Marumi DHG Super Circular PL Overview
The Marumi DHG Super Circular Polarizer is especially well-suited to whom a superb color balance has taken precedence in the first place in polarizing.
- Both hue reproducibility and high saturation color reproducibility are achievable simultaneously.
- While color neutrality is given priority, the transmittance rate remains approx 33%. (400-700nm average)
- Easy-to-maintain coating implemented, twelve layers in total on both sides;
- Water-/Oil repellent coating shed water off simply also by the air blower. Nuisances such as sweats, skin crème, lotion, fingerprint, or compounded grease stains will be wiped off.
- Anti-reflection coating sustains a low reflection with high scratch resistance performance
- Realized a thin aluminum rotating structure to avoid vignetting.
- Knurling embedded on the lightweight frame enables easy and smooth handling
- Made in Japan, indurated lamination technology by decades of technical succession.
What are the benefits of using a polarizing filter?
Why is polarizing filter recognized among most photographers as an essential must-have filter? Does Photoshop or other equivalent editing tool work instead of polarizer?
A polarizing filter allows you to;
- control reflections from non-metallic objects; the surface of water, window, or glossy coating/painting.
- prevent and reduce glare, still however, allow plenty of light through. It also makes subjects underwater transparent.
- Enhance color saturation and contrast, especially under a scene of deep blue sky, vivid white clouds, spring greenery, or autumn color of leaves.
Have you ever experienced, when taking landscape photography, ending up with a little different color from the actual landscape you have seen? The sky must have been more vivid and bluish in your eyes.
A polarizing filter can properly contrast the crystal blue sky and the white clouds.
Many photographers predominantly carry a polarizing filter, particularly for landscape photography next step after Lens Protector/UV filter in terms of protection, for some reason.
The effects of polarizers cannot be easily mimicked with digital editing. Carrying a polarizer makes your image more vivid and clear, turning the actual landscape you've seen into your picture.
The two images below obviously show the difference of impact with/without polarizing effect in contrast.
