Haida Filter DROP IN CPL for M10

This Haida Filter DROP IN CPL for M10 helps to reduce reflections and glare by filtering out light that has become polarized due to reflection from a non-metallic surface. Mounted within a geared filter ring assembly, it is made specifically to fit between a separately available Haida M10 Filter Holder and an adapter ring for the filter holder. The geared filter ring assembly's external dial allows for the independent rotation of the circular polarizer filter in order to adjust the intensity of its effect.

The light from the sun naturally becomes partially polarized due to reflecting off electrons in air molecules, causing the light to scatter into what appears as haze. A polarizing filter arranges, and filters, this directionally polarized light perpendicularly to the reflected light, allowing for the absorption of much of this light. This results in a noticeable reduction of glare and reflections from non-metallic surfaces and an increase in the saturation of skies and foliage.

A circular polarizer only differs from a linear polarizer in that it contains a quarter wave plane in addition to the linear polarizing filter. The function of this quarter wave plane is to circularly polarize the linearly polarized light for the use of auto focus and exposure functions. Due to how the light is broken down and filtered with a linear polarizer, auto focus and exposure accuracy become skewed during use. When the light becomes circularly polarized, it permits the use of these functions.

This filter is constructed from optical glass for clarity and color fidelity. To prevent internal ghosting and reflections, each glass surface includes 10 layers of anti-reflection coatings, which also offer greater protection to the filter substrate and help keep it clean for a longer period of time. The Nano coating associated with this Haida Drop-in Circular Polarizer Filter provides an additional layer that results in an improved beading effect when the surface comes in contact with water or oil, allowing for more efficient cleaning.

• Compatible with Haida M10 filter holder kits
• Helps to reduce reflections and glare by filtering out light that has become polarized due to reflection from a non-metallic surface
• Polarizing filters arrange, and filter, directionally polarized light perpendicularly to the reflected light, allowing for the absorption of much of the light
• Clears up haze in distant landscapes and provides more saturated, vivid colors
• Strongest effect when used at a 90° angle from the sun
• Circular polarizers are ideal for use with digital cameras and autofocus lenses where a linear polarizer will often disrupt auto exposure and focus features
• 2.8 to 4x filter factor reduces exposure by 1.5 to 2 stops
• Constructed from optical glass for clarity as well as color fidelity
• 10 layers of anti-reflection coatings in each glass surface as well as a Nano coating that results in an improved beading effect when the surface comes in contact with water or oil, allowing for more efficient cleaning
• External dial on the circular polarizer filter ring assembly allows for the independent rotation of the polarizer filter when it is used with the Haida M10 Filter Holder
• Plastic filter case for storage and transport

M10 Filter Holder system

Featuring a new quick release design the new Haida M10 Filter Holder allows for fast filter installation and ease of operation.

1. First install the appropriate adapter ring to Lens
2. Clip on the Holder
3. “Drop-in” a round filter
4. or "Slide-in" for insert 100 series filters.

After being fitted onto the adapter ring, the M10 holder’s push-and-release locking lever provides a fast, durable and adjustable connection.

The new “Drop-In” Round Filter feature allows the round CPL or any of the Drop-In filters available to be easily fitted and removed from the M10 holder. This does away with the annoying screw in process, providing for quicker setup times.

• Drop-in mount has a gear linkage design. When the top gear is turned, the CPL rotates smoothly
• When a Drop-in filter option is not fitted, a Light Sealing Barrier ring is inserted to prevent light leakage.

Once assembled the complete system can be rotated 360 degrees.

M10 is made from Aviation grade aluminium and Poly Carbonate materials, therefore strong, durable and lightweight. The M10 holder is fast to set up and suitable for heavy duty Professional use.

• A full 360-degree light gasket is fitted to prevent light leakage.
• An 8cm textured non-slip cotton strip on the base of the holder frame adds grip, reducing the risk of slipping and Insert Filter breakage.
• The modern design incorporates the red color Haida trademark of Professional quality.
