PolarPro 135 Series Chroma CPL Reviews

Great polarizer!!

This is hands down one of if not the best polarizers I have used. I have never had any x cross issues or found color shift to be an issue. I have several of these that reside full time on my lenses. As a landscape photographer they are essential and the case that also doubles as a lens cap has actual saved my lens from a fate worse than death when I tripped in rocky terrain.

Never Again

I picked up a 77 and 82 CPL from Polar Pro because i had heard just how great these filters were. Put the 82 on my 40mm ART lens and after an hour or so of shooting, it almost didn't come off. Finally got it off and then tried the 77 on my beloved 70-200. A week later and it's still not off. Stuck and will not come off. Now i realize that filters do get stuck from time to time, and it has happened to me, but this is ridiculous. They're way too thin and besides that, cant really tell that there is any effect with images. I've never had any issues like this with my Breakthrough or Nisi filters. I thought i would try them and see what they were about because i had heard so many good things about them. Never again. That was a $300 miscue. I'll stick with my Breakthrough filters.
