Product Description
By reducing the light reflected from non-metallic surfaces, polarizing filters allow direct shooting through glass windows and reduce the effect of glare from water surfaces and sunlit trees and grass. In outdoor shooting, the filter can even deal effectively with light reflected on steam or airborne dust particles to enhance the sky's blue color.

 Disappointed July 29, 2010

I bought this polarizing filter to use on my Nikon 24-70 mm f2.8 lens and while I think it is superbly constructed, I admit to being disappointed by the results. Other reviews talk of the filter bringing out the blue sky and making colors pop. But, I find the differences so subtle that I'm actually having trouble using the filter. While I can see subtle - and desirable - differences when I view pics on the computer, it is very difficult to see the effect when composing thru-the-lens and while viewing the pic on the camera's display. That has also led me to wish that the filter had setting marks that could be used to determine just how it is set. Instead, the outer lens can be rotated infinitely, and, without the ability to really see what's happening thru-the-lens, results are hit and miss. One other slight complaint is that I find it can be difficult to unscrew the filter from the lens since the outer ring turns, making it necessary to try and grasp the very fine inner ring.
 Excellent CPL Filter for Nikon lenses June 10, 2010

I have had this filter for about 2 months now and I have used it extensively. It is always on my lens for daylight photography. The sky looks noticeably blue and colors look saturated and haze is minimized.
If I had one thing to complain about, it is painful to use with the hood on, as the hood gets in the way while you are trying to adjust the filter for the optimal effect. Another remark (not about the filter though) is that the plastic case which holds the filter when it is not in use. The push-fastener which opens and closes the case is not properly designed. It has a tendency to get stuck and get unstuck without warning.

This filter works great for me. It has a very solid build as expected with Nikon glass.
Great filter. May 25, 2010

I bought this for two trips into Central America and loved it. The filter ring adjusts easily, yet doesn't creep from where you set it. The threads on the main ring have been solid through a bunch of removals. And my shots looked great. Just wish I didn't like switching between portrait and landscape so much because I sometimes forgot to turn the filter 90 degrees. Ooops.
I also run with a UV protection filter and that worked fine screwing onto the front of this.
Works Great! May 13, 2010

I bought this filter for a trip to Greece. The filter worked amazing bringing out the blue in the skys and the water. I love this filter! I had no problems with it staying on. I would recommend this to any one looking for a polarizing filter.
