This 62mm Circular Polarizer Filter from Hoya helps to reduce reflections and glare by filtering out light that has become polarized due to reflection from non-metallic surfaces. By eliminating ultraviolet rays, this filter removes haze from outdoor shots and polarizes the light to remove reflections and increase color saturation, all without affecting the overall color balance. The effect is visible through the viewfinder and can be changed by rotating the filter. The filter factor varies according to how the filter is rotated and its orientation to the sun.

Hoya Circular Polarizer Reviews
Bad flaring and color
I bought this filter when I was new to photography. As I moved on to fancier lenses, I started buying better filters. I decided to use a small lightweight non-pro lens at a car show and brought this 58mm Hoya circular polarizer with me. It had been years since I used this filter and I forgot how bad it is. The flaring was horrible, so much haze across the image if the light hit the filter at a certain angle. Having a lens hood on didn't help. I now see this polarizer is not coated, so that explains the flaring. Then while processing the photos, I noticed this filter imparted a warmish magenta tone to the images. I don't get any flaring or color issues with the B+W polarizers I have. They cost more, but after this performance, I know they're worth it. This Hoya polarizer ended up making my photos look like they were taken with an old point-and-shoot film camera from the 1980s.
Excellent Service!
The filter was exactly what I ordered, fit perfectly, and arrived well-packaged and on time! I will definitely order from this company again! Thank you!
