H&Y’s circular polariser filter is a new introduction to the Revoring series. Depending on what you own, one of these can fit all your lenses. Gone are the days of having a bagful of filters for different thread sizes. The Revoring is a unique, self- retracting set of blades that overlap to avoid light leaks, and allow it to quickly and securely attach to the accessory threads of different lenses. The Revoring MRC CPL comes in three sizes – 46-62mm, 58-77mm and 67-82mm. The polariser itself is made from Schott B270 optical glass and includes anti-reflective coatings, to eliminate the risk of flare from the front and rear of the filter, and maximise light transmission. Multi Resistant Coating (MRC) is also H&Y has added a circular polariser and magnetic, clip-on ND filter to its versatile Revoring variable adapter ring ecosystem One-size- fits-all polariser

used to make the filter dust- and moisture-resistant and easy to clean. The H&Y Revoring MRC CPL filter retails at £120 for the 46-62mm, and £130 for the other two sizes. Also joining the Revoring line-up is a magnetic clip-on ND filter. Cross-polarisation – when you get an obvious X-pattern as you dial in more neutral density – is an issue with variable NDs. This is especially true with wide lenses, and limits how much ND you can achieve. Using the new magnetic clip-on filter with Revoring VND now means you can obtain a higher level without the X-pattern. The filter comes in different strengths – 4x, 8x, 16x and 400x – and the 46-62mm is priced at £109, with the 58-77mm and 67- 82mm at £129. handyfilters.com
