HOYACatalog-Tokina09 09.5.27 1:04 PM GENERAL FILTERS Page 23 for Film & Digital How to select the correct Polarizing Filter Two kinds of polarizing filters are the PL (Linear Polarizing) and PL-CIR (Circular Polarizing) filters which have the same effect of reducing glare, however, there are differences in the way each works in combination with your specific camera so it is important to research and choose the correct version of filter for your camera.
HOYACatalog-Tokina09 09.5.27 for Film & Digital 1:05 PM Page 24 GENERAL FILTERS How to use a polarizing filter PL filters achieve their greatest effect of eliminating glare when used at a 30-40 degree angle to a reflective surface (like glass or water). At midday when the sun is directly overhead, or at a 90 degree angle, the filter will have the least effect. These effects are easily visible by rotating the filter and looking through the viewfinder of the camera.

Hoya manufactures a full line of filters in both standard and Hoya multi-coated. The difference between Hoya’s standard line and that of other manufacturers is that Hoya standard filters have a layer of anti-reflective coating bonded to each surface of the glass.

Consisting of a Skylight, 1B, UV (0), ND 2X, ND4X, and a low profile Circular Polarizer, this line of filters has a 5+1 layering system on each side of the glass: 5 layers of anti-reflective coating and a transparent easy-clean top coat.
