Cokin P173 Varicolor Blue/Yellow Special Color Effect Glass Filter
Light rays which are reflected become polarized. Polarizing filters are used to select which light rays enter your camera lens. They can remove unwanted reflections from non-metallic surfaces such as water or glass and also saturate colors providing better contrast. If you combine a Variocolor with a Neutral Polarizer, you can vary the intensity by rotating the Neutral Polarizer. For example, depending on the relative rotation of the VarioColor Blue/Yellow filter and the Neutral Polarizer, the reflections become either a blue tint or a yellow tint according to how the filter is rotated and its orientation to the sun.
This filter measures 85 x 85mm and fits the Cokin P series holder.

What a fun little filter. Creates some unique effects without having to do any post-production. I'd say even creating effects that would be next to impossible doing in post.

The best [$] I have spent in a long time.Much cheaper than a warming polarizer and probably more useful.I prefer the blue effect for a dull sky.This filter is also well built, circular in a square holder.

Comments about Cokin P173 Varicolor Blue/Yellow Special Color Effect Glass Filter:
I use it yellow mode when I am stuck in mid-day or hazy light but need a bit of yellow to warm things up. The variable control allows dialing in just the right amount. I use the blue end much less frequently, but dull water or sky can be improved somewhat.
It is easy to over-do either way.
