    This was a decent filter for price. Make sure this is the size you need for your camera lens (check the lens it says it on it). I am not a professional but I liked this filter for photos in which the sunlight was too bright (such as sunset). It slightly darkens the photo so I do not have to deal with weird glare or camera prevents me from shooting due to too much brightness. Nothing extraordinary but it works as intended and protects lens from debris damage.

    For my prime lense I have a filter that cost 3x what this one did. I use this on my zoom lense and it works well. Haven't noticed any flaws but I photoshop those out anyway.

    I recently purchased a Nikon D3200 Camera that came with several lenses. I sometimes do work for a Commercial Photography Studio and one of the assistants to the cameramen suggested I buy a Lens Filter to help keep my lenses clean. An Associate at Best Buy recommended the Polarized one to help cut down on glare. I'm glad that he did. I do a lot of nature photography and glare is a constant issue when I'm shooting especially around ponds and lakes. I am very pleased with how my pictures turn out.

    Got this for a Canon 40mm f/2.8 pancake lens. This fit the budget perfectly, given the lens itself runs about $150. I usually have B+W lens filters, and the equivalent circular polarizer would be almost as much as the lens, which wouldn't make much sense, so this budget filter is great. May not polarize as much as my B+W but still gets the job done.

    It does as expected and brightens colors and reduces reflections which in turn makes for a much better photo. I also like that it protects the lens. Always better to replace or clean a filter than the actual lens. If something is ever to get sand in it or scratched then it is better to be an inexpensive filter than you nice lens :).

    Let's face it. For the price this is a good polarizing filter. It's not the highest quality glass and I had adjust 2 full stops on a bright sunny day! It DOES, however give you good performance if you're shooting into the water (in our case, we were taking shots of Florida Manatees! Overall, it's ok.

    Its a $13 polarized filter, it works great, fits great and allows you to spin the filter to adjust the polar angle. The optics are really nice ( Not Carl Zeiss Nice) but works for an average Joe like me. Can't go wrong for the price. Now if I could just learn how to use my Camera!

    I bought this in a hurry as I was out of state shooting a wedding and the UV filter I had on the lens failed me. The glass fell out and it was an Insignia like this, so I'm doubtful of the build quality in terms of longevity. Best Buy did not have a UV filter in stock but since I was shooting outside in bright sunlight I decided a polarizing filter would be fine as I wanted it primarily to protect the lens. That being said, until the first one failed I was happy enough with it and so far I'm also happy enough with this one, I just hope it doesn't do what the last filter did. I would argue it's a functional item in a pinch and is worth the cost....it's just not a very good item.

    I'm a novice with photography and didn't want to spend the money on a true DSLR. I didn't realize there were lens filters for point and shoots. I found this and it works great with my Nikon CoolPix P600.

    This filter works great. I have only had the opportunity to use a couple of times but the results were very noticeable. The colors were better and had less haze. I am satisfied with my purchase.
