    The Rocketfish Circular Polarizer fits great on my Nikon J1 lenses and does work pretty well, especially given it's low price. Just remember to clean it first before using it the first time. Overall it's a great value for my Nikon 1 setup!

    I did not want to spend a lot of money on a polarizing filter and I just happened to see it on sale in the store. It got decent reviews and the price was unbeatable so I bought it and it's worked well. I also bought an extra one, but ended up giving it away to a friend.

    Bought this on clearance so didnt know what to expect. If you are shooting outdoor photos on sunny days this is a must have. Really brings out the colors and cuts down on the suns glare

    Bought it with UV filters due to its good price. Test against a LCD monitor showed reasonable extinction in green and blue but not the same for red color. It is vary easy to see reflection from surface so the anti-reflection coating is a so-so one. I think the filter will be useable to attenuate surface reflection light based on my test on a LCD monitor.

    This well priced lens is a great add on to your camera lens and will let you create effects that may not already be available to you. With just a little practice and even some photoshopping you can create some great pictures.

    Polarizing filters at better camera stores cost 2-3x more than this one. For my needs this RocketFish filter is OK, but I wish the turning motion of the filter in its retainer ring could be a bit smoother. Am using this 40.5mm filter with a Nikon AW110 all-weather/waterproof camera.

    This fits perfectly on the sony 16-50mm e lens for the mirrorless cameras with apc sensors. If you by it on sale, it's a good value.
