Polarizer
Polarizers provide color and contrast enhance-
ment. Reflected light often shows up as whitish
glare that washes out color in an image. A
Polarizer corrects this problem producing deep,
dramatically blue skies. It also removes glare from
non-metallic surfaces, such as windows and water.
Color saturation in general, especially outdoors,
can be improved significantly.

Circular Polarizer
Ultra Pol ®
❍
Essential general-use outdoor color filter.
❍ Produces deeper skies and minimizes
reflections in black and white and color
photography.
❍
Can be rotated to achieve desired effect.
❍ Ultra Pol ® offers maximum polarization.
A Circular Polarizer has the same effect as a
Polarizer and is used on cameras with beam split-
ting metering systems commonly found on auto
focus SLR’s (for most 35mm auto-focus cameras
– see your camera manual).
Use the Tiffen Polarizing filters with the enhanc-
ing filter for more dramatic effects.

your thumb extended at a right angle (90°),
rotate it around the axis of the index finger.
It will point out the band of deepest blue from
horizon to horizon.
