PolarPro 77mm QuartzLine Circular Polarizer Filter

BH #POCP77Q • MFR #77-CP
PolarPro 77mm QuartzLine Circular Polarizer Filter
Key Features
  • Circular Polarizer Filter
  • 2.5x Filter Factor, +1.3 Stop
  • Helps Eliminate Reflections and Glare
  • Reduces Haze in Landscapes
The 77mm QuartzLine Circular Polarizer Filter from PolarPro helps to reduce reflections and glare by filtering out light that has become polarized due to reflection from a nonmetallic 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 nonmetallic surfaces and an increase in the saturation of skies and foliage.

PolarPro QuartzLine Overview

The 77mm QuartzLine Circular Polarizer Filter from PolarPro helps to reduce reflections and glare by filtering out light that has become polarized due to reflection from a nonmetallic 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 nonmetallic surfaces and an increase in the saturation of skies and foliage.

A 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.

This 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 color fidelity. The coatings associated with the PolarPro 77mm QuartzLine Circular Polarizer Filter also result in an improved beading effect when in contact with water or oil, allowing for more efficient cleaning.

The 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.

Once this thing is on it is glued on - especially if there is a temperature change. I had to buy filter grips to get it off. It is maddening when you are traveling. I have another brand circular polarizer that I use because I hate this one so much.

Good CP but........

This is a great filter, it showed up today so I don't have a lot of time behind it but so far it's good. It comes in a nice durable case that is a stiff rubber/metal construction. The one thing I really liked is that the filter threads onto the case and then has a rubber cover that pops over the top keeping it very protected when not in use. The box and packaging offered a great presentation when unboxing.....BUT. It's a little large. I like lower profile filters so as not to obstruct my lens hood. I am using a sony FE 200-600mm lens and the lens hood is sealed onto the lens via a rubberized gasket. Installing this filter is not easy on this lens and leaves a big risk for cross threading, so it will go to the sigma lens on my Nikon. Otherwise this is an exceptional lens filter of exceptional build quality and I highly recommend this filter as an overall general use every day filter to, if nothing else, protect your investment.

Good but has two issues by design

I bought the 95mm size for this CPL for use on my new Canon RF 28-70 F2 lens. This CPL will not screw onto my lens unless I install my B+W MRC Master #803 ND0.9 filter on the camera 1st and then it will install to that filter. So basically, I can only use the CPL in conjunction with noted ND filter, and not by itself. In addition to this issue, it is not possible to install my Canon lens cap for noted lens on the CPL. I can install the lens hood and stack on other filters so that is good. Also the CPL seems to be well made, and I did not feel the adjustment ring was too tight as others have mentioned. I have not decided it I will keep it due to the two limitation I noted.

Worth the money...

I've used other brands of filters over the years. I've switched to PolarPro as I was impressed with their ND filters. This filter is well built and comes in a nice metal case to protect it in your bag. The ring is a bit stiffer to turn than most, but it's not an issue. I've been really happy with the results. Since I live in Florida, the summer clouds are our mountains. I love using a CPL to bring out the details in the clouds and darken the blue sky to give extra pop when I convert to B&W. I'll be buying more PolarPro products in the future!

Out of the box I'm impressed with the quality and build. Threads easily, I like the large knurled ring with indicators, and the case fits in my filter pouch - and will get used! This replaces another well used and abused brass CPL which is embarrassingly scratched and blurred. Will see how well this stands up over time and hard use.

It does not. The PM Variable ND Signature II comes with its round unique protector (hard cover + rubberized cover), and the Quartzline CPL comes with a square hard case with magnetic closure.

Is this an ND-16 Filter?

Is this an ND-16 Filter?
Asked by: Daniel
No. An ND-16 reduces exposure about 4 stops. This is a polarizer that will only reduce a mere 1.3 stops. This is mainly used to make skies more contrasty, remove glare and reflections from things like glass and water. If you're looking into an ND-16 take a look at this instead. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1418315-REG/polarpro_77_nd16_pl_quartzline_77mm_nd16_pl_filter.html This is a ND-16 with a polarizer (still just 4 stops of reduced light). It's a 2-in-1.

Does this product fit with a lens hood?
Asked by: Karla
A 77mm screw in lens hood or addtional filter will attach without problem. depending on lens though, attention needs to be paid to any potential vignetting that may occur with wide angle lenses. Also, some bayonet hoods may not slip over the outer ring of the filter.
