Overview
Key Features
【Natural Color Enhancement】 NEEWER CPL Filter significantly improve contrast and saturation, giving your photos vivid color.The imported polarizing film eliminates 99.9% of reflections from non metallic surfaces, perfect for photographing blue skies, clouds, water, snow, plants, landscapes and other objects with rich colors and fine details.
【HD Visual Experiences & Low Light Reflectance】 Superior HD optical glass ensures a high definition visual experience. Featuring 30 layers of polarizing film on both sides of the filter, and minimum light reflectance of less than 0.1%, the multi resistant coated CPL filter blocks out ultraviolet rays ranging from 300nm to 380nm to reduce flare and ghosting while ensuring accurate color rendition.
【30 Layers of Multi Resistant Coatings】 The multi resistant coatings boast four outstanding properties: water repellent, oleophobic, anti static, and scratch resistant to make this filter easy to clean with just one wipe, smooth and will not gather dust. Built to withstand extreme wind, salt water, dust and other abrasive conditions and elements.
【Ultra Slim Frame & Smooth Rotation】 The 5.9mm ultra slim frame is engineered with magnalium alloy to deliver extraordinary durability for years of use, and the 3.8mm front bezel effectively avoids vignettes on wide angle lenses. Black anodized threads with advanced precision treatment enable effortless installation, and straight knurls ensure smooth rotation for achieving the best effects.

Pros & Cons
👍 Pros
- 30 layers of multi-resistant nano coating provide water-repellent, oleophobic, anti-static, and scratch-resistant protection
- HD optical glass with less than 0.1% light reflectance minimizes flare and ghosting
- Ultra-slim 5.9mm magnalium alloy frame with 3.8mm front bezel avoids vignetting on wide-angle lenses
- Straight-knurled edge enables smooth, precise rotation for dialing in the polarizing effect
- Includes a protective carrying case and cleaning cloth
👎 Cons
- Reduces light transmission by approximately 1-2 stops, requiring exposure compensation in dim conditions
- 55mm thread size limits compatibility to lenses with that specific filter diameter
- Polarizing effect is difficult to preview accurately on cameras with smaller or lower-resolution electronic viewfinders
- The polarizing effect is uneven on ultra-wide lenses, potentially creating inconsistent sky darkening
- No step-up ring included for adapting to lenses with larger filter threads
Frequently Asked Questions
Will this 55mm CPL filter cause vignetting on wide-angle lenses?
The Neewer NW Series S CPL has a 3.8mm front bezel specifically designed to minimize vignetting on wide-angle lenses. The ultra-slim 5.9mm total frame height further reduces the risk of dark corners at wider focal lengths.
How do I adjust the polarizing effect on this filter?
Rotate the front ring of the filter while looking through your camera's viewfinder or at the live view screen. The polarizing effect changes as you turn — rotate until reflections are reduced or sky contrast reaches your desired level. The straight-knurled edge is designed for smooth, precise rotation.
Does this CPL filter reduce the amount of light entering the lens?
Yes, like all circular polarizers, this filter reduces light transmission by approximately 1 to 2 stops. You may need to compensate with a slower shutter speed, wider aperture, or higher ISO in lower light situations.
Can I stack this filter with other filters like a UV or ND filter?
While the ultra-slim frame is designed to reduce vignetting, stacking multiple filters increases the total profile height and raises the risk of vignetting, especially on wide-angle lenses. Single-filter use produces the cleanest results.
How should I clean this filter?
The 30-layer multi-resistant coating is water-repellent, oleophobic, anti-static, and scratch-resistant, so fingerprints and dust wipe away easily with the included cleaning cloth. Avoid abrasive materials or harsh solvents.
