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 (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.
Customer Reviews
Average Rating: 
Rating:  - seems to work well
This filter seems to work well. It is fairly thin to avoid blacking out the corners.
Rating:  - Polarizer a Must
Polarizer works well with my Canon 40D camera. I keep it on at all times when I am taking pictures outdoors. The colors are much more vibrant. It also takes the glare off windows when taking pictures from inside. Just turn the polarizer and watch the glare disappear.
Rating: - Good polarizer - some vignetting
In general a nice inexpensive polarizer. Got some very nice pictures on a sunny day in the Swiss Alps.
However, the ring is quite thick. This led to some vignetting when I had my Nikon VR18-200 in the 18-35mm range in some shots.
Note that unlike the HMC UV filter I have from Hoya, which is made in Japan, this less expensive filter is made in the Philippines. Definitely not the same quality.
Rating: - good
It came without any scratches, and the rotating filter is smooth. I have not had the chance to install it yet, but the construction (so far) is pretty well built.
Rating: - Great Filter
Great performance as expected from Hoya at an outstanding price. Filter effectively removes glare and provides a nice contrast to landscaping shops. A must for any outdoor photographer.
Take care not to over-tighten. Without groves filter can be difficult to remove from lens.
