Tiffen 67CP Slim 67mm Circular Polarizer Filter for Camera Lens, Glare Control, Contrast Increase, Color Enhancing

You could pay a lot more for a different brand and probably not even tell the difference. This filter works great and I've had no issues with quality nor problems with cross-threading onto the lenses.

I have never owned one of these before so when I got it I looked through both sides, turned it all the way around, and didn't notice any difference. I concluded that I received a defective filter. One poster here suggested to look through it into a mirror. One way it should look clear and the other, dark. It did!. Another person on YouTube suggested the same thing, but instead looking at a computer monitor. Again, clear one way, dark the other. Finally I took it outside and tried it on automobile reflections. Without the filter there was a wide splotch of glare on the hood of the car and with the filter, the splotch was reduced to a tight circle about the size of the sun, so it does work. After all, it was a direct reflection of the sun. As for bluer sky's, I tried that and it made them bluer (I think?). It also made pronounced differences on the grass color which was easier to see. Anyway, I understand that how much difference this makes is determined by the angle of the light so I have some more testing to do. Anyway, at first, I was ready to send this back because I didn't know what to expect or how to test it. This is one case when ignorance is not bliss. I have to assume that a better filter will be better, but for the price difference, this seems to be a good filter with which to get your feet wet and perhaps will be all that many of us need. On the issue of whether the filter degrades the image... I have only taken a few pictures, but I cannot see any degradation what-so-ever. If fact, I see an improvement in shadows making everything seems a little more defined.

In my experience Tiffen makes a very good filter and this one is no exception. Threads match nicely and the filter seats firmly yet is easily removed. The rotation of the filter is buttery smooth and stays put. The Tiffen adds a nice degree of polarization that gives colors a bit more saturation and contrast with a minor loss of overall transmission. If you're not shooting with a polarizing filter you probably don't realize just how much stray/reflected light is affecting your photo's. Once you see the difference a good filter like this can make you'll wonder why you didn't start using one sooner. Put your UV filter back in the bag and put something in front of your lens that will actually improve every shot. I've spent bigger money on other brands of filter (Hoya, B&W, et al) and I just don't see that money buying me a better filter. Maybe I'm missing something but, "the proof of the pudding is in the eating" and Tiffen filters do the job for me without breaking my budget.

Filter has same characteristics as the Hoya

The circular polarizer is my go-to filter for any photography involving reflections. It's an invaluable item for automotive photography to get the best possible shine, or for minimizing glare from water when doing nature photography. It also works great for urban photography for getting better reflections off of windows or glass in general. Fantastic filter, if it ever cracks or breaks, I'm absolutely getting another one from Tiffen.

this polarizer is awesome! it cuts down a lot of glare and makes skies look deeper with richer colors. the price is also great, especially for the quality. definitely recommend for real estate media, as long as your lens has filter threads! 📸

Arrived in great shape and it works.

For indoor use this is horrible, as expected. I had to try it, photographing a frog in a lit aquarium. It darkened things so much that the camera, set on auto, set the shutter speed so slow the frog left from the time the shutter opened to the time it closed. I got a frog blur. For outdoor use, this is perfect. It evens out the tones. It removes glare from reflective surfaces. It helps in taking amazing sunset photos. It screws on and off the lens easily and tightly. It's good at protecting the lens from dust as well as scratches. It comes in a nice storage case. I love it.

filtre polarisant efficace,élimine les reflets dans les vitres et fait ressortir la texture des nuages dans le ciel. Maintenant tout cela peut être fait en post traitement avec photoshop.

Fantastic.

The filter arrived on time and has been used occasionally. All polarising filters are good for reducing reflections off water and leaves, but be careful about over using them with wide angle lenses. Skies become very uneven and ugly if the filter is set too far.
