Superb Circular Polarizing Filter for Sony 77mm Lenses
By Ray
This Sony circular polarizing filter is designed to fit Sony 77mm lenses, including Sony's best lens lineup of Zeiss lenses, including Sony SAL-135F18Z 135mm f/1.8 Carl Zeiss Sonnar Lens, Sony 24 -70mm f/2.8 Carl Zeiss Vario Sonnar Lens, and Sony SAL1635Z 16-35mm f/2.8 Carl Zeiss Lens. The filter is constructed with high quality glass with the T* Carl Zeiss coating, and finished in Black anodized aluminum. A snap closure plastic case with internal padding is provided. The filter is made in Japan.Although I own the 62mm version of this circular polarizer, the two are identical, other than the diameter. My own lens on which I use this filter is also actually a Zeiss (Sony SAL-1680Z 16-80mm f/3.5-4.5 Carl Zeiss Vario-Sonnar T DT Zoom Lens for Sony Alpha Digital SLR Camera), but I nevertheless have use for this circular polarizer at times. In spite of the Zeiss T* anti-glare coating of all Sony Zeiss lenses, a circular polarizing filter can greatly reduce reflective light (such as reflections from water and glass), and can also improve color depth and contrast. Like all circular polarizers, you have to practice with how to orient the filter for a given shot (the filter can be rotated while in place to permit the correct adjustment when correcting for glare, but the results can be significant.This type of filter is a great asset to have when shooting in difficult conditions, including extreme sunlight. You can purchase much less expensive filters, but they won't always be as thin as the better ones, and can introduce some unwanted effects, depending on the specific type lens being used. This one is an easy five star recommendation, with the caveat that it is indeed quite expensive. However, the quality is evident as soon as you start using it.Also ...... if all you only need is standard UV protection (no polarizing effect), try the excellent Hoya Pro One filters, for example:Hoya 77mm Pro 1 Ultraviolet (UV) Filter
