Does exactly what it's supposed to do. Overall good quality build. Great for B&W photography. Makes the clouds pop.

I'm a rank amateur with too much camera for my own good but the filter in a gymnasium setting seemed to bring out much sharper colors.

If you ever wondered how people are able to take pictures through a glass tank or display like at a zoo, or take beach/lake landscapes during the day without having the water be a "mirror" for the sun, and the sky being so bright it ruins the image, this is exactly what you need! It works by rotating the ring (this is a MUST and is why the ring rotates) until the reflections are gone or minimized- there is only so much a CPL filter can do in general and this is of course a budget model as it could be in some cases 1/10 the cost of a "professional" filter. I am not a pro but i can say that this filter makes shots which would otherwise; have a blown out sky (too bright) or reflections on glass when im taking pictures through a window or something else, clear and much improved. It also works to bring down light such as bright clouds during the day time etc. so you can more better expose the picture and capture the whole scene and not just a small part of it (if you want to). I am using this on a beginner DSLR D3200 and am pretty satisfied especially at it's price point, i ALWAYS use it in daytime, at night it's only useful in a minority of situations for specific shots and effects. I included an image at a low resolution to be able to upload it however the effect of having the sky and water clear and the whole scene exposed relatively evenly shows the effect of the filter.

I am only a amateur playing with my camera so cant leave any real good or bad points on a filter. I bought it to protect my lens primarily but decided on a polarized one as someone told me it can help block out some glare. always protect your lens with a cover of some sort!

This is a great filter, provided that you do not try to use a hood. If you look at how it is made, the filter has two parts, the lens: the lens and sort of a gripping ring with a knurled edge. The lens is free to rotate without unscrewing itself, which is a good thing. Unfortunately, a hood cannot slide over the mounting ring with the raised edge on it. In order to use this filer with a hood you need to unscrew it from the lens, install the hood, and then reach inside of the hood and attempt to screw in the filter. Seeing how the filter itself is designed to freely rotate, and your fingers cannot possibly grip the rim of the mounting ring, it becomes difficult, but far from impossible to screw in the lens at least partway. It's a great filter, provided you have no intention of using a hood. For the price, you cannot beat it. I just think making a filter with an outer diameter too large for a hood is a major oversight by the designers. Otherwise, I'd give it 5 Stars for performance value.

this filter does a great job of providing pictures that are more evenly colorful and not washed out. It goes on easily. Also, very reasonably priced....same item at pro camera shops run for $90 or more

Good protective case, screen fully covered. Easy to fit and remove if you find the need too. All controls, buttons and microSD slot easily accessible. Magnetic closure of flip cover makes sure it doesn't open and expose the screen when carrying. Flip cover folds over the back of the case to create a stand and the cover is held in place magnetically. Automatically shuts down and wakes up the tablet when it is closed and opened, a nice feature. Saves you having to hit buttons to do this. This item was on sale at approx $11.99 + tax + postage. A real bargain. No hesitation in recommending

The glare reduction is awesome but an added benefit is the color saturation this gives your outdoor photos!!

Very satisfied using it was easy to attach and it made a big difference taking pictures on the lake

We purchased this polarizer as a way to protect the actual lens of our Canon T3i as well as reduce glare and sunlight while taking photos. Used it extensively while vacationing in Peru--the resulting photos speak for themselves! Worth it to improve quality of your pictures

Just a necessary addition to protect my lens. Easy to install and keep clean.

I use this in sunlight and it helps with glare. Alsogaurds the lense glass

Works great! Helps reduce the glare making those hard to get photos easier

I had purchased a Rocketfish - 58mm UV Filter years ago for my canon t2i and lost it recently. I went to Best Buy to get another one and they only had the insignia filters so I picked one up. It is great for outdoors and the color in my photographs look really good. Overall, great product.

Good protection for camera lens while reducing glare and improving color.

This CPL has one of the best price performance ratio. I can mount this filter, point my camera at a large flat screen TV, and turn the lens until the TV screen goes completely black. But, I do have one major issue, though. The knurled edge of the portion of the filter that rotates sticks just enough so that I cannot mount my hood onto the lens when this filter installed. If I wish to use this filter with my hood, I have to first install the hood, and then try to reach inside and screw on this filter. Not good. Designers should have easily foreseen this issue. Overall, without that raised edge on the knurling, I would give this lens 5 stars. If you do not use a hood, then my issue is moot for you. If you do use a hood, prepare yourself to be slightly inconvenienced.

I used to have problems with overexposure in sunlit skies. Now I can clearly have clouds standing out against blue skies without photoshop. My raw images look excellent. I would recommend having a polarizer lens filter for every lens you use to shoot pictures in bright sunlight.

Purchased this polarizer after reading reviews and have been very happy with my purchase. It is far less expensive as some polarizers on the market but the quality is rock solid. Would recommend this product to others.

The maximum amount of light attenuation is approximately 1.75 stop; for best results, try not to stop down more than 1.25 stops. Images will pop using this filter. Vivid color and will bring out highlights. Just a nice filter.

I always have used filters to protect the lens on my camera, this one works well for protection of the lens and while being a polarized filter it can be adjusted for the amount of the polarization effect by turning the filter while mounted on your lens
