Technical Details

Sony VF-DCPL1 Drop-In Circular Polariser Filter for SEL400F28GM.

The Sony Drop-In Circular Polarising Filter is specifically crafted to minimise reflections and glare by filtering polarised light that bounces off non-metallic surfaces.

It's meticulously engineered for the Sony FE 400mm f/2.8 GM OSS Lens, slotting seamlessly into the lens's accessory filter slot due to the front diameter being too large for screw-on filters. This isn't your traditional filter; its polarising effect takes place behind the main glass elements.

The filter operates by organising and filtering directionally polarised light at right angles to reflected light, absorbing a significant amount of it to diminish haze and boost colour saturation in skies and foliage. Its most potent effect is realised when it's positioned at a 90° angle from the sun.

Key Features

• Minimises reflections and glare
• Slots seamlessly into the Sony FE 400mm f/2.8 GM OSS Lens
• Boosts colour saturation in skies and foliage
• Includes a quarter wave plane to circularly polarise light
• Features an integrated locking mechanism

Constructed from high-quality optical glass, this circular polariser includes a quarter wave plane to circularly polarise light, ensuring compatibility with autofocus and auto-exposure systems-unlike linear polarisers, which can disrupt these functions.

The filter features an integrated locking mechanism to secure it within the lens and an external dial for adjusting the polarisation effect. It comes with a plastic case for storage and transport, making it a practical and essential accessory for photographers using the Sony FE 400mm f/2.8 GM OSS Lens.
