PolarPro Arctic CP Benjamin Hardman 77mm – 45% light transmission for low light and cold environments

PolarPro Arctic CP Benjamin Hardman 77mm is an innovative polarizing filter specifically developed in collaboration with renowned photographer Benjamin Hardman. It has been tested under extreme conditions in Greenland and is designed to withstand cold and challenging lighting conditions. This filter is perfect for photographers and filmmakers who need to optimize their image quality in icy environments and who are looking for a filter that offers both increased light transmission and natural color reproduction.

Main Features and Benefits

• 45% light transmission – This filter allows more light to pass through, making your images half a stop brighter than with standard polarizing filters. Thanks to this, you can achieve better exposure even in low light or overcast weather without having to adjust your exposure strategy.
• Chroma Polarization Technology – This advanced technology ensures that colors remain accurate and true to life without any unwanted color shifts, even when polarizing away reflections and glare.
• 110° short-throw rotation – With a short-throw rotation, you can adjust the filter quickly and precisely. You can reach the optimal polarization point up to five times faster than with traditional filters, allowing you to work more efficiently.
• Glove-safe grip – The enlarged and textured ring makes it easier to handle the filter even when wearing gloves, which is a significant advantage when working in cold conditions.
• Thin, hood-compatible frame – The low-profile design of the frame ensures that the filter is compatible with most lens hoods, allowing you to use it without blocking your field of view or interfering with other accessories.
• Available sizes – The Arctic CP filter is offered in several sizes, including 49mm, 67mm, 77mm, 82mm, 86mm, 95mm, as well as Helix MagLock mount, providing flexible options for different lenses and mounting systems.

Applications and Handling

This polarizing filter is ideal when working in cold, overcast, or low-light conditions where glare and reflections can reduce image clarity. Since it has been tested under real-world conditions in Greenland, the filter has special design features tailored for photographers working in freezing temperatures. The combination of higher light transmission and quick short-throw rotation allows you to quickly adapt to changes in light and reflective surfaces, which is crucial for capturing perfect images in challenging environments.
