What’s also useful is that this is glass is particularly tough, which helps with the long term value due to the additional durability of the QuartzLine filters and also helps performance in extreme temperatures. PolarPro claims that is has the lowest refractive index of any filter glass on the market (1.456). The quality of the glass in the QuartzLine is extremely high due to it actually being made from 99% pure premium quartz.

A cheap filter can make a great lens perform like a terrible lens, so this is a big deal. A good filter is supposed to add value or versatility to a photographer without introducing negative elements like reduced sharpness or ghosting from light bouncing around. The quality of the optical glass in filters is obviously the most important element of the whole package. The first bullet point is basically the reason for the name. Lifetime Warranty – Built for a lifetime of adventures.16 Coating Layers – Anti-scratch / anti-oil / hydrophobic coatings.Perfect Color Neutrality – New coating process for zero color shift.Brass Frame – Smooth threading and increased durability.Fused Quartz Glass Element – Resolves up to 400MP sensors.Here’s a quick look at the bullet points of what sets the QuartzLine apart according to PolarPro: I particularly like the careful attention to detail on identifying the packaging for each filter, as this means that when you are reaching for a filter with identical packaging you can still easily identify which filter is within. The filters aren’t cheap, but you immediately feel like you are getting value for money. This is the nicest packaging I’ve seen for any filter, and it immediately sets the PolarPro QuartzLine apart as being well branded and well executed. It is also branded to let you know what filter is inside and 3) a microfiber cleaning cloth with a photograph screen-printed on it. Inside the box you get three different things in addition to the filter itself: 1) a nylon pouch carefully branded to identify what filter goes in it 2) an extremely nice hard case with soft touch outer materials and a custom molded interior for the filter.

I agreed to take a look at three of their filters (all 67mm filter thread, in this case), including what I consider to be the most important filter (a circular polarizer), second important filter (ND1000 ten stop neutral density filter for long exposures), and finally, a filter that was new to me: a combination ND/CP-L filter (I chose an ND-64 six stop neutral-density component). I could quickly tell that the PolarPro QuartzLine were the makers of very serious, premium camera lens filters for traditional lenses and for drone lenses. I get a lot of review requests (most of which I turn down), but I do take the time to do a quick investigation of each company and their products.
