| Adorama - Lens hood - black - rubber
by Adorama Camera
Lens hoods guard against uncontrolled, stray light and unwanted reflections, which result in reduced contrast and possible "ghost Images". In general, the use of a lens hood is recommended because better contrast improves the appearance of the photograph. This accessory also offers protection for the front lens element against rain and mechanical damage. Rubber Lens Hood is made out of a high quality matte black rubber. It folds down and protects against contrast - reducing, uncontrolled, stray...

Product Description
The Tiffen 52CP 52MM Circular Polarizer is a sophisticated accessory that selects which light rays enter your camera lens. Once reflected, light rays become polarized, often with undesirable effects. Polarizers remove unwanted reflections from non-metallic surfaces such as water or glass, and also saturate colors, improving contrast. |
Amazon.com Product Description
A circular polarizer has the same effect as a polarizer and is used on cameras with beam-splitting metering systems commonly found on autofocus SLRs. |

I can't tell if it works or not by Mary Beal (Prescott, AZ United States)  4 Stars
November 24, 2009
A friend told me to get a circular polarizing filter for my canon lens so the sky here (which is always blue) would pop if there were any clouds. I needed a protective filter anyway so thought I'd try it. I really cannot tell the difference when I move the lens as to the difference in polarization. But, it is a protector for my nice canon lens, even though it is a bit too expensive than just a plain polarizer lens,for just that purpose.

Does exactly what I expected! by Albert C. Mach II  5 Stars
November 21, 2009
I have had many polarizers over the years. I have used filters such as this for over 25 years. I like the Tiffen as it is not too dark for most uses. I keep it on for almost every shot (unless it is night time or quite dark) to protect my lenses and for it's mild polarizing effect. (I take 1000s of images on a shoot, mostly landscape) Some other brands are too dark to do this. The dark ones many times look too polarized, and post processing has to take much of this out anyway. I do have a few of these and use them occasionally. I have found that an image that is properly balanced that does not need too much darkening or lightening post processing is much better, I have a Hoya but it is always falling apart (and way too dark). I have Heliopan 77mm Circular Polarizer Lens Filters and like the quality, but again they are too dark to keep on all the time. The Heliopan is the one I keep for special uses when I want more polarizing effects than I get with the Tiffen. The Tiffen polarizers I have had only were replaced when they became too scratched for use, broken from being dropped or run into things, or lost over board in my boat. As I said a couple of Hoya ones were replaced because they fell apart.
I use a Canon 5D with all high end L series lenses (most costing well over $1000.00) and have sold over 1300 framed GiClees ($300-$800 each). I feel that this filter does not compromise the quality of my images.
So in review. I don't want an unnatural appearance due to my filters. I do want the pleasing effects I can achieve with the Tiffen filter. I have never had a problem with any I had purchased, so recommend them to others. And I will continue to use them myself.

I ordered this for my mom, who had dropped hers and bent the rim. This was priced very fairly, and it works well.

Good fitler by H. H. Huang (California, USA) 4 Stars

This filter does the work very well. The only issue when used on the Canon EOS camera is that the lens cap does not fit tightly. For the price, it is a good filter.

| Tiffen 52mm Neutral Density 0.6 Filter
by Tiffen
Neutral Density filters reduce the amount of light passing through the camera lens without changing the color of the scene. They are especially useful in bright light conditions to help prevent overexposure. They also allow proper exposure at a wider lens opening for reduced depth-of-field to highlight a key subject by making the foreground and/or background out of focus.
