Chiaro Premium Brass CPL Overview

This Premium Circular Polarizing Filter from Chiaro is a high-transmission polarizing filter that combines advanced filter construction with state-of-the-art cold coating process to minimize glare and reflections while delivering vibrant colors and enhanced contrast. This premium circular polarizing filter is constructed with glass manufactured by Schott, the industry leader in optical glass. The glass is enhanced with 24 layers of coating for protection against scratches, fingerprints, water, and dust. Superior TrueHue Premium optical film provides the best-in-class color accuracy.

The rotating brass ring provides precise adjustment of this circular polarizing filter's orientation to easily find the optimal angle that minimizes reflections, glare, and haze for deeper colors like a bluer sky and greener grass. Brass construction reduces the likelihood of binding with the accessory threads and gives the filter a heftier and premium feel. Side and top knurling is easy to grasp and make fine adjustments regardless of the filter's angle. The filter's thin design also prohibits vignetting.

Circular Polarizing Filter
Chiaro's Premium Circular Polarizing Filter screws onto most lenses with 72mm front filter threads. A rotating ring makes it easy to find the precise angle for ideal orientation with the sun and achieve the desired polarizing effect in your image; and you have the advantage of protecting your lens from dirt, dust, and scratches.
Minimize Reflections, Glare, and Haze
Use this circular polarizing filter to minimize reflections when shooting through a window or into a pool of water, or minimize the glare from water particles in the air that create haze in landscape photos. For outdoor photography, unwanted light reflection off of leaves, lawn, or pavement will be minimized with this filter and will render deeper colors like a bluer sky and greener grass.
Schott B270 Optical Glass with TrueHue Optical Film
Chiaro's CPL Premium filters are made with highly polished B270 optical glass by Schott, the industry leader in manufacturing optical glass. Each filter is treated evenly on both sides with TrueHue Premium optical film and 24 layers of anti-scratch, dust, oil, and water coating for excellent transmittance and protection against the elements.
Rotating Brass Filter Ring
The lightweight quick-on and easy-off rotating brass filter ring won't bind with your lens's accessory threads. The brass ring also provides a heftier and more premium feel that's preferred by many photographers.
Side and Top Knurling
For easy handling and finding the precise angle that gives an image the most vivid and lifelike hue, this circular polarizing filter features both top and side knurling. So no matter what angle you rotate it to, it's always easy to grip and adjust.

Chiaro Premium Brass CPL Reviews

Easy to manipulate, very little distortion

This is far better than the cheap polarizing filter it is replacing. The ring is easy for even my arthritic hand to turn, the polarizing effect is as expected, and it introduces less color weirdness than the cheaper version.

will the lens hood fit with this filter?

will the lens hood fit with this filter?
Asked by: Dennis
The Chiaro Premium Circular Polarizing Filter (67mm) (B&H#CHCPLPREM67) features a slim design (for its type of filter), and thus will fit inside of many lens hoods. Having said that, there is no way to be sure of the fit without trying it. It should also be mentioned that since the means of adjusting the polarization is by twisting it, rotating any CPL while it is positioned within a lens hood can be cumbersome (unless the lens hood has an access port). As such, you may prefer to consider using a different means of blocking off-axis light such as the Flex Lens Shade for SLR Lenses (B&H# FLA001): https://bhpho.to/4tSqcxV We offer a 30-day return policy for both of the above products: https://bit.ly/4cQLfLv
