H&Y 95mm DROP-IN ND16 CPL (4STOP) FILTER This Drop‑In K‑Series Neutral Density 1.2 and Circular Polarizer Filter from H&Y Filters combines a solid neutral density effect with a circular polarizer. It is specifically made to fit between a separately available H&Y Filters 100 mm K‑Series Filter Holder and one of the filter holder’s adapter rings. When in use, the filter’s 16× filter factor provides a 4‑stop exposure reduction. Its 1.2 density darkens the entire image, allowing you to shoot with a wider aperture or slower shutter speed than usual. This gives you enhanced control over depth of field and allows for the conveyance of motion. Simultaneously, this filter helps reduce reflections and glare by filtering light polarized through reflection off non‑metallic surfaces. Sunlight often becomes partially polarized when scattering off electrons in air molecules, creating haze. A polarizing filter arranges and filters this directionally polarized light perpendicular to the reflected light, absorbing much of it. This leads to noticeably less glare, clearer distant landscapes, and more vivid, saturated skies and foliage. A circular polarizer differs from a linear polarizer by incorporating a quarter‑wave plate alongside the linear polarizing filter. This circularly polarizes light to preserve autofocus and auto‑exposure capabilities, which can be skewed by linear polarizers. Construction & Features: Crafted from Schott B270 glass for superior optical clarity and color fidelity. Housed in a geared aluminum‑alloy filter ring assembly with an external dial that allows independent rotation of the filter to adjust polarization intensity. Each surface includes: Eight layers of anti‑reflection coating, minimizing internal ghosting and reflections Anti‑smear nano coating, offering excellent beading of water or oil and easier cleaning Key Specifications & Benefits: Drop‑in neutral density and circular polarizer for use with a separately available H&Y Filters 100 mm K‑Series Filter Holder 1.2 ND filter darkens the image, enabling a slower shutter speed or wider aperture Offers a 4‑stop exposure reduction, aiding in depth‑of‑field control and motion capture Polarizing effect reduces glare, clears haze, and enhances color saturation Best polarization achieved at a 90° angle from the sun Circular polarizer ensures autofocus and auto‑exposure remain accurate, unlike linear polarizers Both sides feature eight anti‑reflection coatings plus an anti‑smear nano finish Includes a filter pouch for storage and transport. 0/5 (0 Reviews) Categories: Accessories, CIRCULAR POLARIZER FILTER (CPL), FILTERS, ND FILTERS Tag: H&Y 95mm DROP-IN ND16 CPL (4STOP) FILTER Brand: H&Y
