Circular polarising camera filter Hama Profi Line 58 mm Multi Resistant Coating

The Hama Profi Line Circular polarising camera filter 58 mm with Multi Resistant Coating is a precision rotary polariser designed to reduce reflections, increase color saturation and improve image contrast. Made from high-quality lens glass and mounted in an ultra-flat, lightweight metal frame, the filter both optimises polarisation effects and protects the front of the lens.

Advantages

The filter removes non-metallic reflections from water, glass and plastic and produces deeper contrast and richer colours—skies appear bluer and clouds clearer. A precision rotary mount allows variable adjustment of the polarising effect; maximum effectiveness is achieved at approximately 30–40° to the reflecting surface. Multi-layer NMC16 and vapour-deposited coatings provide excellent light transmission and anti-reflective properties, while a nano-coated lotus surface makes the glass water-, oil- and dirt-repellent and easier to clean. The ultra-thin wide mount prevents vignetting and the black anodised metal mount with blackened inner edges minimises internal reflections.

Suitable for

• Landscape and outdoor photography
• Reducing glare from water, glass and shiny surfaces
• Enhancing sky contrast and colour saturation
• Photographing through windows, aquariums and other reflective media
• General lens protection for everyday use

How to use

Screw the 58 mm filter onto the front thread of a compatible lens and rotate the outer ring to adjust the polarising effect while observing the scene through the viewfinder or on the camera display. For strongest removal of reflections and best colour saturation, position the camera so the reflecting surface is at approximately 30–40° relative to the lens axis. Reposition and readjust the filter as needed for different angles and lighting conditions. Clean only with suitable lens-cleaning materials to preserve the coatings and nano surface.

Recommendations

The filter is most effective for landscape and outdoor scenes where control of reflections and enhanced sky contrast are required. Avoid using the polariser at very wide angles where the effect becomes uneven across the frame, and store the filter in its box when not in use to protect the coatings and mount.
