55mm Circular Polarizer for Outdoor Photography

The Tiffen 55CP is a 55mm circular polarizer designed for general outdoor photography. It produces deeper skies and minimises reflections in both black and white and colour images. The filter rotates to let the photographer adjust the polarisation effect for each scene.

Suited for photographers wanting richer skies

This filter fits photographers who shoot landscapes, architecture or water scenes and need to cut glare from non-metallic surfaces. It is not for lenses with a different thread diameter, nor for shooters who require a neutral density effect or infrared control.

The 55mm thread size decides compatibility

Only lenses with a 55mm front thread can accept this filter without a step-up or step-down ring. If the lens barrel shows another diameter, the filter will not mount directly and an adapter ring becomes necessary.

Questions about this item

Should I pick the 55mm version or a different diameter for my lens?

Choose the 55mm model when your lens barrel or filter thread is marked 55mm; other diameters will not fit.

What does the circular polarizer actually do to my photos?

It deepens blue skies and cuts glare from non-metallic surfaces such as water or glass, and you rotate the ring to tune the effect.

Is the 55mm thread the only mount standard on this filter?

Yes, it uses a standard 55mm front thread so it screws directly onto any lens with a matching 55mm filter size.
