Usage
The filter didn’t create any problems during the tests. It’s easily cleaned. The ring turns smoothly, a slight swoosh of friction is audible.
Summary
4th place in the overall ranking (28.3/37.5)The transmission curve is flat up to red, after crossing 700 nm rises a little. Violet color is not extinguished entirely, but it’s not a noticeable effect. The polarizer becomes transparent in infrared. The coefficient of extinction of about 2.5/10000 is a good result for a foil polarizer. C1 and C2 graphs indicate that we’re dealing with a quarter-wave plate of zeroth order designed for the middle of visible spectrum. The filter presents a high level. The only thing you can complain about is flares, but their level is not high. This, combined with reasonable price (179 PLN) makes the filter commendable.
The editorial staff of lenstip.com have decided to award this filter with “Good purchase according to LensTip.com” for being the second on the list in the econo-ranking of polarizing filters.
