Circular Polarising Camera Filter 46mm by Avenger (Manfrotto Essential, I790S)

The Circular Polarising Camera Filter 46mm by Avenger (Manfrotto Essential, I790S) is a single-piece circular polariser designed for lenses with a 46 mm filter thread. It reduces reflections and glare from non-metallic surfaces, enhances sky contrast and colour saturation, and helps improve clarity in outdoor, travel, landscape and architectural photography. The filter features a multilayer coating that minimises unwanted reflections while maintaining balanced light transmission and colour sharpness.

Advantages

This Avenger (Manfrotto Essential) circular polariser increases contrast and colour saturation, particularly in skies and foliage, while suppressing distracting reflections from water, glass and other non-metallic surfaces. The multilayer coating contributes to improved light transmission and reduced internal reflections. The filter surface is water-repellent, scratch-resistant and oil-resistant, with antistatic properties to reduce dust adhesion. A reusable protective case is included for secure transport and storage.

Suitable for

• Outdoor and landscape photography to enhance sky contrast and colour
• Travel photography where glare reduction is required
• Architectural and real-estate photography to minimise reflections on glass
• Nature and wildlife scenes involving water or wet surfaces

How to use

Screw the filter onto the front of any lens with a 46 mm filter thread until it is secure but not overtightened. Rotate the outer ring of the circular polariser while viewing the scene through the viewfinder or on the camera screen to adjust the degree of polarization and achieve the desired reduction of reflections and increase in contrast. Use the filter at moderate wide-angle to telephoto focal lengths; be aware that the polarising effect varies with the angle between the camera, the sun and the subject. Remove and store the filter in its protective case when not in use.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use the polariser when shooting skies at roughly 90 degrees to the sun, and combine with a tripod for long exposures in landscape work; avoid stacking too many filters to prevent vignetting on wide-angle lenses.
