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 (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.

It's a polarizer, its the best thing you can do for your camera & your pictures. Besides the standard-UV-Filter one should have a polarizer to create much better pictures with strong colours and less reflections.
The quality of the Hoya filter is very good!

"Reduces light glare"
What a great review of, possibly, the most useful lense you could ever use.
Ever taken a picture of a pond, or something behind glass, and the object behind the glass or water doesn't show for reflective glare? even though you can see them?
- This lense corrects that
Woundering how the pros get great colour (even with British) skys?
- This lense will give huge intensity to almost any sky.
It basically works by 'forcing' light from a specific angle (alot like open blinds) so you can adjust for refracted light, the best demo of this affect can be seen while holding it over a phone or other LCD display and turning the ring to alter the angle the polarizing affects. The backlighting will disappear :)
Its a really useful filter
