A 58 mm circular polariser with a rotating mount that cuts reflections from water, glass and paint while boosting colour saturation by up to 1.5 stops

  • Boosts colour saturation with high-quality MRC polarizer glass
  • Rotating mount lets you dial in the exact polarisation effect
  • Cuts reflections on water, glass and paint for clearer views
  • Circular design works with TTL metering and autofocus on modern cameras
  • Maximum polarisation at 90° to the sun, ideal for landscapes

Essential landscape polarizer

The B + W 58mm Basic Circular Polarizer MRC filter enhances colour saturation and deepens blue skies for both analogue and digital photography. Its rotating mount lets you see the polarisation effect change in real time through the viewfinder or on the monitor. The filter cuts reflections from non-metallic surfaces such as water, glass and glossy paint to reveal hidden detail. Maximum effect occurs at a 90-degree angle to the sun.

Thread size and exposure check

Verify that your lens accepts a 58mm thread before ordering. The circular design works with TTL metering and autofocus systems on virtually all modern cameras. A multiplying factor of 2 to 3 equals roughly 1 to 1.5 f-stops of light loss, so adjust shutter speed or aperture accordingly. No adapter rings or step-up rings are mentioned in the specifications.

Consistent outdoor performance

Under sustained bright conditions the filter maintains its polarising efficiency without colour shift. The Multi-Resistant Coating resists flare and ghosting during long sessions. The rotating mechanism stays smooth when adjusted repeatedly between shots. The glass and mount construction is built for regular field use in landscape work.

Questions about this item

Does the 58mm Basic Circular Polarizer MRC Filter come with a protective case or pouch, or must one be purchased separately?

The product facts list only the filter itself; no case, pouch or additional accessories are mentioned, so any protective storage would need to be bought separately.

What does the multiplying factor of 2 to 3 mean for exposure when using this 58mm polarizer?

A factor of 2 to 3 equals roughly 1 to 1.5 f-stops of light loss, so you will need to open the aperture, slow the shutter or raise ISO by that amount compared with shooting without the filter.

How do I get the strongest polarization effect with this 58mm filter when photographing landscapes?

Maximum effect occurs when the camera points about 90 degrees away from the sun; rotate the filter mount while watching the viewfinder or monitor until reflections on water, glass or foliage are minimised.
