Cavision 5.65 x 5.65" Circular Polarizer Filter
Key Features
  • Minimize Reflections and Glare
  • Reduces Haze and Blue Cast in Landscapes
  • Enhances Color and Tonal Saturation
  • 4mm-Thick Glass Construction
The Cavision 5.65 x 5.65" 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.

Cavision Circular Polarizer Overview

The Cavision 5.65 x 5.65" 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.

This filter measures 5.65 x 5.65" / 143.5 x 143.5mm and is constructed from 4mm-thick optical glass.

This filter is designed to be used with 35mm lenses up to 70mm in focal length or that offer an equivalent angle of view depending on the sensor size of the camera.

Helps to reduce reflections and glare by filtering out light that has become polarized due to reflection from a non-metallic surface.
Arrange and filter directionally polarized light perpendicularly to the reflected light allowing for the absorption of much of the light.
Lessens haze in distant landscapes and provides more saturated, vivid colors.
Strongest effect when used at a 90° angle from the sun.
Circular polarizers are ideal for use with digital cameras and autofocus lenses where a linear polarizer will often disrupt auto exposure and focus features.
Constructed from high quality optical glass.

Cavision 4 x 5.65 Circular Polarizer Filter (4 x 5.65 filter) and SmallRig Lightweight Carbon Fiber Matte Box (4 x 5.65 filter tray) do not work together. I am about to figure out which company took wrong measurements.

What does it means that this filter " designed for lenses with focal lengths of 70mm or less. " Is ther any harm in using it with long telephoto lenses? Will it harm the image quality?
Asked by: Doron
Anything above 70mm we don't recommend using the Circular Polarizer because you may not be able to achieve focus.

question

Will this 4mmm thick filter fit in the Lee Foundation Kit filter holder?
Asked by: Anonymous
You would need to purchase the LEE Filters Side Guides for 4mm Thick Filters, B&H # LESG4, to use 4mm filters with the LEE Filters Foundation Kit Filter Holder. http://bhpho.to/1iXS5y5

Since this is a circular polarizer, does that mean the amount of polarization will be affected by the amount you rotate it?
Asked by: Luke
Yes as you rotate it inside the filter holder purchased separately you set the amount of polarization. But you would rotate a linear polarizer the same way to set the polarization.

question

what filter holder can be used with this filter?
Asked by: Anonymous
I am using it in my Cavision matte box but any filter holder of those dimensions can be used. The 4x5.5 format is very common for filter holders on matte boxes although 3x3 and 4x4 holders also exist

question

Is it me or is the textprinted on the wrong (back) side of the filter? Circular pols only work one direction (not an issue when its in a threaded mount but this is reversible) and when I use this one in the correct way the writing on the glass faces the back. Anyone else notice this?
Asked by: Stephen
The word text u mean the numbers written on the filter. Stil i didnt notice it but its working perfectly for me. I dont think its printing mistake
