Polarizing Filters for Filter Holders | Haida C-POL 100 mm & 150 Series

Polarizing Filters for the Filter System

If you use a filter holder, you don't need to attach the polarizing filter to the lens—it's built into the system. Here you'll find Haida's plug-in polarizing filters for the 100-mm and 150-mm systems, which allow you to use polarizing and graduated filters at the same time.

Haida Circular Polarizing Filter 150 x 150 mm This circular polarizing filter (150 x 150 mm) fits the Haida 150 or M15 filter holder and helps reduce reflections and glare by filtering light that is polarized by reflection from a non-metallic surface. Sunlight is partially polarized naturally as it reflects off the electrons in the air molecules, causing the light to disperse into what appears to be haze. A polarizing filter sorts through and filters this linearly polarized light perpendicular to the reflected light, absorbing much of it. This reduces glare and reflections from non-metallic surfaces and increases the saturation of the sky and foliage.The only difference between a circular polarizer and a linear polarizer is that a quarter-wave plate is added to the linear polarizing filter. This quarter-wave plate circularly polarizes the linearly polarized light, allowing the autofocus and exposure functions to be used. Since the light is split and filtered with a linear polarizer, autofocus and exposure accuracy are compromised when using it. When the light is circularly polarized, these functions can be used. The effect is strongest when used at 90° to the sun. All advantages at a glance: For Haida 150 or M15 filter holders (but also fits other 150mm plug-in filter systems) 2.8x filter factor, +1.5 f-stops Helps eliminate reflections and glare Reduces haze in landscapes Better color and tone saturation Uncoated optical glass construction Compatibility: This filter fits Haida 150mm or M15 filter system.

Haida M10 100x100mm Slide-in Polarizing FilterThe Haida M10 system features an optical circular polarizing filter.When the polarizing filter is used alone, the filter holder can be rotated in position until the desired effect is achieved. If the polarizing filter is used in combination with a graduated filter, this cannot lead to the 100% effect, since the polarizing filter must be placed 90° to the sun in each case.In order for the polarizing filter to apply its full function to the photo, the angle to the sun must be taken into account. This means that the filter shows its effect when it is placed 90° to the sun. If the sun is shining into the polarizing filter from the front, it will show little or no effect. If the sun is behind the filter, it also shows its effect only slightly or not at all.The Haida M10 Polarizing Filter is a circular polarizing filter and therefore ideal for use with a DSLR camera.It improves your shots with little effort by eliminating reflections on non-metallic surfaces such as glass, water, paint or plastic. In addition, the high-quality coated polarizing filter intensifies contrast and enhances colors for a deep blue sky or rich plant green.

Polarizing Filter in the Filter Holder

The reason for this solution is simple: A polarizing filter screwed onto the lens and a filter holder get in each other’s way. The holder sits in front of the thread, the polarizing filter sits below it, and then it can no longer be rotated. In this system, the polarizing filter is therefore positioned where it remains accessible.

Both at the same time

The real benefit is the combination. A graduated neutral density filter tones down the bright sky, while the polarizing filter reduces reflections from the water below. Using both together is the classic setup for waterfront landscapes, and you can’t achieve that with filters screwed on separately. In the holder, the filters sit one behind the other, and each remains individually adjustable.

100 mm or 150 mm

The choice depends on your filter holder, not on the filter itself. The 100-mm system covers standard wide-angle and zoom lenses and is the most common standard. You’ll need the 150-mm system for super-wide-angle lenses with a curved front element, where a smaller holder would appear in the frame. When purchasing, the only thing that matters is that the filter fits the width of your holder. You can find more information about the system and compatible holders under Plug-in Filters and Filter Systems and Filter Holders.

When a screw-in filter is sufficient

If you don’t own a filter holder and don’t plan to get one, this system isn’t the right choice for you. A screw-in polarizing filter costs a fraction of the price, weighs next to nothing, and performs exactly the same on its own. The plug-in filter is only worth it if you plan to combine it with other filters.
