Neewer 62mm Circular Polarising Filter 62mm

This 62mm circular polarising filter from Neewer reduces reflections and boosts contrast for landscape and outdoor photography, helping skies and foliage look richer while cutting glare from water or glass. It is an ultra-slim CPL with an emphasis on low reflectance and durable coatings, useful when shooting outdoors in bright conditions.

Key Points

The filter uses a multi-layer polarising film designed to eliminate most non-metallic reflections and increase colour saturation, which can make skies appear deeper and vegetation more vivid. According to the manufacturer, the polarising film blocks UV in the 300–380 nm range and achieves very low light reflectance, improving clarity and reducing ghosting. The slim frame helps avoid vignetting on wide-angle lenses while allowing smooth rotation for precise control of the polarising effect. 🌤️

Usage Recommendations

Attach the filter by screwing it onto a 62mm lens thread and rotate the ring to adjust the amount of polarisation. For best results, use it when the sun is at a 90-degree angle to the scene to maximise sky darkening and contrast. It is particularly helpful for photographing water, reflective surfaces, snow scenes and foliage. Keep the cloth handy to remove water spots or fingerprints caused by outdoor shooting. 📸

Positive Aspects

The 30-layer coatings combine water-repellent, oleophobic, anti-static and scratch-resistant properties, so the surface wipes clean with minimal effort and resists dust buildup during field use. The magnalium alloy frame offers a lightweight but sturdy build and the anodised threads aim for a precise fit that reduces the chance of cross-threading. Note that, as with any polariser, the effect varies with lens focal length and shooting angle and it may not be the best option when very long exposures are required. 🌿
