Polarising filters which take lens caps
« on: August 19, 2010, 09:56:37 am »

I'm going to be doing some street photography on Saturday and want a 52mm polarising filter that I can discretely attach to my 35mm and 50mm lenses - my 105mm polarising filter and Lee filter kit is a bit cumbersome.

What I really want is a polariser that either comes with a lens cap or, preferably, takes a standard Nikon cap.

I'd get the B+W Kasemann slim, which comes with its own push on cap, but it seems out of stock here in Britain. I like the look of the Heliopan and Hoya HD polarisers, but wonder if anyone knows the situation with caps.

I would think that the caps fit on most of the standard Circular polarisers Alex- but I'm guessing. I have a few Marumi ones in various diameters and the caps fit on those.

My polarizers can take caps when they are 'normal' sized. The 'slim' versions cannot take caps. Not sure if this applies to all polarizers, I use Nikon, B&W & Heliopan.

My B+W filters all work with caps. I have full-sized ones, not those "slims".

The Hoya Pro1 does, or at least it did when I bought mine.
