First Class Product and Seller
Received this product a few days after making a purchase. Product came on time and as stated in sellers description. would deffinitly buy again.

Polariser filter has made a big diffrence to my photography and is a must in anyones kit bag. I've used this filter a few times, and because a polariser is a sort of a ND filter also I've used it in nighttime photography where the bright lights would have burned out on my shot. Great product.

Blue skies and green leaves
The polerizing effect is good. The filter is easy to rotate.

Unlike a linear filter on a conventional film SLR, it is harder to tell what angle gives maximum effect. I think this is because it is a circular polarizing filter, which is necessary for digital cameras.

There is a white mark on the filter which should be set to the direction of the light source, the sun usually, but this is only an approximate guide.

If like me, you want the maximum effect, then it is hard to judge, especially since my digital SLR takes a moment to display the image in the viewfinder.

Excellent filter
I am very happy with this Hoya polarising filter.

It was a bit fiddly when screwing onto my Canon 18-55mm lens but importantly it is well built and makes a clear difference to my pictures. I have taken photos with and without the filter to compare results and see a subtle yet clear difference. With the filter you do get richer colours, especially darker blue skies, and less reflection. You just have to remember to take the filter off when taking shots in poor light!

This is a reasonably priced filter that is a must-have for your DSLR camera kit.
