. for the 200 f/2 it offers even greater subject separation by heightening contrasts this way.

I've found this specialized polarizer to be very effective. It's color neutral and offer a fine degree of polarization. It does dim images by two stops compared to newer polarizers this offer only 1.5 stops of light loss. You can't choose to use another polarizer due to the specialized purpose of this one.

But it does the job superbly and is a great accesory for the Nikkor lens.

I use this polarizer to remove summer haze from my outdoor sports portraits. Rugged construction, fits snugly. You rotate the element with a thumbwheel once it's in the unit. Does a good job of keeping out dust, but it does introduce an opening in the lens that you should protect from the elements. Provides an easier way to adjust a polarizer than one on the end of the lens.

There are a number of 52mm polarizing filters made by Nikon, and a number of lenses that specify that size. There are even multiple Nikon lenses that specify 52mm *drop-in* filters.

Pricey, no known alternatives, but it will improve your daytime shots.

Take note that this model only works with the AF-S VR NIKKOR 200mm f/2G IF-ED, and further this polarizer is the only one that will work with this lens. If you are intending to purchase the 52mm drop-in filter for say the 200-400 lens, you need a different model.
