Neewer 52mm Polarizing Filter 52mm for lenses 📷

This circular polarising filter for 52mm lenses enhances contrast and reduces glare when shooting landscapes, water surfaces and skies, making colours appear richer and details clearer. It is compact and thin enough to suit wide-angle setups while helping to cut reflections from non-metallic surfaces during outdoor shoots.

Key Points

The filter uses a multi-layer polarising film to cut reflections and boost saturation, which is particularly useful for landscape and travel photography. It has coatings that repel water and oil, and a construction designed to resist dust and scratches, so maintenance is easier even in challenging conditions. 🌤️

Rotation of the filter is smooth thanks to the knurled edge, allowing precise control over the polarising effect when adjusting for the angle of reflection. The slim profile reduces the likelihood of vignetting on wide-angle lenses while keeping the overall setup lightweight for handheld work. 📷

Benefits

Using this accessory helps deepen blue skies and clarify distant foliage with fewer post-processing adjustments, according to the manufacturer. The reduced flare and ghosting from the multi resistant coatings can improve image clarity in bright conditions, and the low reflectance is intended to preserve true-to-scene colour rendition. It also comes with a protective case and a cleaning cloth to keep the optical surface ready for the next shoot.

A nuance to consider is that polarising filters cut some light, so exposure compensation may be necessary in low light or during long exposures. Also bear in mind that the polarisation effect varies with the angle to the sun, so results change as you recompose.

Usage Recommendations

For best results, rotate the filter while viewing the reflected highlights through the viewfinder or on the camera screen until glare diminishes and colours deepen. It is particularly effective on lakes, wet rocks and foliage where polarisation removes distracting reflections. When shooting skies at close to 90 degrees from the sun expect stronger polarisation, and consider using a tripod if longer exposures become necessary because of light loss. Avoid stacking multiple filters as this may increase vignetting on wide-angle lenses.
