Key Features
- Wide Angle (Low Profile Design)
- Makes a Blue Sky Bluer
- Enhances Clouds
- Eliminates Reflections
Tiffen 58mm Circular Polarizer Filters - Light rays which are reflected become polarized. 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 changed by rotating the filter. The filter factor varies according to how the filter is rotated and its orientation to the sun.

Can you mount a filter or screw in hood to the front of this filter?
No; this filter uses a Wide Angle (Low Profile) mount. In order to help eliminate vignetting (darkening of the corners), it does not have a front thread. As the Tiffen 58mm Circular Polarizing Wide Angle (Low Profile Design) Filter does not have front filter threads, you would not be able to connect a screw-in filter or a screw-in lens hood onto the front of the filter.

How does this compare to the Tiffen Digital HT CPL that is about $40 more? Which one is higher quality for videography/filmmaking?
The Tiffen CP Wide Angle is our standard circular polarizing filter with no front filter threads on the filter ring in order to prevent vignetting when shooting at wider focal lengths. The Tiffen Digital HT CP is our premium quality filter and includes multicoated glass to for scratch resistance and has a titanium coated filter ring.

does this work with sony FE 20 f1.8?
does this work with sony FE 20 f1.8?
It definitely should since it works without vignetting on my APS-C 10-18 mm UVA zoom, which starts at 16mm FF equivalent. The Sony lens does not seem to have a front element that extends closer to the outer edge of the lens barrel than my lens. Conclusion is you are probably safe.

Does it include a front cap?
Does it include a front cap?
The Tiffen 77mm Circular Polarizing Wide Angle (Low Profile Design) filter has very limited front filter threads to avoid the chance of vignetting in your images when shooting at wider focal lengths. As the lens cap attaches to the filter thread, attaching any lens cap will not be possible. We suggest taking this filter off your camera and returning it to its case when not in use. You should then attach a Tiffen 77mm UV Protection filter to the lens and attach the lens cap to that filter.

Will this 77mm filter fit onto the Canon RF 70-200mm f2.8 lens with the supplied Canon lens hood attached?
Yes. Although I find it hard to adjust the polarization with the hood on. Not impossible, just a little clunky. I don't think my lens hood has the filter window as mentioned in the other answer.

Does this have female threads on the outside to attach a ND filter ?
Tiffen "Wide Angle" filters have limited front filter threads to lessen the change of vignetting when shooting at wider focal lengths. For this reason, you cannot stack a filter on the front of this filter.
