Polarising camera filter Walimex 19952

The Walimex polarising camera filter (model 19952) is a 58 mm multi-coated glass filter designed to reduce reflections and increase colour saturation for photography. It is intended primarily for landscape use, where it deepens blues in the sky, intensifies greens in foliage and reduces disruptive reflections on water or glass. The filter is mounted in a precision-manufactured metal ring and supplied with a protective cover that shields the glass from UV exposure during storage.

Advantages

The multi-coated glass construction improves light transmission while reducing stray reflections and ghosting. The circular polariser suppresses surface reflections and mirror-like highlights on non-metallic surfaces, increasing contrast and perceived colour depth. The rotatable metal mount operates smoothly and allows precise adjustment of the polarising effect. A protective cover protects the filter when not in use, helping to extend its service life.

Suitable for

• Landscape photography
• Outdoor scenes with sky and foliage
• Shooting near water, glass or reflective surfaces
• General use when increased colour saturation and contrast are desired

How to use

Screw the 58 mm polarising filter onto the camera lens thread or use appropriate step-up/down rings if needed. Rotate the front element while observing the scene through the viewfinder or live view until reflections are reduced and the desired colour saturation and contrast are achieved. For maximum effect on skies, shoot at a 90-degree angle to the sun. Store the filter in its protective cover when not in use to minimise UV exposure and physical damage.

Usage recommendations

Use the polarising filter when photographing landscapes, water surfaces or glass to reduce reflections and enhance colours. Avoid using it with wide-angle lenses at very close distances where uneven polarisation may appear. Combine with neutral density filters only if filter threads and optical stacking allow.
