I bought both this polarized lens filter and the uv filter and both had fingerprints and smudges on the glass straight out of the cases! Both also had a cloudy haziness on them. I couldn't get them cleaned off no matter how much I tried. $115 spent on two lens filters that I can't use. Unfortunately I didn't have time due to work to open the cases until about 5 weeks after purchase, and it was too late to return or exchange them. I certainly know now to never order these on the internet and go to a camera shop where quality is better controlled.

Went up to Linville Falls in Western NC on a sunny day to take some photos with the filtered lens and without. Boy, what a difference! For the better! Taking the glare off from the very sunny day gave the photos more richness in its colors. I highly recommend as one of your camera options. Looking forward to taking some photos with this filter after a good snow.

The filter fir my camera, and is easy to operate. I have used it at swim meets for much better pictures of the people in the water. Its true effects are governed by the lighting conditions and what challenges you are trying to do! For me its been a useful tool !

I have found that Hoya has very consistent quality control and performance from filter size to filter size. This range of filter is the highest value of cost for the best results. Make sure to buy 3 camera accessories for bonus savings in a bundle!

Quality is OK but there are lots of good options on the market. I don't feel like the polarizing effect is that strong for some reason. Previous filters I've used it's been like night and day, but on this one I'm often spinning and can't find the optimal image.

I chose Hoya because it has a reputation for quality. This polarizer makes such a difference on sunny days. Its twist on and off means I can set it aside after the sun goes down! When on the lens, it is also an inexpensive protective cover for the camera lens..

I’m still learning how much is enough and how much is too much but this little circle does neat things to the sky and water with wonderful rich colors.

This filter has really improved my outdoor photography. It brings the richness of blue skies out and has a swivel on it so you can adjusted to get the best quality look.
