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. - www.facebook.com/SprayFoamProsLafayette/ Weakness:

Strength:
I bought this today as an alternative to more expensive polarizers. Dumpster Rental figured, yeah, it's not going to perform as well, but it should be good enough. I was wrong. Weakness:
The problems start before you even put this on your lens. That is if you can get it on your lens. The threading sucks, and even at its tightest, mine never screws on flush with the lens barrel and always feels loose. Purchased: New

Strength:
It works
Weakness:
Can't use with through the lens phase detecting focus systems, i.e., all SLR's. Works great on contrast based focusing cameras like the Lumix LX-7.

Created significant focusing problems. Purchased a Sunpak CP filter while on a trip to Boston - My camera a Fuji HS10 Is pretty new so I didn't have a chance to buy one before. I experienced the focus problem from the beginning and found it to be quite erratic but usually occurred at the max telephoto position - 30X. Played around with it at various lens zooms and lighting conditions and even found that at short distances and low zoom it sometimes rendered the auto-focus unusable.
Customer Service Mmmmm- ok I guess but could have been better. Similar Products Used: Hoya CP - was superb.with my Nikon 8800 |

Strength:
The price is great for this type of product.
Weakness:
The design of the circular polarizer makes it difficult to take off or put back on. Despite what many others have written about this product, I believe this circular polarizer is about as good as you can get for this item's price range. Also, I believe that much of the negative criticism over this product is due to the fact that many simply don't understand how a circular polarizer works.
Similar Products Used: I have not used any other polarizers before, but have researched them extensively. |

Useless. Causes severe blurred images. I purchased the 72mm circular polarizer from Best Buy for my Nikon 18-200mm lens. I took a few shots with the filter in place. The images came out blurred to the extent the photos were useless. Removed the filter and all was sharp again. Don't waste your money. I did, and now I seriously regret it. |

none Every photo I took with my new uv filer had green streaks running through out the image? Not sure what caused this but as soon as I took it off, all was good. Good thing I had my lap top with me to view photos otherwise my entire shoot would have been ruined. |

horrible filter - i got a new lens and when i shoot my first pictures with this polarizer on, i thought the lens is brocken, the images where unsharp and blurry, thought the polarizer worked fine by itself. However, the lens wasn;t broken, as i found out after removing the polarizer... |
