Is polarizing filter necessary?

Without a polarizing filter, the greens appear “dirty”, giving evergreens a much darker and uglier tone. A polarizing filter makes a huge difference in such situations, not only significantly cutting down on those reflections, but also increasing the overall saturation and contrast of the image.

Can you use a UV and polarizing filter together?

The polarizer is used mostly at 90º from the sun, so you don’t have to worry too much about reflections/flair. Re: can I use polarizer filter together with UV filter? Yes but beware, it may cause some vignetting at the corner.

Are Hoya good filters?

The HOYA HD UV filter performed the best, with the smallest amount of flare out of the 5 filters we tested, and offers the strongest glass of them all. The coating also makes it easy to clean, and is a good choice to protect a high-quality lens.

Can you put a polarizing filter over a UV filter?

Yes, you can use the CPL over the UV filter, and the CPL will still do its job. However, if you use the CPL, I would remove the UV filter first. Two pieces of glass over your lens is probably not the best idea in terms if image quality.

Should you use a polarizing filter on a cloudy day?

Quick Tip #1: Use It On Overcast Days—The polarizer helps saturate a blue sky depending on the angle to the sun. If it’s overcast, there is no blue, but it can add a touch of snap to darker clouds. Use it to eliminate flat gray sky reflections onto shiny surfaces to eradicate glare that robs color saturation.

Which is better CPL or UV filter?

They are suitable for any type of photography, although landscape photographers prize them equally. If you’re looking for lens protection a UV filter is the best option, whilst altering color, mitigating lens flare, and reducing reflections and glare is better suited to the CPL filter.

Can you leave CPL filter on all the time?

A polarizing filter is not something you want to leave on your lenses at all times though since it reduces light transmission and it can potentially make the sky look unevenly gradient when using wide-angle lenses.

What’s so special about Hoya HD filters?

These new Hoya HD filters really are something special. “HD” is a marketing name, not a technical designation. Hoya’s HD filters come in circular polarizers (C-PL) and UV (protection) types. I’m always skeptical, but these new Hoyas really do what they claim.

Is the Hoya Pro1 circular polarizing worth it?

Overall, the Hoya Pro1 Circular Polarizing is an excellent filter, but given its relatively high price point I feel it should be much more resistant to scratches and this casts a shadow over what is an otherwise impressive polarizing filter.

Can you scratch the Hoya PRO1 MC PL-C filter?

I have been able to scratch all manners and makes of lens filters, but the Hoya Pro1 MC PL-C is more sensitive than most. I have managed to scratch its coating with even the slightest drag of a lens cap across the glass on the front of the filter. Most of the scratches on my Hoya Pro1 filters have come during my cleaning sessions.

What’s the difference between the Hoya HD and the Nikon 77mm?

Since the HD glass is so tough, it can be made thinner and therefore weigh less. The 77mm Hoya HD polarizer weighs 32.7g, while the superb Nikon 77mm Polarizer weighs 35.4g. The Nikon does have a slightly thinner 4.88mm mount, but hey, this lighter filter is what Glenn was banging on the counter. Try that with a Nikon.
