Circular Polarizer Filter
The Century Polarizer reduces glare and unwanted reflections, saturates colors, deepens blue skies, improves contrast, and penetrates haze. Polarizers are commonly used to control glare on water and to allow the camera to see below the surface. They are also used to reduce glare on car bumpers and to control reflections on plate-glass windows.

ND .6 Soft Edge Graduated Filter
Employs a surface that is 50% clear and 50% with a neutral density of 0.6. The shift from clear to ND is achieved with a SOFT EDGE (SE) transition line. The ND .6 Soft Edge Graduated Filter balances exposure within a scene – for example, the exposure of sky and earth in a landscape, avoiding overexposed blank white skies.

Neutral Density .9 Filter
For the best handling of exposure. The ND .9 Solid Filter has a Neutral Density of 0.9 (3 stops), which reduces transmission by 87.5%. A common use for this filter is to allow the use of larger apertures, reducing depth of field, to allow selective focus and rack focus.
