Its circular polarizing design is suitable for modern autofocus and TTL-metering camera systems, while the rotating front ring allows the strength of the polarization effect to be adjusted according to the scene. With a 55 mm screw-in thread, multicoated optical glass and a slim-profile aluminium frame, it is particularly useful for landscape, travel, nature and outdoor photography.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"Nikon 55mm Circular Polarizing Filter II NIACCPLII55\" src=\"https:\/\/nij.nikon.com\/cms\/products\/accessory\/lensfilter\/2_55mm\/img\/index\/product_01.jpg\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e55 mm circular polarizing filter for compatible camera lenses.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eReduces reflections and glare from water, glass and other non-metallic surfaces.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eHelps produce deeper blue skies and improved cloud definition in outdoor photographs.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eCan improve colour saturation and contrast in landscape and nature photography.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eRotating filter ring allows the polarization effect to be adjusted while composing the image.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eCircular polarizing design is suitable for autofocus and TTL-metering camera systems.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eMulticoated optical glass helps minimise unwanted flare and reflections.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eSlim filter-ring design helps reduce the potential for vignetting when used with compatible wide-angle lenses.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eAluminium filter ring provides a durable, lightweight mounting structure.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e55 mm front accessory thread allows a compatible lens cap or accessory to be fitted to the front of the filter.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eIncludes a protective storage case for safe transport when the filter is not in use.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eReduce Reflections and Glare\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe primary purpose of the Nikon Circular Polarizing Filter II is to control reflections from non-metallic surfaces. Reflections from water, windows, glass displays, glossy plastics and similar surfaces can be substantially reduced by rotating the filter until the desired effect is achieved.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis can make it easier to photograph subjects beneath the surface of water or behind glass while reducing distracting glare that would otherwise obscure details.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDeeper Blue Skies and Improved Contrast\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA circular polarizing filter can reduce polarized light reflected by moisture and small particles in the atmosphere. When used at an appropriate angle to the sun, this can make blue skies appear deeper and improve the separation between clouds and the surrounding sky.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe result can be richer-looking landscape photographs with improved colour saturation and contrast without relying entirely on digital post-processing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAdjustable Polarizing Effect\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe front section of the filter rotates independently after the filter has been screwed onto the lens. This allows the photographer to look through the camera viewfinder or rear display while rotating the filter until the required amount of reflection reduction or colour enhancement is achieved.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe strength of the polarizing effect depends on the direction of the light and the angle between the camera, subject and light source, so results will vary according to the shooting environment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDesigned for Autofocus Camera Systems\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Circular Polarizing Filter II uses a circular rather than linear polarizing design. Nikon recommends circular polarizing filters for compatible autofocus cameras and camera systems that use beam splitters in the autofocus or TTL metering path.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis allows photographers to obtain the benefits of polarization while maintaining normal autofocus and exposure-metering operation on compatible equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eMulticoated Optical Glass\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe filter uses multicoated optical glass to help reduce unwanted reflections and flare within the optical path. This supports clearer images with good contrast while maintaining the optical performance expected from a genuine Nikon lens accessory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSlim Filter Ring\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe low-profile filter-ring design reduces the distance that the filter extends beyond the front of the lens. This helps lower the risk of the filter frame appearing in the corners of images when used with compatible wider-angle lenses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe ring is manufactured from aluminium and incorporates a textured rotating section that provides grip when adjusting the polarizing effect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e55 mm Screw-In Mount\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe filter screws directly into compatible lenses with a 55 mm front filter thread. Lens compatibility is determined by the filter-thread diameter rather than the camera body, so users should confirm that their lens is marked with a 55 mm filter size before purchase.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe filter also provides a 55 mm front accessory thread, allowing a compatible front lens cap or suitable accessory to be attached while the filter remains installed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIdeal for Landscape and Outdoor Photography\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe ability to control reflections, deepen blue skies and improve apparent colour saturation makes a circular polarizer particularly useful for landscape, travel and nature photography. It can also be beneficial when photographing vehicles, buildings, shop windows and other scenes containing reflective non-metallic surfaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eExposure Considerations\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eLike other polarizing filters, the Nikon Circular Polarizing Filter II reduces the amount of light reaching the camera sensor. The 55 mm version is specified with approximately 1.2 to 1.5 stops of exposure reduction, so the camera may compensate by using a slower shutter speed, wider aperture or higher ISO setting depending on the selected exposure mode.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications:\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\t\u003cthead\u003e\n\t\t\u003ctr\u003e\n\t\t\t\u003cth
