Advantages: Works, reasonably priced

Disadvantages: May be stiff at 1st

This is a good quality Circular Polarising filter - great when taking photos of reflective or shiny services such as windows, cars and water. Also takes some lovely pictures of skies!

Usage is easy - you simply screw it onto your lens, the outer part then can be rotated to have the desired effect on the surface you're photographing, the rotation level effects where and how much it stops reflections if you want some retained for effect.

This is one of many sizes they come in, there's probably a size for every lens.

As filters go it's fairly typical, it will do a much better job than the super cheap filters you can get off certain retailers. It's strong enough to not be a worry when carrying about and the glass doesn't scratch easily. It comes in a protective case you can keep it in when it's not in use.


I have found the rotating part to be somewhat stiffer than ideal for the first few uses, however it now works smoothly - even after I dropped it in a pond!

No complaints, the effects aren't as great as you'd probably get from a more expensive filter however this comes in at a much easier cost to swallow, it's great value for money.

Summary: All you'd expect and more!
