Hoya - Filter - circular polarizer - 43 mm

Product Description:

Light rays that are reflected by any surface become polarized and polarizing filters are used to select which light rays enter your camera lens. PL (Linear Polarizing) and PL-CIR (Circular Polarizing) filters have the same effect, but it is important that you choose the correct version for your camera. They allow you to remove unwanted reflections from non-metallic surfaces such as water, glass etc. They also enable colors to become more saturated and appear clearer, with better contrast. This effect is often used to increase the contrast and saturation in blue skies and white clouds. HOYA's polarizing filters do not affect the overall color balance of a shot.

Glass is fine, but construction is cheap2009-06-24
The glass for this polarizer worked great. The only problem was that the retaining ring that holds the spinning glass element to the screw mount for the lens popped after only a handful of uses, rendering it useless. I initially liked this one better than the sunpak filterrs because it was thinner, but the construction seemed to be cheap. I may have just gotten a dud, but a product shouldn't fail after being used only a handful of times.
Hoya 58CIR 58mm Circular Polarized Filter2009-06-06
This is good filter for the price. Works as it should. Turns fairly smoothly. No complaints, really. I would purchase again. Recommended.
Decent product, made in Philippines instead of Japan (as shown in pic)2009-06-05
The product is of decent quality, and rotating the filter while shooting at 90 degree to the sun light provides the best effect. Did not encounter significant amount of glare even though this is not Hoya HMC coated.

Only surprise: display picture for item on Amazon list the item as made in Japan, maybe due to the vendor (DBROTH), but the received product is actually made in Philippine.

Overall the product does what it's made to do.
Works Great - Excellent Price2009-05-31
Not much else to say outside of the title "Works Great - Excellent Price".

The rotation of the circular polarizer is a little stiff out of the box, but I suppose that is a good thing as it's only going to get looser with use.

Get a nice polarized effect on both water or sky in pictures taken thus far.

Definitely a good value for your 58mm attachments.
I can really see the difference2009-05-14
I love this polarizer. I use it ALL the time. When I turn it I can really see the difference in the blue in the sky and it's also fun to point my camera at my laptop and watch the screen turn completely black as I turn the polarizer. I couldn't take pictures without this.
