Circular polarising camera filter B+W MASTER HTC-Pol 77 mm

The B+W MASTER HTC-Pol Circular polarising camera filter (77 mm) increases color saturation and contrast by reducing reflections and glare. Designed for both analog and digital photography, this polarizer helps produce deeper blues in skies and richer greens in foliage. The maximum polarization effect occurs when shooting landscapes at a roughly 90° angle to the sun; for an even result across the frame, avoid focal lengths shorter than 28 mm (35 mm equivalent). The included Multi Resistant Coating (MRC) improves durability and makes cleaning easier.

Advantages

The B+W MASTER HTC-Pol reduces unwanted reflections and suppresses glare on non‑metallic surfaces, improving color purity and saturation. Its circular polarising design is compatible with modern autofocus and metering systems. The MRC surface treatment enhances scratch and dirt resistance and simplifies maintenance.

Suitable for

• Landscape photography to deepen sky blues and enhance foliage
• Outdoor photography with water, glass or wet surfaces to reduce reflections
• Architectural and travel photography where contrast and color fidelity matter

How to use

Attach the filter to a 77 mm lens thread and rotate the outer ring while viewing the scene through the viewfinder or live view to adjust the degree of polarization. For strongest sky darkening and color saturation in landscapes, position the camera so the subject is approximately at right angles (90°) to the sun. If possible, use focal lengths of 28 mm or longer (35 mm equivalent) to maintain an even polarization across the frame. Adjust exposure as needed, since a polarizer may reduce light transmission.

Usage recommendations

Use the polarizer primarily for outdoor scenes with skies, foliage, water or glass. Avoid overusing the filter at wide angles where polarization varies across the sky, and keep the MRC-coated surfaces clean with a microfiber cloth to maintain optical performance.
