Tiffen 62POL 62mm Linear Polarizer Filter

The Tiffen 62mm Linear Polarizer Filter is a purpose-built optical accessory designed to manage reflections and glare in your photography. By filtering out polarized light bouncing off non-metallic surfaces such as water, glass, and foliage, it allows you to capture cleaner, more saturated images straight out of the camera. Landscape photographers will appreciate how it deepens blue skies and enhances the contrast between clouds and sky, while also cutting through atmospheric haze in distant scenes. The rotating mount lets you dial in exactly the amount of polarization you need for each shot.

Constructed using Tiffen's ColorCore technology, the filter laminate is sandwiched between two layers of optical glass for consistent color fidelity and long-term durability. At 62mm, it fits a common lens thread size found across many mid-range zoom and prime lenses. It is important to note that this is a linear polarizer rather than a circular one, which means it is ideally suited for use with manual focus cameras or older autofocus systems. Photographers using modern DSLRs or mirrorless bodies with phase-detection autofocus should consider whether a circular polarizer would be more appropriate for their setup to avoid potential metering and focus inaccuracies.
