What Is a Circular Polarizer?
Circular polarizing filters are essential tools for landscape, architecture, and outdoor photographers. They eliminate glare and reflections from water, glass, and other non-metallic surfaces, intensify blue skies, and bring out vivid colors in foliage and other subjects — all without affecting white balance. The circular design (as opposed to linear) is compatible with modern AF and metering systems.
