Strength:

Manfrotto's finest is on display in this tripod. If you have truly SERIOUS photography desires, this tripod will support anything you care to mount on it, and support it in the very most stable fashion. -semi truck engine repair

Strength:

It works just as a circular polarizer should, by twisting a ring, reflections can be easily eliminated. It also darkens blue skies and increases overall contrast and saturation. The intensity of the effect can be adjusted too. | spray foam insulation near me

Strength:

It gives Rocklin Stone Masonry both good protection as well as a number of useful features that actually work, including an anti-stain coating that makes it easy and quick to clean the filter when needed.

Weakness:

None so far.

Strength:

Sometimes a good brand is not synonymous with quality. In this case, Kenko has quite disappointed me: the polarizer acts more like an ND than what it would have to be, and the photos are not as sharp as I would want. I'm thinking of giving it back...

Strength:

Good polarization. Very similar to the Hoya version. Basically, I find no difference between the two except that the Hoya cost me around $80[us] new.

Weakness:

A bit thick though.Makes you lose about 2 stops of exposure but so does the Hoya

77mm.Solid built. Smooth adjuster.

Weakness:

None, really.

Just watch out when turning the filter's ring, because its thin profile can cause a finger to appear in the photo.

This filter I got for a bargain!

I have a one with a 52 mm thread.

It had some stains on the outer surface, but they came off with a lens cloth and fluid. Other than that, it was in very good condition.

Strength:

Good construction, appears that it has a mix of 81A warming filter.

Weakness:

Wish it came in a soft case rather than the hard plastic case for carrying purposes.

I have Kenko 67mm Circluar Polarizer and I really really like it. I have used and compared with Hoya and Tiffen circular polarizers and found it to be a whole lot better and consistently producing pleasing results. Even though Kenko don't advertise it but it appear that there is a mix of 81A warming filter to it. I recently been to Glacier N.P. in Montana and got some very pleasing results. In fact I just purchased a Multi coated DMC Kenko circular polarizer this week for my Nikon 18-200mm VR lens after considering Hoya's Moose Filter.

Strength:

Price (barely)

Weakness:

Does not filter out all reflections

The verall construction of this filter appeared OK, but it is really the quality of the glass and how effective it is. Having a Hoya polarizer to compare it to I quickly returned the Kenko to the store for a refund The filter allowed approximately 15% more reflection to remain when compared to the Hoya If you are looking for a reasonable Polarizer this one is OK If you want really BLACK water effects - buy the Hoya
