Circular Polarizer - 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. The effect can be seen through the viewfinder and changed by rotating the filter. The filter factor varies according to how the filter is rotated and its orientation to the sun.

NOTE: Circular polarizers are specifically designed for use with auto-focus SLR cameras (They will also work on manual systems and video cameras without problems).

This filter eliminates ultraviolet rays to remove haze from outdoor shots as well as polarizing the light to remove reflections, and increase color saturation, without affecting the overall color balance

What can you say about a filter?It's expensive and it does the job.I was originally just going to buy a UV filter to protect the lens. I would rather sacrifice a [$] filter than a $1,500 lens, who wouldn't?Anyhoo, this filter is very well built and the polarizing function is flawless.Very useful photographing buildings with reflections or any body of water.Not really necessary photographing birds.

This filter produced the effect I was looking for. The price was within my range and it has assisted me in my pursuit of quality sports photos no matter what the outside lighting conditions. The only issue with the lens filter was that the retaining ring which holds the lens in place was bent when it arrived and I had to manually manipulate it into its proper position. Since making my home repair, I have not had any issues with the filter.

            This filter is a must when you are photographong outside in the bright sun. It will tone the "shinning effect" you get from the bright sun. It also will make the sky look amazing.

                    I use this filter on my 100-400mm lens and it certainly has made a world of difference to my pictures. I would recommend this filter to anyone, the only down side is the cost, it is expensive but you get what you pay for.

                      Quality of glass is OK but after 3 months of use, with extra care, the whole thing came apart out of the blue. I tried to mount it back on and the parts just won't attach. To the trash it goes !!!

                                    True to form, this filter delivers as with all the Hoya range in terms of quality of manufacture and outcome. The results are crisp (meaning quality is not affected by the 2 pieces of polarised glass) and the colours well-saturated and defined. The filter fits well and operates smoothly without drag or any roughness in circular travel. All told, a good, reliable piece of kit to work with.

                                      Got this in the mail half way through a beach vacation for the 17-55mm lens on my Canon 60D. The improvements were remarkable...less glare on the water, deeper skies especially.
