Product Description
Light rays that are reflected by any surface become polarized and polarizing filters are used to select which light rays enter your camera lens. PL (Linear Polarizing) and 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.

 You get what you pay for October 18, 2008

The biggest plus: it's cheap! This is my first experience using a polariser, and it does the job. I haven't managed to make the colors 'pop' like I've read other polarisers can do, but it does darken the sky slightly. Otherwise, it's hard to keep clean, but my lens cap still works with it. It does not appear to have any coatings.

With this polarizor, my colors are richer, and background skys are not so bleached out. Would definately recommend for better pictures.

You don't have to be a professional to appreciate what a polarized lens filter can do for your camera. If you have ever worn polarized sun-glasses, you already know what that technology does in terms of clarity and visual enhancement.
Good starter filter. July 29, 2008

Well, I think this polarized filter is probably the best for the price. I'm brand new to DSL' and I kept stumbling over discussion's about polarized filter's and went looking for one. It's true that you get what you pay for. Theres less expensive ones and certainly more expensive circular polarized filter's. There seemed to be a big jump in price (maybe around $60.00)from this price to a better quality filter. So, for your first try at using a polarized filter's, I think this is a fair price. Granted theres better quality out there.
Great transaction! July 29, 2008
