Tiffen 55mm HT Circular Polarising Camera Lens Filter

The Tiffen 55mm HT (High Transmission) Circular Polarising Filter is a precision optical filter designed for photographers who demand superior polarising performance with minimal light loss. Built using Tiffen's proprietary ColorCore technology — a process that permanently bonds colour-correcting dye between two layers of optical glass under heat and pressure — the HT CPL delivers exceptional colour neutrality, edge-to-edge sharpness, and reliable contrast control without introducing colour casts or degrading image quality.

Circular polarising filters are one of the most powerful tools in a photographer's kit, producing effects that simply cannot be replicated in post-processing. By rotating the filter on your lens, you can eliminate reflections from water, glass, and wet surfaces, dramatically deepen blue skies, increase colour saturation, and cut through atmospheric haze. The High Transmission designation means this filter passes significantly more light than a conventional CPL, making it ideal for autofocus-dependent shooting, lower-light conditions, and use with lenses where maintaining maximum light throughput is critical.

The 55mm thread size fits a wide range of mirrorless and DSLR lenses, including many standard kit zooms and prime lenses. Tiffen has been manufacturing optical filters for over 80 years, earning a global reputation by supplying Hollywood film productions, broadcast studios, and professional photographers with precision optical products that perform under demanding conditions.
