Product Description
Light rays that are reflected by any surface become polarized and polarizing filters are used to select which light rays enter your camera lens. PL (Linear Polarizing) and 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.

58mm Lens filter September 5, 2008

You don't have to be a professional to appreciate what a polarized lens filter can do for your camera. If you have ever worn polarized sun-glasses, you already know what that technology does in terms of clarity and visual enhancement.
Good starter filter. July 29, 2008

Well, I think this polarized filter is probably the best for the price. I'm brand new to DSL' and I kept stumbling over discussion's about polarized filter's and went looking for one. It's true that you get what you pay for. Theres less expensive ones and certainly more expensive circular polarized filter's. There seemed to be a big jump in price (maybe around $60.00)from this price to a better quality filter. So, for your first try at using a polarized filter's, I think this is a fair price. Granted theres better quality out there.
Great transaction! July 29, 2008

I love this filter, took me a second to figure out where to spin it to, but once i marked my 0,45, and 90 degree positions taking pictures of water, mirrors and the sky started coming out just like i wanted. I think everyone should have a polarized filter in their kit. and this filter kicks booty for the price.
Exactly as expected - like having x-ray vision June 9, 2008

We put this filter on our Canon S3 IS and took a picture of a car. With filter, we can see through the glass windows into the interior. No filter, we see reflections and glare on the glass. Mission accomplished! This filter does exactly what we want such a filter to do. Comes in a good hard plastic box to protect it (some of our other filters from other makes come in paper boxes or simple cloth bags). Price was nicely competitive.
