Review Summary

B+W filters were recommended for quality at the Canon photography class I took, in particular the slim/thin versions which reduce the risk of vignetting. The downside to the slim version is that it is not threaded on the outer side, so 1) you can't add a filter on top of it, and 2) your regular lens cap won't work. It comes with its own lens cap that works well but has a tendency to fall off, so you'll want to buy one of those tethers that sticks onto the lens cap with adhesive and attaches to your lens with elastic.

• Polarizer filters evenly increase color saturation of all colors (except black and white), creating deep, rich scenics.
• They add contrast for dramatic skies and ariel shots.
• Polarizers also eliminate glare from highly reflected surfaces like glass and water.
• Polarizers are two part lenses that rotate, allowing you to select the degree of additional saturation, contrast and glare reduction desired.
•They come in two varieties.
• Circular-for all types of cameras (required for beam splitting metering systems commonly found in auto-focus SLR's and in most current TTL Slr's; check your camera's manual).
• Linear-for rangefinders and older SLR metering systems.
