PL Water-repellent, Antistatic type

The WR Circular Polarizer Filter is essential for shooting landscapes and scenery, as it suppresses surface reflections. Comes standard with Sigma's WR coating.

With the Sigma WR Circular Polarizer, light transmission is increased by 30%, as compared to a conventional polarizer, allowing easier viewing from the viewfinder. Additionally, colors, tone, and saturation are intensified, while shadows appear darker with better gradation and contrast. The WR Circular Polarizer also obliterates unwanted reflections from windows and water, increases contrast in landscape photography, and darkens blue skies. Sigma’s WR coating offers excellent water and oil-repellency performance, and fingerprints are easily removed with a quick wipe.

Multi-Coated Filters

When pitted against the standard coating offered by other brands, the benefits of Sigma’s ultra-low reflection multicoated optics are crystal clear.

Digital camera CCD or CMOS sensors are highly reflective objects and therefore susceptible to reflections. These reflections could spoil your photographs. Sigma Professional Filters have an ultra-low reflection multi-coating that dramatically reduces potential of sensor reflections and flare.

Key Optimizing Features

• Black-Rimmed Glass Reduces light reflection off filter edge.
• Premium Hard Anodized Black Frame Finish Aesthetically functional design that blends well with the fit and finish of professional lenses.
• Low Profile Filter Rim Prevents vignetting with wide-angle focal length lenses. Designed to accept lens caps.
• Easy-Grip Filter Edge Non-slip mounting and removal of filter.
  
  

Anti-Static Coating

Applicable to all but the Standard Protector Filter, the anti-static coating helps prevent static electricity from attracting dust and other particles, which can easily be blown off the filter if they do adhere.

Water & Oil Repellent Coating

Applicable to all but the Standard Protector Filter, the surface of the filter is specially coated to offer excellent water and oil-repellent performance. Watch water and oil ricochet while dust that does adhere blows away and fingerprints removes with one wipe.

Wide Angle Capability

By incorporating thinner frame (except 86mm, 95mm and 105mm) to avoid vignetting even with super wide-angle lenses, it is ideal for various types of lenses from wide-angle to telephoto. Moreover, a lens cap can be attached as the edge of frame is threaded.

Case ideal for filter storage

The storage case is made of a special acrylic that is both stronger and more flexible than conventional filter storage case materials. The outer acrylic case is molded so as to be integrated with the inner elastomer holder, creating a filter holder designed to last many years with minimal deterioration. The case is designed to be highly durable and not open or close accidentally during use. All of these individual benefits add up to a case that is ideal for filter storage.

Made In Japan

SIGMA’s lens filters are made completely in Japan, including all individual processes used in its manufacture.
