I think they meant that the glass in the CPL has 99.5% transmittance, but I don't think they've beat physics. If they had, that would be the headline and the sapphire and Gorilla Glass would be an afterthought.ahsanford said:mackguyver said:If the Endura Circular PL really has 99.5% transmittance, it will be a crazy huge hit.

Imagine a world where people would leave their CPL on all the time, even indoors. Sorry, I'm not seeing / believing it.

Agree. My B+W are reliable, exceptionally well-built, and do not induce any weird color shifts. That's all I use for my threaded filters. Lee's got my business for the 4x4 / 4x6 ones.

to block out glare (look up Brewster's angle), this can make, for instance, leaves/fall foliage look more rich
to make the sky a deeper blue and make clouds pop out more
to cut through reflections and see through water and glass without as much surface reflection
the first and last above you can't make up for in post-processing and the second would be tricky and cause some damage to image quality and you still couldn't really quite match it anyway
