Light rays which are reflected by any surface become polarised and polarising filters are used to select which light rays enter your camera lens. &#149; They allow you to remove unwanted reflections from non-metallic surfaces such as water, glass etc. &#149; They also saturate colors and increase contrast.  &#149;Polarizers come in two variations but have the same effect. Linear polarizers work with older camera meters; Circurlar polarizers are designed for today's newer split-beam metering systems used in auto focus cameras. Check your camera's manual.

I've owned this product in the past, and I trust this brand. It met all my expectations as a repeat customer.
It's not the best in the world but does what it's supposed to do in its price range.

Hoya Circular Polarizing Filter

Hoya filters are the best!

The right polarizer

Great polarizing filter

Excellent Deal - Good quality

Hoya Filter

Does what it says, great for taking surfing photos on bright sunny days

Great middle of the range filter

Mandatory for any trip

Good Qualty, as is generally expected from Hoya.

I needed one of these filters.  This one is perfect.

Good filter

Best investment you can do if you want to improve the quality of your photos.

Best CPL hands down.

Since I just managed to break  my knee I haven’t  had a chance to use the filter too much , but the few photos I took before my accident came out very good. (Submitted one)  All colors were natural looking and it removed exactly the amount of reflection I wanted. Good filter for the price.

Excellent Filter

Works consistently well, particularly in high contrast situations.

Reliable and Effective

Works good

I was surprised at when I received the filter, the glass was very dirty.  Either Adorama sent me a used one, or it came that way from Hoya.  With some difficulty, I did manage to get it mostly clean, although some of the film may be between the two pieces of glass.  

The images I have taken after cleaning it have been good.

questionable

The product its excellent and the price very good.

Nice product

I needed a polarizing filter to use for an upcoming trip by the ocean and islands where bright sunshine would be an issue.  Although I have not tested it at my preferred location, I did test it on bright sunny objects in Southern California.  Satisfied so far.

Works great on Nikon D5500 standard lens

Does what it should

The Hoya Alpha 67 has a deep outer ring for your cap and is VERY rugged, BUT.  Be careful of: 1. Possible vignetting with very wide lenses  2. Light reduction by 2/3 EV.  3. Pretty much all or nothing polarizing.  4. The HRT CIR-PL UV is often comparably priced and is a much more refined tool.  Alpha is happiest at the beach!

For Rough Bumps and Intense Sun

good

Fair price and good reaults

I know nothing about cameras but wanted to buy my Wife a filter for her camera.  I called and got tremendous advice and service.  I have purchased a camera - my Wife's - and a laptop - also my Wife's (I own nothing) - in years past.

Really Hellpful

Although this is just a filter, as important as these are, I found this Hoya to be thin, easily threaded and at a reasonable price.

Fine Filter

Hoya Polarizing Filter

Hoya makes excellent filters (and some beautiful crystal vases and decorative items).  The only reason this is 4 star rather than 5 is the somewhat thick/bulky nature of the filter.  But equivalent quality in a thinner filter would have been much more expensive.

GOOD QUALITY, REASONABLE COST

The Hoya CPL did a good job to reduce reflection and unwanted lights into camera. I am pleased with the reliable service of Adorama.

The Hoya CPL did a good job

Hoya makes the best filters for my money.  I have used Hoya filters for 66 years.  I had the same filter made in China and the threads were poorly made and did not thread on the lens I bought it for.  I threw it in the trash.

Hoya makes the best filters for my money

It is definitely does what it's advertised for but it's not of the same quality my other polarizer from Hoya. A little disappointed. It also seems to remove a couple stops of light, a bit more than the other, but that's fine given I'd be using this in bright daylight.
