Hama 72555 Circular Polarizing Filter – 55 mm

Hama 72555 is a premium Circular Polarizing Filter (Cokin Z) designed for photographers who demand exceptional image quality and reliable performance. With a diameter of 5.5 cm (55 mm), it fits most standard camera lenses, providing versatile protection and creative control.

Key Features

• Multi‑layer AR Coating: The filter incorporates a four‑fold anti‑reflection (AR) coating that dramatically reduces flare, ghosting, and lens haze. This ensures maximum light transmission and preserves the sharpness of every shot.
• Circular Polarization Technology: Unlike linear polarizers, this filter can be rotated freely without affecting focus or exposure, allowing seamless integration into any shooting setup.
• UV Protection: Built‑in UV filtering blocks harmful ultraviolet rays, safeguarding the lens and enhancing color fidelity in outdoor photography.
• Durable Black Construction: The filter’s black housing protects against scratches and dust while maintaining a sleek aesthetic that complements any camera body.
• Standard 55 mm Thread: Its 55 mm filter thread is compatible with a wide range of lenses, from compact point‑and‑shoots to professional DSLR and mirrorless systems.
• Included Filter Box: The package comes with a protective filter box that keeps the filter safe during transport and storage.
