Digital camera reviews of Heliopan 707740 77mm Slim Circular Polarizer SH-PMC

Digital camera Review: Issues with threads
Summary: 2 Stars

The filter that I received was in ok shape. Out of the package it had fingerprints and was dirty leading me to question whether or not is was actually a brand new product (there is not a tamper seal or tape).

This I could have lived with, but for me the larger issue was the binding of the threads. A circular polarizer is a lens filter that is not left on 100% ofthe time and thus needs to have good threads to he able to come offend be pit on easily. When screwing it on to a brand new Canon 10-22mm lens, I found that it was difficult to screw on. I did not run into this same issue with any of my B+W filters and will probably stick with them exclusively in the future.

Overall decent construction other than the threading issue and the possibility of a slightly used product. For what it is worth I did not notice any amount of vignetting when using this on the 10pm focal length.

Summary of Heliopan 707740 77mm Slim Circular Polarizer SH-PMC

The Heliopan 77mm Slim Circular Polarizer SH-PMC improves the color of the sky, (in distant pictures, mountain scenes, etc.) and reduces the bluish cast in landscapes. The darkest blue sky is achieved photographing objects at a 90° angle to the sun. In addition, polarizers enhance the color saturation of the scene by suppressing reflections from the subject's surface. Undesired reflections can largely be eliminated. The rim is calibrated to help in finding the proper setting when a through-the-lens preview is not available. Suitable for use with auto-focus cameras, cameras with through-the-lens metering and digital cameras.
