A must for glare removal!

Exactly what I expected...I cut the sheet in two and use in front of electronic flash heads, coupled with the B+W lens linear polarizer.
Only problem was with the packaging..........box with airbags was perfect, but somehow the plastic tube containing the gel was squashed at one end.....took two days under weights to flatten out the sheet.

Double-polarising a subject is tricky as well as technically challenging if you don't know what you are doing. Rosco makes it simple with sheet filters which are neutral colour, consistent in density and in convenient sheet sizes. Whether using continuous lights, studio flash or monos, the filters can be cut to fit any format or mask. The one unavoidable drawback is flattening the tightly-wound sheet when it arrives!

Used this on some lamps to reduce glare while filming some photographs and it came out great.

Odd size, but works as you would expect polarizer to work. I use this for cross polarization – aligned gels on monolights and a circular polarizer on the lens.

Got the #7300 sheet [...] then unrolled the filter. I cut two pieces off and taped them over the two lights I have on my copy stand, being sure to keep them in the same alignment. Then I used a rotating polarizing filter on my camera, and turned it until the background of the copy stand went darkest. (turning it around and around you can see it change.) I placed a picture on the copy stand, and reflections were virtually gone.The cross polarization technique is working great to shoot images of old photos which are printed on textured paper; scanning them doesn't work as well.

This will do the job for you. I have used Rosco polarizers for over 20 years and am happy with their neutral colour and effectiveness when used with a cross-polarised lens filter to eliminate reflections from repro work. Though thin and flimsy, they can be made consistent and fairly durable provided you sandwich them between sheets of perspex. Cut square to the diameter of my flash scoops (reflectors), I clip the 'sandwiches' on to the edges of the scoops with ordinary large-size office 'bulldog' clips. Far cheaper than buying Kaiser, but maybe Samigon ready-mounted would be cheaper in the long run.

[...] It was easy to order and pay for + I found it about a third of the price if I was to buy local. It solved my problem combined with a lens polarising filter to photograph high end oil paintings on canvas.

A bit expensive but does the job

I needed polarizing gels to polarize my light source to shoot some artwork. I shopped around and importing this from B&H was far less expensive than buying anything in Canada. I'm always been pleased with my Rosco gel products so I didn't have to worry about quality, and it works just as I wanted it to.

I got a sheet of this material to use for science projects in my physics class. It is very flexible and has a nice gray tint, rather than the common brown tint of polarizing filters. It is quite thin so it makes a better overlay than a free-standing structural material.

I use this to reduce glare when taking photos of my original oil paintings. It works as advertised. It seems fairly durable but is tightly rolled making it kind of hard to work with. You'll need some type of frame and clips to secure it in front of your lighting. Scratches easily but this doesn't seem to show up in the photos I've taken thus far.

Pretty simple stuff, hard to mess this up.

The shipping tough was extremely wasteful. A big box was used for what required only a small tube.

It's what I was looking for to photograph paintings. Affordable. Would like an inexpensive product to mount the filters on for attaching to a light stand.

I have been using these with tota tights (750W) and tota filter clips. What is really frustrating with these filters is that they come rolled, and insist on re-rolling themselves at all times. This makes mounting difficult. I also had a problem after a few uses that they became warped due to the heat from the lights, making it nearly impossible to keep the polarization aligned properly.

Next time I'm going for a thicker, made-flat filter that is better at handling heat from the lights. Might work better with a lower power bulb, but they still have issues.

I do Copy Art and since i got this gels my photos went to the next level.you can see them here.[@]

These gels are as you'd expect them to be with no surprises. The material is durable and arrived well packaged.

One point of frustration is paying for a larger size then I needed to go with the gel holders I also purchased from B&H. It would be really great to see the gel manufacturer come out with a universal gel holder that's a perfect fit for the gels they supply. The 4 star rating reflects this size issue.

Does a great job of knocking out the shine when shooting flat art, or a shiny model. It has a very thick base which gives it a durable feel, and one sheet can be cut up to cover four standard reflectors.

Seems fairly durable and heat resistant - I did manage to burn a small hole in it with the 250W modeling light on my strobe, but after giving it more of an air gap, it has been fine since.

This polarizing filter is great. I've used it on lights of all kinds, profoto strobes, camera mount flashes, etc. The extinction coefficient is very high, meaning that two pieces of this stuff at 90 degrees is going to kill more light than any of your best circ. polarizing filters except the B&W Kasemann or Schneider MRC polarizing filters. Can be reused over and over....and I cut off sections to fit - just remember to mark the direction if you cut pieces off so you can mount them in the same directions if you are covering multiple lights.
