Delivering up to 99.7% light transmission through Tiffen’s proprietary High Transmission (HT) glass, this premium CPL filter eliminates unwanted reflections, deepens blue skies, and renders colours with stunning saturation — all without the significant light loss that plagues standard polarisers. For photographers shooting in low light, under a forest canopy, or in any situation where preserving exposure is critical, the HT designation is a meaningful upgrade over conventional CPL filters.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStandard circular polarizers typically reduce light by 1.5 to 2 stops, which can force you into slower shutter speeds, higher ISO, or wider apertures than you intended. The Tiffen HT CPL reduces this penalty to less than 1 stop — approximately 1.5x filter factor — keeping your autofocus fast, your metering accurate, and your creative options open. This makes it particularly well-suited to wildlife, sports, and event photography where speed matters as much as image quality.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBuilt using Tiffen’s ColorCore technology, the polarizing material is permanently fused between two layers of precision optical glass with a multi-layer anti-reflection coating, delivering consistent colour neutrality with zero colour cast across all shooting conditions. The slim-profile anodised aluminium ring minimises vignetting on wide-angle lenses and is built to withstand the rigours of professional field use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe 72mm thread size is found on a wide range of mid-range and professional lenses, making this HT CPL a versatile choice for photographers using telephoto zooms, fast primes, and standard zoom lenses from leading manufacturers. Whether you shoot landscapes, seascapes, architecture, portraits, or video, the Tiffen 72mm HT CPL delivers a visible, immediate improvement in image quality that no amount of post-processing can replicate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAvailable for pre-order from Foto Discount World in Pretoria — South Africa’s trusted source for professional camera filters and photographic accessories.
