Digital camera reviews of Hoya 52mm Circular Polarizing Glass Filter - B52CRPLGB
Digital camera Review: A case of "it's the only option"
Summary: 3 Stars
My understanding is that linear polarizers don't work well with some modern camera functions, such as auto focus, so I bought this circular filter. Well, the effect of the circular polarizer isn't anywhere near as dramatic and useful as the linear, as I remeber things from 35 mm film days. So, since I mostly use a polarizer for wide angle landscape shots, I think I'll use a linear and focus manually.
If linear filters DON'T mess up auto focus and/or metering on DSLR's, I invite correction.
Summary of Hoya 52mm Circular Polarizing Glass Filter - B52CRPLGB
Light rays which are reflected by any surface become polarised and polarising filters are used to select which light rays enter your camara lens. They allow you to remove unwanted reflections from non-metallic surfaces such as water, glass etc. They also saturate colors and increase contrast. Polarizers come in two variations but have the same effect. Linear polarizers work with older camera meters; Circurlar polarizers are designed for today's newer split-beam metering systems used in auto focus cameras. Check your camera's manual.Filters
