The Heliopan polarizing filter is sturdy. Darker than most which is what I was looking for. The Slim model works well with my full framed camera at 24mm. Where non slim did not fill in sky whole width across with polarizer. Only complaint would be the lens cap doesn't fit on filter. Really though, no problem, as I would buy this brand again.

I haven't had the thing very long. I've only had a few days out shooting with it. It works as described. I have a Canon 400D/XTi which is a cropped frame sensor so I can't comment on vignetting on a FF body. It didn't vignette on a 1.6 sensor w/ the Canon 17-40mm L or the 24mm TS. It seems well constructed. I didn't have any problems with flare so I don't understand why you would pay a lot more for the multicoated. I use a step down ring and use the filter on multiple lenses. Its seems pricey but its still a deal compared to the multi coated filters. I'm not sure you wanna go cheaper than this anyway.

With the Heliopan 105mm Slim Mount Wide Angle Circular Polarizer Filter, you can unlock new dimensions in your photography. This high-quality filter is color neutral, making it an ideal choice for both black and white and color film. Unlike colored filters, this circular polarizer filter allows you to adjust contrast and color saturation without altering the colors in your photograph.
Natural light, which spreads in a wave form in all directions, is polarized and has high color purity. However, as it passes through the atmosphere, part of it scatters, resulting in a blush gray haze over all colors. This innovative filter effectively reduces or eliminates this effect, enhancing the purity of your images.
When light falls at an angle of approximately 35½ onto a reflecting surface like water, glass, or plastic, it becomes reflected and polarized. This versatile filter, when properly oriented, absorbs these reflections, allowing the true colors to reach the film. As a result, water surfaces become transparent, and cloud colors are more saturated.
The Heliopan 105mm Slim Mount Wide Angle Circular Polarizer Filter is constructed with a neutral color foil cemented between two plane parallel glass discs. This design allows light rays to pass only in one plane. The filter is mounted in a calibrated rotating ring, making it easy to set the desired position and effect. The light loss of this filter varies between 1 and 1.5 F stops, which can be manually or automatically corrected depending on your camera type.
This circular polarizer filter is also equipped with a 1/4 wave plate in its construction. This component sets the polarized light in rotation, allowing it to pass without interruption through the measuring system for proper measurements. This feature makes it a recommended choice for auto focus lenses in video cameras.
Remember, to avoid overheating, it's advisable not to expose the polarizing filter to extreme temperatures. Enhance your photography with the durable and effective Heliopan 105mm Slim Mount Wide Angle Circular Polarizer Filter.
