Hi everyone,

Although I have quite a few filters which I rarely use, mostly ND and CPL filters from different manufacturers, I thought I’d give this filter a try. For some time I’ve been a fan of Marumi filters which I think are well built and very good value for money. Until recently I didn’t know that Marumi have been making filters for sixty or so years in Japan so they should know a thing or two about things. I read a lot about their Super DHG polariser which has got some very favourable reviews across the board and I thought I’d give one a try. I used it for the first time yesterday on my trip to West Wittering and I think that it’s one of the best, quite possibly the best CPL filter, that I’ve tried. I cannot detect any colour shift apart from the obvious increased saturation of warm tones. One reason that I don’t very often use any filter that will reduce the light hitting the sensor is because I shoot handheld HDR and don’t want to introduce longer shutter speeds. This one costs one approximately 1 1/2 stops, but on a nice sunny 🙂 but deceptively cold 😞 day like yesterday that’s not too much of an issue. Lighting conditions permitting I think that I’ll definitely be shooting more with this filter.

As always, my opinions, not sponsored in any way and paid for out of my own pocket.

Kind regards

Leigh

PS. You know that I’m just shooting with my 20mm Lumix lens. None of the images I’ve posted using this lens have been cropped in post, they’re framed exactly as taken, a very versatile focal length.
