Customer Ratings & Reviews

The fit and quality of the glass was excellent. I wish I would have bought several spares when I had the chance.

I have used this polarizer with shots against water, foliage shots during mid-day, and very hazy landscape shots.

Cheap option for great results! As always Bestbuy was the best.

Circular Polarizer can improve your pictures. So worth it.

Easy to install, keeps my main lense from getting scratch and does what it is suppose to do.

I bought this to shoot in outdoor near water and open places and this works great

easy to install threaded coupling to camera light weight doesnt add a lot of extra weight

This filter definitely makes my pictures clearer in bright sun-light out doors.

Great product. Pro photographer recommends to anyone doing outdoor photographer

Love this item! Helps makes my pictures clearer without reflections.

Overall a great product for a beginner in the photography field

Works just as good as the more expensive lenses. very pleased

A polarizer is a must shooting the ocean. This one works.

I haven't used it too much yet, but I am happy with this.

Bought it for hobby use and it does what it should.

Not a great purchase. Typically I purchase them at a camera shop but we no longer have one close to us so I took a chance on this one. Would love it if you carried a higher quality to have choices.

I just purchased the 67mm circular polarizer and it works the way it should. I'm guessing the people who gave it bad reviews have no idea how to use it. In the old days, they were made with two pieces of coated glass, and when you spun them independently of each other, it would have the polarizing effect, reducing reflections on non-metallic surfaces and boosting saturation. These days, the coating that used to be on the inner piece of glass is located inside the camera, so only one glass element is needed. It is made of two rings attached together, the inner ring being empty. You screw the filter (carefully so you don't cross-thread and damage it) onto the camera lens until it is snug. Then, while looking through the viewfinder, you turn the outer of the two rings until you achieve the desired effect. (this is the part most amateurs cant figure out.) I have another smaller sized polarizer from a more expensive brand which is a tiny bit stronger, but for the price, this is more than adequate. I often use them for reflection removal during automotive photography. The only issue is that they all really only work on one plane at a time, meaning that a car windshield points in one direction while the smaller windows are almost at 90 degrees to the side. Polarizers work best when all the surface reflections are pointing in the same directions. I've taken test shots, achieved the desired results, and can't find any problems with the build or performance.

Good for out doors in the sunlight as it darkens the sky a darker shade of blue.... It makes the clouds stick out better. It is also great to take out the shine out of water. Acts the same way as Polarizing sun glasses work (can see into the water past the surface) Good to have for added features to your photograph. I love it and use it on all the outdoor shots. Not recommended for indoors though. Good for protection on your lens ..... better to scratch the filter, then the glass on your lens...

I usually don't use filters - particurally not UV to "protect" the lens as there is always some compromise in optical quality by adding that extra piece of glass. Two "must have" filters are te CPL Polarizer (not linear polarizer) and a ND - neutral density - filter. A polarizer is a unique filter that requires turning the filter for increased effect. Obciously, you need some contrast to show any effect so can't do it in the store. Outside, two main areas are landscape - look at the clouds against the sky as you turn the filter, and when you have water glare. As a realtor, I use it when taking front photos of homes, and bringing out cloud detail really ads depth to the photo. Also,was kicking myself on procrastinating on the purchase as I took video of manatee but need the filter to cut the glare off the waer surface. It is inexpensive and it works. If I had wanted "better" I would have gotten Hoya, B+W or others at $50+. Th biggest issue is more on lens planning so you don't have to buy multiple sizes of the same. My Tamron 17-50 and Nikon 70-300 both use the same 67 size, but the equally good Tamron 70-300 uses a 62 size and wasne of the major issues when deciding between the two. Not certain what the other person was referring to on CPL and "going black" when the opposing polarizing lines match up. Reality is, Hoya and others try to do just the opposite, giving you extra f-stops by NOT going black. Of course you pay dearly for that convenience feature Would recommend this for 95% of the people as is optically good whiich is all you can really ask. The other 5% won't be satisfied unless they ger the Hoya, B+W and others. The only dislike isn't a issue with the filter. Rather, with the filter in place, the lens hood will not fit. You have to be careful as it adds the potential for glarereflecting off the lens.

If you have already bought a DSLR camera and a couple of lenses you need to protect your investment, these filter will provide a really good protection for your lens plus it will enhance the quality of your pictures
