B+W 95mm XS-Pro Käsemann HT Circular Polariser MRC-Nano Filter Summary
This high transmission (HT) B+W 95mm XS-Pro Käsemann HT Circular Polariser MRC-Nano Filter absorbs light oscillation directions instead of light wavelengths (as a colour filter does).
For this high-end polarising filter the foil pieces are selected individually for maximum colour neutrality. Following cementing between high-grade optical glass, additional grinding and polishing takes place. This guarantees outstanding sharpness even with very bright, apochromatic lenses. The latest cementing technique ensures lasting stability even in damp climates. The new generation of Käsemann High Transmission (HTC) polarising filters is fitted with a new polarising foil which has higher translucency (transmission), yet still provides outstanding effectiveness. The filter extension factor is only 2 to 3, equivalent to approx. 1 to 1.5 f-stops. Available in the F-Pro filter mount exclusively with MRC; in the XS-Pro mount exclusively with MRC nano.
Radiant white clouds against a deep blue sky or saturated fall colours are no coincidence. Polarising filters (pol filters for short) block the bluish grey veil from the diffusely polarised light of the sky. They augment the purity of true colours and increase colour saturation. Polarising filters are amongst the most important filters in (digital) photography. They can be rotated in the mount, allowing the visible regulation of the elimination effect in the viewfinder or on the display. The filter factor of a polarising filter is approx. between 4 and 8, equivalent to nearly three f-stops. With the High Transmission Käsemann HTC polarising filter the filter factor is approx. 2 to 3, which is equivalent to approx. 1 to 1.5 f-stops. The maximum effect is achieved at a shooting angle of 90° to the sun. For an even effect in the picture, 35 mm (or 28 mm in 35 mm film format) should be the minimum. The second beneficial effect of pol filters is the reduction of reflections on non-metallic surfaces (water, shop windows, lacquer). Objects behind these surfaces, including writing behind reflecting lacquer, are made visible a fascinating way to enhance images without using photo editing.
For landscape photography maximum polarisation is achieved when shooting at 90° to the sun. For an even effect in the picture, because of uneven skylight polarisation, the focal length should not be less than 28 mm on a full frame camera. Any wider and you may see an uneven polarising effect, which looks both unnatural and is hard to remove in post.
