The Hoya 55mm NXT Plus Circular Polarizer Filter helps to reduce reflections and glare by filtering out light that has become polarized due to reflection from a non-metallic surface. It reduces haze in landscapes and improves color and tonal saturation. The filter arranges and filters directionally polarized light perpendicularly to reflected light, allowing for the absorption of much of this light. This results in a noticeable reduction of glare and reflections from non-metallic surfaces and an increase in the saturation of skies and foliage.
