Moose Peterson of Wildlife Research Photography, are a combination of a polarizer and an 81A warming filter. For many years, polarizers have been used to remove reflections from non-metallic surfaces such as water and glass as well as being used to darken blue skies to increase contrast in scenic photography. When using a camera with a split beam metering system (a metering system that employs a polarized half mirror) which is most of today's auto focus camera bodies, traditional linear polarizers will cause exposure errors due to their light absorption properties. Circular polarizers yield the same optical effect while not causing exposure problems with modern metering systems A side effect of both linear and circular polarizes is they "cool down" or make the over-all color balance of a scene slightly bluish. The addition of the 81A glass corrects the color temperature, bringing the scene back to the original 5500K for daylight film's color balance. The 81A glass creates a much more pleasing and warm color balance to the entire scene while the circular polarizer increases color contrast and reduces the effect of atmospheric haze.

Overall a great filter that adds a wonderful touch of natural warmth. Does it's job at cutting the glare. My only complaint is that on my wide angle lens (15-35mm), it does cause way too much vingetting that has been difficult to remove in post. On my 17mm, it works just fine, but beware of using this on wider lenses.

Would not go out without this filter!Makes everything pop in landscape photography. I first learned about it over in Easter Sierra from Galen Rowell years ago!

I am a big fan of the Moose filters. I have 1 on every lens I own. For landscape and portraits the golden hue is very nice

Amazon has changed vendors as the "new" filter I received wasn't new. It cleaned-up OK and I got a price-break from the vendor.

I do a lot of landscape photography right in the heart of Texas. The big sky usually looks washed out. I did a lot of before and after photos with this filter and I love it. Daylight skies have color and better contrast. Sunrise and sunset much richer in color. It does take a few F stops away but well worth it especially if you have a fast lens.

My favorite filter and still use it even shooting digital. A very warm effect with polarization in every size you need.

This filter is a "must have" for outdoor/landscape photography. It "warms" the image while taking out the haze of the sky. It saves much Photoshop time.
