The Sigma 105mm WR (Water Repellent) Circular Polarizer Filter helps to reduce reflections and glare by filtering out light that has become polarized due to reflection from a non-metallic surface. The light from the sun naturally becomes partially polarized due to reflecting off electrons in air molecules, causing the light to scatter into what appears as haze. A polarizing filter arranges, and filters, this directionally polarized light perpendicularly to the reflected light, allowing for the absorption of much of this light. This results in a noticeable reduction of glare and reflections from non-metallic surfaces and an increase in the saturation of skies and foliage.

How long can I rent for?
One day up to a week or longer. Rental pricing tiers are shown in the Rental Tiers section on this page. Pickup is after 2 PM on the first day and return is by 11 AM on the last day. A weekend rental (Friday afternoon to Monday morning) counts as one rental day.
Do you deliver, or is it pickup only?
Both. GLM is based in Rockwall (far east side of DFW) and pickup at our location is free. Delivery is available across the Metroplex at published round-trip rates: Zone 1 East DFW (Rockwall, Rowlett, Mesquite, Garland) is $50. Zone 2 Dallas Metro (Dallas, Plano, McKinney, Addison) is $125. Zone 3 Central and West DFW (Irving, Grapevine, Denton, Frisco) is $200. Zone 4 Fort Worth and beyond (Fort Worth, Arlington, Mansfield) is $300. Rush same-day delivery adds $100; after-hours adds $75. West of Fort Worth or outside DFW is quoted case by case. You pick your zone at the quote review step and the fee is added to your total automatically, no separate email needed. Full rate table is on the Rental Terms page.
Do I need insurance?
A Certificate of Insurance (COI) listing Geared Like A Machine LLC as additionally insured is required for any rental where total replacement value exceeds $5,000. For smaller rentals, a credit card hold is sufficient. Our Protection Plans can cap your damage liability at 10% of replacement value.
What happens if the gear gets damaged or lost?
Damage is billed at the actual repair cost (or replacement value, whichever is less). Loss or theft is billed at current market replacement value. Our GLM Shield and Shield+ protection plans reduce your liability to 10% of replacement value. Full terms are in the Rental Terms page linked in the footer.
