Hasselblad CPL 86mm Filter

Hasselblad CPL 86mm Circular Polarizing Filter

Hasselblad engineered the Hasselblad CPL Filter in the 86mm size to provide elite light control for its most expansive wide-angle and zoom optics. First, this high-performance circular polarizer achieves an industry-leading 99.9% polarization rate. Furthermore, it effectively eliminates harsh glare from water, glass, and atmospheric haze that often compromises large-scale landscapes. As a result, photographers capture deeper saturation and enhanced contrast that software cannot replicate with the same level of optical authenticity.

In addition, the filter meets the uncompromising standards of 100-megapixel sensors. Specifically, it utilizes premium SCHOTT B 270® glass and a high-quality polarizing film to ensure zero loss in resolving power or micro-contrast. Moreover, the advanced AR nanocoating provides a water and oil-resistant surface that remains easy to clean during outdoor shoots. Ultimately, the ultra-slim aluminum-magnesium frame ensures a seamless fit on large-diameter glass without vignetting. Therefore, the Hasselblad CPL Filter stands as an essential creative tool for professionals using flagship wide-angle lenses.

Key Features & Highlights

• 99.9% Polarization Efficiency: This filter removes virtually all surface reflections from non-metallic objects. Accordingly, you can reveal the true colors of autumn foliage or see through the surface of water with crystalline clarity.

• Premium SCHOTT B 270® Optical Glass: Hasselblad selects only the finest materials to maintain the integrity of your lens. Hence, the filter preserves the edge-to-edge sharpness and clarity of your high-performance XCD series glass.

• Vivid Color Saturation: By filtering out polarized light, the filter naturally deepens the blue of the sky and the richness of natural textures. Furthermore, this process enhances the visual “pop” of the scene while maintaining Hasselblad’s legendary color accuracy.

• AR Nanocoating Technology: A sophisticated coating reduces light reflectance to ultra-low levels. Consequently, you avoid the ghosting and internal flare that often occur when using large filters in complex lighting conditions.

• All-Weather Durability: The specialized nanocoating repels water, oil, and dust while providing anti-static and anti-scratch properties. Meanwhile, this allows the filter to cope effortlessly with spray, rain, or dust during architectural and nature shoots.

• Ultra-Slim 86mm Profile: The lightweight frame sits flush with the lens barrel to maintain a streamlined setup. As a result, you can use it on expansive optics like the XCD 20-35E without fear of dark corners or vignetting.

• Large-Diameter Versatility: This filter fits the most substantial glass in the Hasselblad lineup. Specifically, it is the perfect match for the XCD 3,2-4,5/20-35E ultra-wide zoom and other large-aperture optics.

• Precision Rotating Design: The rotatable frame allows you to dial in the exact amount of polarization required for your specific angle of light. Therefore, you maintain full creative control over the intensity of reflections and sky density in real-time.
