Camera lens polarising filter Rollei 26247 — 77 mm, circular polariser, 1 pc

Rollei 26247 is a 77 mm circular polarising (CPL) camera lens filter in a black/transparent finish supplied as a single unit. The filter reduces reflections and glare from non-metallic surfaces, increases colour saturation and contrast in skies and foliage, and allows the photographer to control polarisation effects directly by rotating the filter ring. Designed for lenses with a 77 mm filter thread, this CPL is intended for landscape, outdoor and product photography where control over reflections and richer colour rendition is required.

Advantages

The filter glass is highly tempered to provide neutral transmission with minimal optical distortion, while a durable Luminance coating resists oil, dirt and water and keeps reflections low. A robust metal filter ring offers reliable mechanical stability and smooth rotation for precise adjustment of the polarising effect. The combination of tough glass and a stable ring improves field reliability and preserves colour fidelity across different lighting conditions.

Suitable for

• Landscape photography to deepen blue skies and enhance foliage
• Outdoor and travel photography where reflections from water or glass are present
• Product and still-life photography to reduce unwanted surface reflections
• Architectural exterior shots where windows or wet surfaces cause glare

Key specifications

• Glass characteristics: highly tempered, colour-neutral transmission, minimal distortion
• Coating: low-reflection, scratch- and oil-resistant Luminance coating
• Mechanical: durable, temperature-stable metal filter ring with smooth rotation for angle adjustment
• Pack quantity: 1 piece

How to use

Attach the filter to the camera lens by screwing it onto the 77 mm filter thread until it is secure but not overtightened. Compose the shot and then rotate the filter ring while observing the viewfinder or live view to set the desired level of polarisation. Maximum effect is achieved at approximately 90 degrees to the sun; adjust rotation to increase or decrease reflection suppression and colour saturation. When not in use, store the filter in its protective case to avoid scratches.

Usage recommendations

Use the circular polariser when shooting skies, foliage, bodies of water or glass surfaces to reduce reflections and boost colour saturation. Avoid using a CPL with ultra-wide-angle lenses when the sky contrast may become uneven; check the effect across the frame and reduce polarisation if vignetting of the sky is visible. Clean the coated glass with a soft microfiber cloth and lens cleaner to maintain optical performance.
