The B&W 37mm Kaeseman Circular Polarizing Multi-Resistant Coating (MRC) Filter is constructed from select polarizer foils and especially prepared optical glass. Kaeseman ("encased") filters are completely edge-sealed for maximum durability under extreme climatic conditions.

Polarizing filters are used to select which light rays enter your camera lens. They can remove unwanted reflections from non-metallic surfaces such as water or glass and also saturate colors providing better contrast.The effect can be seen through the viewfinder and varied by rotating the filter. The filter factor varies according to how the filter is rotated and its orientation to the sun.

The reputation of B+W's Schott glass is world renowned. The high production standards combined with a sturdy brass filter ring make B+W filters hard to beat. These filters have a "heft" to them that is impressive. They may feel heavier but the benefit is in the construction and results. Not only is the glass exceptional but so is the seal between the ring and glass. Schott Glass used in the manufacture of this filter is legendary and synonymous with the highest standards of filter production. It comes with a solid 10-year warranty.

Note! Circular polarizers are specifically designed for use with auto-focus SLR cameras (They will also work on manual systems without problems)

This filter eliminates ultraviolet rays to remove haze from outdoor shots as well as polarizing the light to remove reflections, and increase color saturation, without affecting the overall color balance
This filter is especially effective in areas of great temperature and humidity extremes
Use it indoors (museums, galleries) and outdoors
Effective for making a blue sky bluer, making clouds stand out or increasing (or decreasing) the color saturation of water

    Comments about B+W 37mm Kaeseman Circular Polarizing Multi-Resistant Coating (MRC) Filter:

    The B&W Kaesemann MRC Circular Polarizing filter is a top-notch filter. The frame is heavy due to the brass and it has a hefty feel. It threads very easily and the filter is easy to adjust once attached to the lens. It has a very smooth rotation. The MRC does make it a bit easier to clean than pure glass and is a nice feature to have.

          When shooting a still photo, the filter edge is shown - all photos receive an unnatural circular frame.
