Combining two of the most useful filters available, Luminesque's 67mm Circular Polarizer and UV Slim PRO Filter Kit is well-suited to all forms of photography. Both filters are constructed from Schott optical glass and feature a 12-layer multi-coating for maintained clarity and image quality. Each filter is also set in an anodized aluminum filter ring, with the UV filter featuring a slim 3.4mm-thick profile to lessen the likelihood of vignetting with wide-angle lenses.
The UV filter is a general use, clear filter that helps to absorb ultraviolet light and reduce the bluish cast of daylight. It is also useful as a general protective filter to leave on lenses at all times in order to reduce dust and moisture from reaching the front lens element and to provide additional protection in case of accidental impacts. Its 12-layer multi-coating also helps to achieve 98.2% light transmission for faithful color reproduction and contrast.
The circular polarizer filter helps to reduce reflections and glare by filtering out light that has become polarized due to reflection from a non-metallic surface. This results in a noticeable increase in the saturation of skies and foliage, as well as clearer imagery when photographing in hazy conditions. A circular polarizer differs from a linear polarizer in that it supports full use of a camera's autofocus and auto exposure functions.

The Retrospective 7M Shoulder Bag from Think Tank Photo stores and protects your DSLR or mirrorless camera with an attached 24-70mm lens, an additional 70-200mm lens, a flash, and accessories. Alternatively, it accommodates a small drone with controller and accessories. Designed to look like a shoulder bag rather than a camera bag for a low profile, it offers dedicated compartments for your camera gear.
Made from durable and water-resistant cotton canvas, it has a large flap with dual turn buckles to keep it securely closed. The interior is lined with nylon and padded with closed-cell foam for protection. The main compartment has padded touch-fastening PE-reinforced dividers for organizing your gear. A large pocket under the flap stores and organizes memory cards, cables, your wallet, keys, and more.
A rear pocket enables quick access to documents, maps, boarding passes, and notebooks. The exterior water bottle accessory pocket collapses and compresses to the bag with the integrated strap for a streamlined profile. A simple webbing rail accommodates modular pouches or a carabineer, so you can further customize the bag to your needs. Carry the Retrospective 7M with the padded removable top handle, or wear it using the adjustable padded shoulder strap. You can also attach it to the handle of a rolling carry-on bag. To further protect your valuable gear, a seam-sealed rain cover is included for wet weather conditions.
The 128GB Professional 1800x UHS-II SDXC Memory Card (GOLD Series) from Lexar features a storage capacity of 128GB and takes advantage of the UHS-II bus to support advanced DSLR functions such as continuous shutter bursts and rapid shooting as well as raw and JPEG captures. This card is also well-suited for video capture, including 4K, 3D, and Full HD video, and can achieve maximum read speeds of up to 280 MB/s and maximum write speeds of up to 210 MB/s. Thanks to its V60 speed class rating, minimum write speeds are guaranteed not to drop below 60 MB/s.
UHS-II cards achieve their speed through an extra row of pins, and while this card has been designed for cameras that are UHS-II / V60 compatible, it may be used in devices that do not support UHS-II / V60. However, bear in mind that this card will then default to your device's speed class and bus rating, such as UHS-II and V30, which supports minimum write speeds of 30 MB/s, or UHS-I and U3, which also supports minimum write speeds of 30 MB/s. If your device does not support U3, this card is compatible with the U1 and Class 10 standards, each of which guarantee minimum write speeds of 10 MB/s.
As with most Lexar media, this memory card is resistant to water, shock, vibration, and x-rays. It can also withstand temperatures ranging from 32 to 158°F, allowing you to take this card with you into extreme environments, such as snow and deserts. Should the card become compromised, users in the Americas will benefit from a limited lifetime warranty, while those in Germany and regions not recognizing the lifetime warranty will benefit from a limited 10-year warranty.
