Circular Polarizer Filter walimex Pro Pol Zirkular Slim Super DMC 72mm

The Circular Polarizer Filter walimex Pro Pol Zirkular Slim Super DMC 72mm reduces reflections from non-metallic surfaces and increases color saturation by selectively blocking polarized light. Designed with a slim profile for lenses with a 72mm front thread, this circular polarizer rotates smoothly to adjust the amount of polarization, improving contrast, deepening blue skies and controlling glare while minimizing vignetting on wide-angle optics. The Super DMC multi-coating helps preserve image sharpness and reduces ghosting and flare in challenging lighting conditions.

Advantages

The slim design reduces the risk of mechanical vignetting on wide-angle lenses and allows use with lens hoods or stacked filters. Smooth rotational control makes it easy to fine-tune polarization strength for different shooting angles and light conditions. Multi-coated glass improves light transmission, reduces reflections on the filter surface and helps maintain accurate color reproduction. The circular polarizer is suitable for automatic and modern autofocus systems that require a circular element.

Suitable for

• Landscape photography to increase sky contrast and color saturation
• Outdoor and travel photography to reduce glare from water and foliage
• Architectural and city photography to control reflections on glass and building surfaces
• Wide-angle lens work where a slim filter profile helps avoid vignetting

Key specifications

• Filter type: circular polarizer
• Thread size: 72 mm front thread
• Profile: slim / low profile to reduce vignetting
• Coating: Super DMC multi-coating for reduced flare and improved transmission
• Mount: rotatable ring for adjustable polarization
• Glass: optical glass designed for photographic use

How to use

Screw the filter onto the lens front thread until it is secure but not overtightened. Point the camera toward the scene and rotate the filter ring while observing the viewfinder or live view until the desired reduction of reflections and the preferred level of sky contrast is achieved. For maximum effect, position the camera at approximately a 90-degree angle to the sun. When stacking filters, check for vignetting and avoid excessive tightening to prevent damage to filter threads.

Usage recommendations

Keep the filter clean and store it in a protective case when not in use. Clean with a soft brush or microfiber cloth and suitable lens cleaning fluid to avoid scratching the coating. Use the slim profile with wide-angle lenses to minimize vignetting and consider removing the polarizer for flash photography or scenes where polarization reduces desired reflections.
