Polarizing Filter Question #100000000

[bbaker35]

I know this is only asked about around 10,000 times per week, but I have another question.

What is the difference between a:

Circular Polarizing Filter

Warming Circular Polarizing Filter

Kaesemann Circular Polarizing Filter

and a Warming Kaesemann Circular Polarizing Filter

???

Wow..I'm confused..

Thanks

Anyone Know?

Kaesemann means encased. The filter is sealed against dust etc. Good for harsh conditions. Warming filters raise the colour temperature. I would imagine Warming + Kaesemann combines these two functions.

Thanks Azuth-

What does raising the color temperature mean?

You're statement about raising colour temperature is paradoxical because, higher temperature sources give off white and blue lights, which are actually associated with coldness.

You're right of course cjoe. My bad in hammering out a quick reply. Just do like Willy Wonker says in regards to my post... "Strike that, reverse it."
