Zeiss 82mm Circular Polarizer Filter: This filter helps you to reduce the harsh reflections and glare of polarized light by absorbing much of the polarized light. This increases the saturation of skies and foliage, cut through distant haze, and minimizes reflections in glass and on the surface of water. The T* filter has an anti-reflective coating helps reduce reflections on the filter's surface for better light transmission and high quality images. The filter ring is designed with a slim profile to allow its use on wide-angle lenses. Circular polarizers are ideal for use with digital cameras and autofocus lenses where a linear polarizer will often disrupt auto exposure and focus features. The suggested retail value is $203.
