LEE Filters Elements Polariser Circular Filter - 72mm

The primary benefit is reducing unwanted reflections from non-metallic surfaces like water and glass, and enhancing the saturation and contrast of skies and foliage.

Check the diameter number followed by a 'ø' symbol on the front of your lens. This filter is designed for lenses with a 72mm thread size.

Yes, like all filters, it can affect light reaching the sensor, potentially requiring exposure compensation. Modern cameras with phase-detection AF systems generally perform well with circular polarisers, but very strong polarisation effects can sometimes impact AF accuracy.

Depending on the angle and the degree of polarisation, it can block between 1 to 2 stops of light.

Yes, you can stack it with other filters, such as ND filters. However, stacking too many filters, especially on wide-angle lenses, increases the risk of vignetting and image degradation.

The LEE Filters Elements Circular Polariser Filter comes with a limited lifetime warranty.

Yes, the filter features an all-weather construction with hydrophobic and oleophobic coatings, making it resistant to water and fingerprints. However, always exercise care and clean it properly afterwards.

This is more common with ultra-wide-angle lenses. Try rotating the filter to a different polarisation setting or consider using a lens hood that is compatible with filters. For extreme cases, you may need to switch to a wider filter or a different lens.

Ensure the filter is screwed on straight and is not loose. Experiment by rotating the filter ring slowly while observing the effect on the reflections. The angle of your camera to the reflective surface also plays a significant role.

Circular polarisers inherently reduce light. Adjust your exposure settings (aperture, shutter speed, or ISO) to compensate for the light loss, typically 1-2 stops.

Ensure no debris is caught between the filter threads or the rotating rings. A gentle clean of the filter's knurled edge may help. Avoid forcing the rotation.
