IRIX Edge CPL 55mm Filter

The circular polarizer filter is a filter that passes light rays to the sensor in the camera only at a specific angle, so we’re able to compensate for unwanted light reflections that could appear on the surface of that lake, car, or even the leaves which we’re trying to capture, thereby increasing their saturation and achieving more saturated foliage colors.

The Irix Edge Circular Polarizer is a type of filter that every photographer should have because it allows to achieve in-camera effects that are hard or impossible to achieve in post-production such as removing glare, improve contrast and saturation and increasing transparency of glass or water.

The Irix Edge Circular Polarizer Filter shuts out most of the reflections on shiny objects such as water, glass or metal, thus achieving a number of benefits. The Circular Polarizer Filter makes water more transparent with improved contrast and saturation. Landscape pictures will become more eye-catching.

A circular polarizer makes glass more transparent which allows you to shoot through glass without any glare or reflections. The Irix Edge Circular Polarizer Filter shuts out most of the reflections, thus achieving a natural structure and color of the subject.

Almost all of the trees, flowers, grass, etc. have shiny surfaces which reflect some of the light. The Circular Polarizer filter shuts out all of these reflections and so increasing color saturation and clarity of the foliage.

The Irix Edge Circular Polarizer Filter allows us to achieve a deep blue color of the sky and improve cloud contrast, which gives the appearance of a more three-dimensional structure of the clouds.

The Irix Edge Circular Polarizer (CPL) filter is extremely useful for landscape and architectural photography by reducing reflections from non-metallic surfaces, emphasizing detail and increasing the color density of the pictures. The glass surfaces of the Irix polarizer are covered by a multi-coated anti-reflection layer that keeps the image clear and full of natural colors. The additional waterproof and oil repellent coating protects them from stains and fingerprints and also enables their use in extreme weather conditions.
