PolarPro Benjamin Hardman Arctic CP Helix MagLock Filter
Built for the extremes. The Arctic CP Filter was designed in collaboration with photographer Benjamin Hardman, who needed a polarizer that could pull every last bit of light when shooting in the harsh, low-light environments of the Arctic. Featuring a unique 45% light transmission, about a half stop brighter than traditional polarizers, this filter ensures you capture more detail in every frame. From glaciers and icebergs to Arctic wildlife, the Arctic CP delivers exceptional color fidelity, contrast, and clarity in the toughest conditions. The new slim frame design is also compatible with lens hoods, ensuring seamless use with your full setup.
