Hier matin, j'ai enfin reçu ma commande provenant de Adorama.com. En fait, l'un des items que j'avais commandé est le filtre Polarisant de Nikon, le : Nikon 77mm Circular Polarizer II Thin Ring Multi-Coated Glass Filterd. Filtre que j'aurai besoin lors de mon voyage en Islande, en juin prochain.

Descriptions du Filtre en question:

Description In general, light reflected from water, glass, or other shiny materials is polarized and adversely affects image definition. Circular polarizing filters reduce or eliminate unwanted reflections and increase the overall contrast of subjects in low-contrast situations  Usually, light from the sky is polarized due to reflections and dispersions in the air. Circular polarizing filters cut these reflections, making the sky blueror intensifying colors. Features Much thinner and lighter than conventional models to cut vignetting on Wide Angle lenses Multi Layer coatings on both sides to reduce ghost images and flare 77mm filter thread on front of filter for attaching Lens caps and hood

Ayant lu les commentaires au sujet de ce filtre, je ne crois pas que je pouvais me tromper, considérant que le prix était raisonnable... puisque semble t'il la gamme de prix peut grimper rapidement.

Voici l'un des commentaires:

"For the most part, I have switched my filters to multi-coated to help minimize any possibility of glare. At this point, they're almost all Hoya S-HMC's, although for some larger sizes I've had to go with B&W. While I normally wouldn't specifically buy a Nikon or Canon brand filter, in this case I think the Nikon is the best choice. Many of the better Circular Polarizer which are the normal 5mm filter thickness have no front threads, so attaching a standard lens cap becomes a problem. Others have front threads, but are thicker than 5mm, and that could mean vingnetting. The Nikon is multicoated on both sides, is 5mm thick and has front threads. I have no problem using the standard Nikon lens caps or hoods with this filter. Although I haven't used them, the Hoya Pro 1 filters appear to be similar at 5mm thick with front threads. However, they are considerably more expensive than the Nikon. I have heard rumors that Hoya might be the manufacturer for Nikon's filters, although I cannot find any confirmation of this. They do seem nearly identical to me."

Personnelement, je ne suis pas en mesure de pouvoir donner un commentaire sur la qualité des photos prisent avec ce filtre, puisque je n'ai pas encore vraiment la possibilité de l'utiliser. Aujourd'hui ayant été au Jardin du Luxembourg afin d'en faire des tests... le soleil était caché. Sinon, pour ce qui est de la fixation du filtre sur ma lentille, j'ai trouvé qu'il n'est pas facile de l'enlever de la lentille. Une impression de fragilité m'est apparue lorsque j'ai tenté de l'enlever la première fois. Une question d'habitude, sans doute.
