Urth 52mm Magnetic CPL Filter Pro

Urth 52mm Magnetic CPL Filter Pro | Control glare and reflections

Reflections on glass or a shiny surface can distract from the subject you meant to photograph. The Urth 52mm Magnetic CPL Filter Pro is a circular polarising filter, made to reduce reflected glare and help you manage the look of skies and reflective scenes. It suits photographers who often shoot through windows, work around water, or want more control over reflections in bright outdoor light. A CPL filter’s effect changes as you turn it, so you can adjust how much reflection remains rather than simply accepting the scene as it appears. That makes it particularly useful when a reflection is hiding detail, or when glare is washing colour out of a subject. It won’t remove every reflection, and the result depends on the light and your angle to it. For those situations, though, it gives you a direct way to shape what the lens records.

Getting the most from a polariser

Look through the viewfinder or at the screen while turning the filter, and stop when the balance looks right. For a blue sky, the polarising effect is strongest when you’re shooting roughly at a right angle to the sun. Pointing in a different direction can give a subtler result; across a very wide view, the sky may also darken unevenly. For reflective subjects, adjust the filter while framing so you can choose how much of the surface you want to see through.
