Product Description
Light rays which are reflected by any surface become polarized and polarizing filters are used to select which light rays enter your camara lens. Designed to help optimize outdoor picture taking, this filter is among the most popular filters in use. A Circular Polarizing filter has a convenient control that lets you rotate the optics to adjust and reduce reflected light to help obtain the desired effects for your situation. It also helps colors seem more saturated and appear clearer, with improved contrast. This effect is often used to increase the contrast and saturation in blue skies and white clouds. Does not influence the overall color balance of your picture

 High quality polarizing filter December 29, 2008
This is my first polarizing filter, so I can't compare it to other polarizing filters. What I can say is that as I spin it, I can literally watch the reflections in glass disappear, and I can watch the highlights on leaves come back. Also, blue skies get bluer. Works very well.
Quality-wise, it's very high quality. It comes in a nice, small, plastic case which is a good place to store my B+W UV Filter while I'm using the Hoya. It's not quite as heavy as the B+W, but it's close.
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.
Better pictures October 12, 2008
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.

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.
