Good for prosumer cameras and kit lenses

photoenthusiast Jun 25, 2008

A circular polarizer (CPL) makes a huge difference to landscapes, and I would say it is one of the few filters that we all need in this digital age where the effects of many other filter effects can be post-processed. It reduces reflections from water and glass, and dramatically increases contrast in blue skies and clouds. The differences are very clear when you shoot landscapes or water bodies. This particular version is the lowest end Hoya CPL filter, and is a great filter for prosumer cameras and for cheaper kit lenses on SLRs. I use this on my old Canon G3 (with an adapter), and it works beautifully. But if you put this one in front of really good lenses, like some of the fast Canon prime lenses or the L-series zooms (on an SLR or a DSLR), you WILL see an appreciable decrease in image quality (ghosting, flares, etc), due to reflection from internal elements, and a noticeable decrease in contrast. You will need HMC or SHMC filters (which are multi-coated to prevent reflections) for those lenses to perform to their capacity. As always, the price here is quite good, cheaper than I have seen on any other reputable site.

Great deal

polytch from Valencia, CA, Mar 22, 2008

I'm new to SLR cameras, and this is one of the first filters I've bought. Aside from that, I think this is a great filter that really brings out those blue tones in the sky. Compared to some of the other filters I've tried, I find that Hoya filters take a little more time to screw onto the lens. Overall, I do recommend this lens - especially at this price.

Nice product

Jakkolb from Corvallis, Or, Feb 16, 2008

I was looking for a filter for my camera and at the camera store this filter was $45 dollars. When I found it on Overstock for less that half the cost with frieght I was very supprised. I purchase this filter and it was exactly what I was looking for and it worked just fine.

Excellent hoya filter

Giaocomo from New York, N.Y., Jan 25, 2008

Hoya, a well known name in filters, has continued to manufacture excellent glass filters. The circular filter is an excellent choice for anyone who takes landscape or other outdoor photographs. By rotating the filter one can eliminate lens glare, and reflections off water surfaces. Overstock offers an entire line of these top-rated filters at competitive prices....
