PL (Linear Polarising) and PL-CIR (Circular Polarising) filters deliver the same visual effect, but it is essential to select the correct type for your camera. They help eliminate unwanted reflections from non-metallic surfaces such as water and glass, while also enhancing colour saturation, improving clarity and increasing contrast.

This makes them especially effective for boosting the contrast and saturation of blue skies and white clouds. HOYA polarising filters do not alter the overall colour balance of your image.
