B+W 82mm Linear Polarizer Filter

Comments about B+W 82mm Linear Polarizer Filter:

Combining the post-production potential of digital photography with a good polarizing filter can give astounding results. Polarizing filter is popular because it eliminates reflections on water or glass, but it can be useful in many other situations, and I like the way it saturates colors. I would recommend top quality filters, such as B+W. It is a once-in-a-lifetime purchase, and it is worth having the best.

Comments about B+W 82mm Linear Polarizer Filter:

Overall very happy with this polarizer but you should be aware of a few things:
1. Rotation is very stiff, at least on mine
2. There seems to be a color cast towards the red. I use it for landscape photography so I don't mind it

And remember this is not a "circular" polarizer, it's a linear polarizer. I use it on my 24mm TS m II witch does not have autofocus.

Comments about B+W 82mm Linear Polarizer Filter:

I purchased this filter in addition to a B+W circular polarizer to create a variable ND filter for my 24mm lens (which is $200 cheaper than a Singh-Ray Variable ND). I haven't had much experience with it but it is well made like all B+W products and does what I expected it to thus far. A point I'd like to make is that during a tragic accident when my mother was trying to move some of my gear around in her truck the lens (with both filters attached) fell out and struck a concrete driveway from a distance of about three and a half feet. It landed at an angle directly hitting this outer filter on the ground and the only noticeable damage is a tiny inward dent on the outer threading and a little scratching from the concrete. The filter did not break, still works like a charm, threads were easily bent back and filter is able to take additional filters on the front. Long and short of it: well built, does what it should, protected my lens, and prevented a potential heart attack.
