HIGH-DEF FILTERS
Get richer, more saturated colors when capturing the outdoors using a circular polarizer. The Hoya HD circular polarizer uses polarizing film with 25-percent higher light transmission than the standard film found in photographic filters. Testing also showed the glass to have four times the breaking strength. Multiple coatings mean less reflection off of the glass surface, and that allows you to capture more light. List Price: TBA.
