PolarPro QuartzLine ND16 (4 Stop) / Polarization Filter 77mm

PolarPro QuartzLine ND16 (4 Stop) Polarization Filter 77mm – Control exposure and reduce reflections

The PolarPro QuartzLine ND16 (4 Stop) with Polarization combines neutral density and polarizing functions in a single 77mm filter. It reduces exposure by four stops while also cutting reflections and increasing color vibrancy. Filmmakers and photographers use this filter to manage light, control glare, and preserve image clarity in outdoor and high-contrast situations.

How this filter helps your shooting

Use the ND and polarization together to slow shutter speed or reduce aperture without overexposing your image. At the same time, the polarizing element minimizes reflections from water, glass, and foliage. Consequently, you gain both exposure control and cleaner, more saturated colors in one tool.

Key features and benefits

• ND with Polarization: Combines neutral density and polarizing functions to lower light intake and reduce glare from reflective surfaces like water, glass, and foliage, helping colors to appear more vibrant and contrast to improve.
• Pure Fused Quartz Glass: Crafted from 99.9% pure fused quartz to deliver optical clarity and maintain accurate color rendition for both stills and motion capture.
• Multi-Coated for Optimal Performance: Advanced multi-coating reduces lens flare, ghosting, and unwanted reflections, supporting consistent image quality even in challenging lighting.
• Precise Neutral Density Control: ND16 (4 Stop) strength reduces exposure by four stops. Additionally, the QuartzLine series is available in a range of ND strengths to match different lighting and creative needs.
• Brass Frame for Durability: The aerospace-grade brass frame provides long-term durability and reliable thread performance, while the knurled edge allows easy attachment and removal in a variety of shooting environments.
• Scratch, Water, and Oil Resistant: The filter features a scratch-resistant coating plus hydrophobic and oleophobic layers that repel water, oil, and fingerprints, making it well suited for outdoor use.
• Protective Case Included: The filter ships with a custom protective case for safe transport and storage to help keep the filter in clean condition when not in use.

Practical uses

Apply this filter when shooting vibrant landscapes, water scenes, or any high-contrast environment where you need both exposure control and reduced surface reflections. It suits workflows for both video and still photography and supports creative control while preserving image sharpness.
