Product Description
Light rays, which are reflected by any surface, become polarized and polarizing filters are used to select which light rays enter your camera lens. PL-CIR (Circular Polarizing) filters have the same effect, but it is important that you choose the correct version for your camera. They allow you to remove unwanted reflections from non-metallic surfaces such as water, glass etc. They also enable colors to become more saturated and appear clearer, with better contrast. This effect is often used to increase the contrast and saturation in blue skies and white clouds. HOYA's polarizing filters do not affect the overall color balance of a shot.

Customer Reviews:
 Sticks easily August 25, 2008
It jammed on my Nikon 70-200 f/2.8. I didn't have a filter wrench and it took a lot of work to "coax" it off. Optically it is great.
vignetting at wider than 13mm August 17, 2008
The quality of the filter is good. However, vignetting is a problem when your lens is wider than 13mm.
 A great product as advertised. January 23, 2008

This polariser works beautifully on my Canon 24-105 zoom lens.
It is better used outside in brighter conditions since the lens opening needs to be stepped up while it's on.
I have many family members who wear glasses that reflect light & finally I can make portraits of them where their eyes can be seen.
