Circular polarising camera filter Hama Profi Line 52 mm Multi Resistant Coating

The Hama Profi Line Circular polarising camera filter 52 mm with Multi Resistant Coating (MRC) is a precision rotary polariser designed to reduce reflections and increase colour saturation and contrast. Made from high-quality lens glass with multi-layer vapour-deposited coatings and a nano lotus coating, the filter removes non-metallic reflections from water, glass and plastic, improves depth and tonal separation, and simultaneously protects the front of the lens. The ultra-flat, lightweight rotary mount with black anodised metal and blackened inner edges minimises stray reflections and vignetting while maintaining stable shape across temperature changes.

Advantages

The filter offers variable polarising effect through a precision rotary mount to fine-tune contrast and reflection removal. NMC16 multi-layer coating on both sides ensures high light transmission and low reflectance; scratch-resistant glass and a nano-coating provide easy cleaning, water and oil repellence and anti-misting properties. The ultra-thin mount reduces the risk of vignetting and only minimally increases the lens front profile. Coated front and back surfaces prevent ghosting and double images while the edge sealant reduces contamination.

Suitable for

• Landscape photography to deepen skies and saturate colours
• Shooting through windows, aquariums or other glass surfaces to reveal hidden subjects
• Reducing reflections on water, wet surfaces and plastics
• General outdoor photography where improved contrast and colour rendition are required

How to use

Screw the 52 mm filter into the front thread of a compatible lens and rotate the outer ring to adjust the polarising effect. For strongest removal of reflections and best sky darkening, position the camera at an angle of approximately 30–40° to the reflecting surface and rotate the filter until the desired contrast and saturation are achieved. Clean the coated surfaces with a soft microfiber cloth and appropriate lens cleaning fluid; use the nano coating properties to remove droplets and dirt more easily.

Recommendations

Use the polarising filter primarily for outdoor scenes and when photographing through glass or water. Check for vignetting on wide-angle lenses and avoid stacking multiple filters unless necessary. Store the filter in its box when not in use to protect coatings and threads.
