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.

A necessity for your Canon XT kit lens February 16, 2008

It makes blue skies bluer and reflections truer. That's all you need to know. A great value for any photography you'll be doing on a clear day.
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.

I got it to darken the sky which it does when the sun is in the correct location. It can produce an overly dark sky but this is a known limitation of this type of filter. It does a good job of reducing glare.

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.
