Linear polarizer filtervs circular

A linear polarizer changes light differently than a circular polarizer. Linear & Circular polarizers start as linear polarizers. The difference between the two is that CPLs also have something called a quarter wave plate which allows light to be transmitted in a helical shape, instead of a linearly oriented wave. It is the shape of these waves that make CPLs best for DSLRs, and LPLs best for mirrorless cameras. Linear Polarizers have better film color while Circular Polarizers have some color shift. For decades, circular polarizers have been a standard tool for landscape photographers. Polarizers help improve contrast and saturation of certain subject matters. A Circular Polarizer eliminates problems associated with the Mirror Box in SLRs / DSLRs. However, color shifts related to Circular Polarizers have also resulted in a slightly yellowish shift in their images when not color corrected. While Polarizing Filters enhance colors and reduce unwanted glare, Neutral Density Filters block out light coming into the camera lens.  When a MAVEN Linear Polarizer is paired with an existing MAVEN CPL, it creates a Variable Density Filter that provides between 1.3-5 stops of filtration. By merging a circular polarizer with a linear one, we present our adjustable variable neutral density (ND) filter. Simply attach the filter, and rotate it until you reach the desired amount of polarization.
