| Product Description |
| Light rays, which are reflected by any surface, become polarized and polarizing filters are used to select which light rays enter your camera lens. PL-CIR (Circular Polarizing) filters have the same effect, but it is important that you choose the correct version for your camera. They allow you to remove unwanted reflections from non-metallic surfaces such as water, glass etc. They also enable colors to become more saturated and appear clearer, with better contrast. This effect is often used to increase the contrast and saturation in blue skies and white clouds. HOYA's polarizing filters do not affect the overall color balance of a shot. |

Works well, even after being dropped

Does a wonderful job filtering haze and glare. Make sure you learn how to use a circular polarizer before you try it (sun should be at a 90 degree angle, never directly above you).
Also, make sure you adjust this filter by turning it counter clockwise. Otherwise you run the chance of accidentally unscrewing the filter during use and dropping it. That happened to me the first day of use. It fell on the cool deck by my pool, but nothing happened. Still looks like new. Whew! |

A MUST HAVE IN EVERY SLR GADGET BAG
2008-07-16

This filter is the most important piece of equipment in any SLR photographers gadget bag! I finally got one at a great deal thru Amazon. You won't believe what you're missing out on. I read the reviews and thought it was a lot for a filter but oh boy what a difference it makes! Deep blue skies is just the beginning. As long as you shoot at an angle to the sun you'll see the difference right in your view finder.
ps Don't forget to remove when shooting back in low light conditions,you lose about two f-stops with the filter on.

Good to excellent color and light interplay (when used properly), capable of obtaining really desirable clarity and removing unlovely glare, shine and reflections. Unfortunately, the surface coating scratches very easily rendering the glass unusable. While walking around on a shoot, the camera twisted and brushed against my vest buttons. It might as well have been rocks as the accident scraped off some of the coating in the center of the glass. Granted, it could have scratched the lens (except I use a UV to prevent that) so it could have been worse. (Use your lens caps and hoods!)
I will be ordering the Heliopan Heliopan 77mm Circular Polarizer Lens Filter or the Heliopan 77mm Circular Polarizer Filter - SH-PMC (16 Layer Super Hard Multi-Coated) because Heliopan glass is "dyed in the mass" and as such it is far less prone to destruction from a simple act of carelessness. This route may be expensive, but so is replacing circular polarizers.
Another option, but not what I want to deal with is the Lee Foundation Kit LEE Filters Foundation Kit - Filter holder, an interesting way of building a flexible filter arsenal.
BTW, these filters are going to be thicker than others since that is the nature of the beast. I would recommend getting a 77mm (or greater) for a 72mm lens, then using a step-up ring to avoid (or reduce vignetting). Thinner rings are better, but cost more. |

| Good company. I'm UK based so it was vital they took the order and dispatched while I was still on vacation in the US. No problems. |

Good filter

| The Hoya filter arrived on time and has so far done a fine job for me. I am an amateur photographer, so I'm sure there are other filters out there that pro's would prefer, but this does what I wanted it to do. It is multi-coated, and so far I haven't had any lens flare problems. I am using it primarily on a Nikon 18-200mm lens. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a mid-priced, good polarizing filter. |
