EDITORIAL REVIEWS


Product Description
Light rays, which are reflected by any surface, become polarized and polarizing filters are used to select which light rays enter your camera lens. 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.

May be damaged, still unsure? by Don K (Atlanta, GA USA) 4 Stars
February 27, 2009
This Circular Polarizer is very nice and heavy and very clean out of the package. The only thing that I'm worried about is that there is a tiny ring inside just around the glass itself that is cracked and kind of warped, but still inside it's track. I have researched photos to see if this is broken but a few pictures of the item for sale new seem to show the same crack in the ring - fingers crossed. Also, I bought it along with the Amazon recommended HMC UV(0) filter and I have to agree that when you put them both together they are very hard to get apart. It's great quality though very heavy, clean and nicely milled around its edge.

Hoya circular polarizer by Ray Harclerode 5 Stars

The Hoya circular polarizer functions extremely well and, as far as I have been able to discern, does not decrease the sharpness nor add optical aberrations to the final prints I have made.

Must have filter by Frequency 4 Stars

This filter is great and a must have for any lens. I don't know if the S-HMC filter is worth the extra money since this one seems to do the job quite well.
