Good to know it was a success...
this from Hoya's US website (hence spelling)
"....Circular polarizing filters allow photographers to achieve creative, in-camera, effects not possible after the image is created. A polarizing filter simply filters out unwanted reflections from non-metallic surfaces such as water and glass in addition to light reflecting off moisture and pollution in the atmosphere. By rotating the filter you can select just the right amount of filtration needed to achieve the creative effect. This results in bluer skies, greener leaves, reduced or eliminated reflections, and greater clarity in your final image...."
Since digital cameras allow the image to be checked, any unwanted effects can be minimised or removed entirely. My understanding; a CPF is a conventional polarising filter with additional tech so it doesn't interfere with digital camera operation. They do appear to be more expensive - and as others have stated there is light-loss - However, with modern sensors that may not be an issue, except at night perhaps, where an extra "stop" may mean a less-blurred picture.
Cheers. |
