Tiffen 62CP 62mm Circular Polarizer camera filter

62 mm circular polariser for outdoor photography

This Tiffen 62CP filter threads onto 62 mm lens fronts and cuts polarised glare from skies, water and glass. It deepens blue skies and restores colour saturation that reflected light washes out. The circular design works with beam-splitting metering in autofocus SLR cameras. Photographers who need polarisation control on this thread size will find it fits the role.

Polarisation effect varies

Maximum sky darkening occurs at ninety degrees to the sun, so the filter cannot deepen every part of a wide frame equally. Rotating the front ring changes the effect, but extreme wide-angle lenses may show uneven polarisation across the image. The filter does not remove reflections from metallic surfaces, only non-metallic ones such as water and windows. Users who need uniform polarisation across ultra-wide views should test before committing.

Threads directly onto 62 mm filter threads

Installation is a simple screw-on action; no tools or adapters are required when the lens matches the 62 mm size. Over-tightening can bind the rotating polariser ring, making adjustment stiff or impossible. Vignetting may appear on wide-angle lenses if the filter frame is thick, so check corner coverage after fitting. Clean with a microfibre cloth to avoid coating scratches.
