  • 1.  Polarizing filter for color accuracy

    Hi IWG, 

      Are there particular brands/models of circular polarizing filters for cameras you guys are using that achieve reasonable color accuracy?

    Thanks!

    Hi Wendy,

    I've been pretty happy with this Zeiss polarizer.

    It's also worth noting that to get the most accurate and precise color response, building a custom profile with the polarizer in place and rotated to the correct position seems to be the optimal procedure.
