When light from the sun bounces off a flat non metallic surface, such as glass or water, it becomes polarised with all of the reflected light waves vibrating in the same plane. This reflected glare can be removed by the polarising filter.

The SW150 System features its own circular polarising filter. If used alone, the polariser can be placed into the filter holder and the holder rotated until the desired effect is achieved. If used with a grad filter, the grad should be positioned first, then the polariser added you will have no rotation possible without turning the grad, but will have a choice of two axis of polarisation, achievable by turning the filter through 90 degrees.

The Lee Filter System

Please Note: the Lee SW150 Filter Holder & SW150 Adaptor Ring is needed to use the system (Sold separately).
