Product Description
These popular filters are renowned for their ability to minimize reflection at the filter surfaces, which reduces flare and ghosting. The result is an average light transmission of over 97%, giving sharp contrast and well-balanced color. HOYA HMC filters are recommended for enhancing the performance of today's multicoated lenses.

A good polarizer October 21, 2008
Jason T. Echols (Pflugerville, TX)
It is a good polarizer and produces a quality image. I wish they included a dust cap or some other protection with it, however that is typically found on higher-end polarizers.

Seems good. I'm no expert on filters. It seems a bit dark to me and seems to make the colors more bland and grey, which it shouldn't, but maybe I don't know what I'm doing. Fits good and has good build quality. Glass seems very nice.

Mine was broken on arrival. After some careful super glue applications it works just fine!
I've had Tiffen filters but these HOYA's rock! Try get the SuperHMC or better series.

A polarizer is among the accessories every photographer should have with them when shooting outdoors during the day. While not all digital camera's require a circular polarizer to avoid problems with focusing, some do and most specifically this will be a necessity for dSLR's. Most super zoom digital camera's can get by with a linear polarizer which will cost a little less.
For those of you purchasing a polarizer, the Hoya HMC tends to be very well regarded because of the coatings used to reduce the amount of reflected light while minimizing reflection. For capturing the sky, landscape photography, cutting glass or water reflections, and cutting glare - the Hoya does a pretty good.
Caring for filters with multiple coatings such as the HMC requires that you make sure to follow the manufacturers recommendations, typically suggesting owners stick with no cleaning agents or those specifically designed to lift oils without eroding the coatings. In my experience, a combination of blower, brush, and soft cotton microweave cloth are all you need to keep the filter clean but for tougher issues like salt water spray, a clean and soft cloth that is moistened with tap water will help return the filter back to great condition. My first Hoya HMC was actually ruined because I tried to muscle out salt water spray which had dried on the filter, between the ruined coatings, scratches, and tiny pits this low cost but important accessory was ruined.
