  • Deepens blue skies and boosts foliage colour saturation
  • 72 mm thread fits compatible lenses directly
  • Thin frame design cuts vignetting on wide angles
  • Lightweight compact build keeps kit bag light

Ideal entry polarizer for 72mm lenses

The 72mm Alpha II Circular Polarizer is an entry-level filter built for photographers starting to explore polarization. It uses Hoya clear glass in a thin frame designed to reduce vignetting on wide-angle lenses. The rotatable front element lets you dial in the exact polarization angle for each scene.

Threads on 72mm filter threads

The filter screws directly onto any lens with a 72mm front thread, adding minimal thickness thanks to its slim profile. This keeps the optical path short and avoids stacking issues with lens caps or hoods. The lightweight construction keeps the overall kit bag light for day-long shoots.

Suits beginners wanting basic polarization

Photographers who need multi-coated surfaces, water-repellent top layers or hardened glass should look at higher-spec filters. The Alpha II omits those premium coatings, so it is not for users who demand maximum flare resistance or extreme durability in harsh weather.

  • Reduces reflections on water and glass with circular polarizer

Questions about this item

How much vignetting can I expect from the 72mm frame when shooting wide open?

The thin frame design is built to reduce vignetting, especially on wide-angle lenses, so corner darkening stays minimal even at wider apertures.

Does the filter heat up or draw power during long outdoor sessions?

It is a passive glass filter with no electronics, so it generates no heat and needs no power at all.

What thread size must my lens already have for this filter to attach?

Your lens needs a 72mm front thread; the filter screws directly onto that thread with no adapter required.
