PolarPro 82-CP 82-CP 82 mm Circular Polarizer Filter - Black

It's awesome. Build quality is premium.

Very well made, nicest filter I ever used. No vignetting, that is why I stopped using them. I do not use variable ones. Look if you are in. The sun you slap this on and open the aperture wide open and your good. The polarizing part is really useful. You basically can turn it off, point it at the sky and you will see as you turn it the sky get blue. Point it at a car or a house window and watch how it removes the refection. Best looking filters too. The gold and the tint over the glass, just looks high end. The case is solid and rubber ti protect. Hands down the only filter I use if its sunny out. Forget variables. Why would you buy an expensive full frame lens with expensive glass and throw some $20 filter on it? Get the 82 or 77 and use step rings. You dont need to buy one for every lens. Inly filters That I will ever use again. Polar pro makes excellent step ring too. It is built for these filters, that is another thing, no cheap step rings. That is where id buy individually. Like 77-82 or 67-82 but one filter, get the best or cheap out. If you own nice gear.

Does what it should and looks amazing. Premium box too. Would rate it 5 if it wouldn’t get stuck so easily on my lens, making it VERY hard to unscrew at times… you might need a filter tool, be aware of that.

This is the second PolarPro filter I have bought, the first being the also wonderful ND8PL! This filter however is much more useful as I rarely if ever use a tripod, so the more light gathered is huge to me! I use this mainly on my Nikon 24-70mm f2.8E VR lens and also plan to use it from time to time on my 16-35mm f4 VR with a step-up ring. I don't ever use my ND8PL anymore as it sucks up at least 3-stops of light and I'm not a fan of tripods, so this CP is awesome and with the excellent VR on the new 24-70mm I can get sharp shots at 1/10th of second all day. Also I love the build quality, presentation and look of these filters. They are definitely worth every penny and better than the competition in almost every way. The one draw-back and it's kinda important to me is that you CAN'T use a lens hood with these filters attached. None of my lenses with these in place allow the hood to fit over the filter's knurled edges and thats a real disappointment. I use lens hoods 100% of the time indoors or out and in any lighting day or night. So I do hate that about these filters, however since they do have great anti-reflection coatings and what not you can get away without a hood, but thats only one part, the main point of the hood is to protect the lens.

Filtre de qualité, le rendu est beau

Expensive filters are expensive but unlike most things thats just priced more expensive, you do get a premium product for the extra premium you pay.The least amount of colour cast i seen in any filter. Its not a must have for photographers since you can easily correct colours but much harder for video. What is a few hundred in a landscape where lenses cost 1-3k
