I bought this circular polarizer over a year ago. It makes the colors in pictures really standout.
A MUST-HAVE for outdoor or bright light photos!
Digital camera Review: A necessity for your Canon XT kit lens
Summary: 5 Stars
It makes blue skies bluer and reflections truer. That's all you need to know. A great value for any photography you'll be doing on a clear day.Digital camera Review: Adapter makes it fit my Canon SX10 IS
Summary: 5 Stars
After I discovered that I can buy a filter adapter for my Canon SX10 camera, I ran to Amazon to purchase this filter. Normally, filters cannot be used (without difficulty) on a Canon SX10 unless you buy an adapter (such as the one from lensmateonline.com but there may be others), which allows me to use any 58mm filter on my camera. A long time ago (in the pre-digital camera age), I used several filters (mostly from Cokin), including a polarizer. Initially, I wasn't sure if the quality of this made-for-digital filter would measure up to my older equivalent made-for-film filter.
But Hoya is a recognized brand name, so I decided to give it a try. I should say that the filter was exactly as pictured on Amazon.com. I attached it to the filter adapter and mounted it on my SX10 and went out on a bright, sunny day (when there were multiple reflections off of glass, chrome, and the ocean) to take some photos. When I downloaded the photos to my computer, the results were everything that I had hoped for.
This filter does exactly what a polarizer is supposed to do. What more can you ask of a filter? My advice is that if you want to capture rich, blue skies and eliminate distracting reflections off of shiny surfaces, this is a wonderful choice. And Amazon (and, in this case, its 3rd party supplier, DBRoth) will provide you with excellent service.
I'm happy I bought the filter. You will be happy too. Now I get digital photos reminiscent of my old Kodachrome slides. In fact, the only thing that was momentarily scary was that when the package arrived, it was so light I thought maybe they had shipped me an empty box. Of course, they hadn't.
Digital camera Review: Amazing filter, smooth and easy to use.
Summary: 5 Stars
This is one of the first filters I have ever purchased and it is well worth the $45. The build quality is great and the effect it has on the camera is irreplaceable. The filters bearing is smooth and has not worn down in the weeks that I have used it heavily. You have to get the filter in the right position for it to have its full effect, though. And if you have an autofocus lens you have to readjust the filter, but this is a minor inconvenience. It is very easy to put on the lens and has an effect unparalleled by any other filter, lens, or photo editing program.
