PolarPro Arctic CP Filter
If you’re looking for a solid polarizer filter, but don’t want it to harsh your vibes and darken your shots too much, then this new Arctic CP Filter from PolarPro might be a nice option to consider.
Released as a part of the company’s Benjamin Hardman series, a photographer known for shooting in harsh, low-light environments of the Arctic, this new polarizer offers bright support. Let’s take a look at the PolarPro Arctic CP Filter and explore what it has to offer.
PolarPro Arctic CP Filter
Built for the extremes of both bright and dark and hot and cold, the PolarPro Arctic CP Filter was designed in collaboration with photographer Benjamin Hardman. Hardman needed a polarizer that could pull every last bit of light when shooting in the harsh, low‑light environments of the Arctic, and this is what he developed with PolarPro.
The PolarPro Arctic CP Filter features a unique 45% light transmission, which promises to offer about a half stop brighter than traditional polarizers. This extra half-stop should help ensure that shooters will be able to capture more detail in every frame.
From glaciers and icebergs to Arctic wildlife, the Arctic CP should be able to deliver some exceptional color fidelity, contrast, and clarity in the toughest conditions. The new slim frame design is also compatible with lens hoods, ensuring seamless use with your full setup.
