Zeiss T* Polarizing Filter Circular 86mm – Reduces Reflections and Boosts Color Saturation

For photos that become revelations.

Discover new photographic insights with the Zeiss T* Polarizing Filter Circular 86mm. The POL filter uses Carl Zeiss T* anti-reflective coating to reduce reflections on non-metallic surfaces, while delivering a clearer definition of color and contrast. You can adjust the effect precisely to suit the scene.

Key features

• Precision: Rotary mount to set the filter effect. Light reduction: 1.5–2 EV.
• Quality: High-quality glass featuring Carl Zeiss T* anti-reflective coating.
• Flexibility: High-fit accuracy for fast filter change. The filter can be used with a lens shade.
• Compatibility: Ideal for ZEISS lenses but can be used with non-ZEISS lenses.
• Effect: Minimizes light reflections on non-metallic surfaces and increases the color saturation of long-distance shots.

How it helps your photography

The polarizing effect removes distracting reflections from surfaces such as glass, water, or foliage, so you capture more natural colors. In addition, the T* anti-reflective coating improves contrast and clarity. By rotating the filter you control the strength of the polarization, and the specified light reduction (1.5–2 EV) helps you anticipate exposure changes.

Practical use and handling

The filter’s rotary mount gives you fine control over the polarizing effect during a shoot. Because it offers high-fit accuracy, you can swap filters quickly when conditions change. You can also leave it attached while using a lens shade, which helps you maintain protection and reduce stray light.
