Comments about Nikon Nikon 77mm Circular Polarizer II Thin Ring Multi-Coated Glass Filter:

I have been using polarizing filters for over 35 years. POLS are an essential tool for every serious photographer. Polarizing filters are very effective in enhancing blue skies and fluffy white clouds. Among other applications, they are particularly useful when photographing bodies of water, waterfalls, geysers and fountains. The Nikon 77mm Circular Polarizer II meets Nikon's typical high quality. The filter is very well made and does a great job. While more expensive than some, you get what you pay for - a very high quality optical filter.

The Nikon Circular Polarizer II works perfectly whenever a Polarizer is required.
It doesn't add a color cast like many lessor CP filters do and is less prone to flare as well.

Comments about Nikon Nikon 77mm Circular Polarizer II Thin Ring Multi-Coated Glass Filter:

Polarizer filters should always be part of the basic filter set. It's the key to rich saturated color photos, high contrast between sky and clouds, and turquoise blue seas. You'll love it. This one is high optical quality and of precision workmanship. The filter is multicoated and lets in more light than a conventional polarizer; very important in AF response. Moreover, it features a thin mounting ring that eliminates any chance of mechanical vignetting on wide angle zooms. All these features, which you pay for, give you extra advantage. Keep in mind to treat this filter with care because it is more delicate than a conventional thick ring polarizer, and the multicoating scratches easy.

Very thin and well-built. Works beautifully. Real Nikon quality.

Comments about Nikon Nikon 77mm Circular Polarizer II Thin Ring Multi-Coated Glass Filter:

Thin, easy to use, Nikon glass.

Yes, a bit tricky to get off of the lens when tighly applied but I think the snug fit is a benefit.

Comments about Nikon Nikon 77mm Circular Polarizer II Thin Ring Multi-Coated Glass Filter:

Great value for a Nikon. Best price around for the "real deal." No generic knock-off here. Thanks, Adorama.

Comments about Nikon Nikon 77mm Circular Polarizer II Thin Ring Multi-Coated Glass Filter:

I would have no other polarizer on my Nikon f2.8 70-200 lens.

Yes, it is a bit thin and can be a bit tricky to get off the lens. I had no problems with the lens cover attaching to it securely.

Nikon again surpasses with great optical quality. Well built, thin mount filter to enhance skies and colors generally, and makes those window reflections disappear.

Comments about Nikon Nikon 77mm Circular Polarizer II Thin Ring Multi-Coated Glass Filter:

Excellent build. Worth the money.

Comments about Nikon Nikon 77mm Circular Polarizer II Thin Ring Multi-Coated Glass Filter:

Love this filter.

Other PRO:
-Does not vignette on Nikon 12-24 AF-S DX at 12 mm
-Solid Construction

Other CON:
- Sticky sometimes when stacked on a Nikon 77 NC Clear filter. Have had to use a rubber band to remove the polarizer after use. DO NOT screw it on too tightly!!
- SLIGHT corner darkening (but not real vignetting) when stacked on Nikon 12-24 AF-S DX Lens WITH Nikon 77 NC clear filter.

Comments about Nikon Nikon 77mm Circular Polarizer II Thin Ring Multi-Coated Glass Filter:

The thin profile of the Nikon CPL produced no noticeable vignette on my 24-70 @ 24 f/2.8 (full frame). Light reduction about 2 stops. Nice plastic case for storage. High quality CPL filter comes at a price...

Comments about Nikon Nikon 77mm Circular Polarizer II Thin Ring Multi-Coated Glass Filter:

I consistently use a polarizer. I tried the new Nikon for its wide angle capability. It vignettes terrribly at 24mm. And for whatever reason the coating is flaking off. I wish I could return this product. Today I am purchashing the B+W polarizer and hoping for better.

Comments about Nikon Nikon 77mm Circular Polarizer II Thin Ring Multi-Coated Glass Filter:

Attached to my Sigma wideangle lens (10-20mm), it provides uniform polarization. The contrast of blue and green are noticeably more significant than Hoya's 55mm.

Comments about Nikon Nikon 77mm Circular Polarizer II Thin Ring Multi-Coated Glass Filter:

Use with the Pentax DA*16-50, the lens cap fits nicely over the filter, the filter doesn't darken the edges. Turns easily through the window in the side of the hood.

This is a required piece of equipment for outdoor photography. It is the only filter I own.

Perfect polarizerfor igh quality Nikon Lenses.
Worth to invest in.

Comments about Nikon Nikon 77mm Circular Polarizer II Thin Ring Multi-Coated Glass Filter:

I bought this polarizer to use with my Nikkor 18-200 mm lens for a recent trip to France. The effect on my photos was amazing: blue skies, puffy white clouds, etc. Easy to use with a 72/77 adapter ring.

This is the first polarizer I've used, so can't compare it to other brands, but I'm very happy with my purchase.

Comments about Nikon Nikon 77mm Circular Polarizer II Thin Ring Multi-Coated Glass Filter:

I don't plan a shoot outdoors without it in my bag.

Comments about Nikon Nikon 77mm Circular Polarizer II Thin Ring Multi-Coated Glass Filter:

Semi- professional.

The Nikon circular polarizer II rotates smoothly ,it doesn't fall off the lens during rotation. Your Nikon lens cap will stay on with the polarizer attached. This is the third circular polarizer that I've purchased but only the first one that the lens cap didn't fall off every time I turned around. As for the creative side of the polarizer- that's left up to the person behind the camera. The nikon polarizer will give you what you need and then soon!!!!!

Just received this, but in testing, it does not vignette at 17mm on my 17-55 f/2.8, used in combination with (over top of) a Tiffen UV filter. Appears also to accept the lens cap competently, although does not fully engage it. Images below from my D70, straight off the card, unedited.

I was having cheperone,i was not satisfide.Hence I bought this,This one ohh,wow.Simlply beautiful results.

Comments about Nikon Nikon 77mm Circular Polarizer II Thin Ring Multi-Coated Glass Filter:

I bought the Nikon 77mm circular polarizer II for use on my 18-200mm VR lens because my standard (Hoya) polarizer caused vignetting when used with the (B&W) 72->77mm step-up ring;
the Nikon does NOT cause vignetting, and is very well constructed as well (and multicoated, and comes with a nice case).

Comments about Nikon Nikon 77mm Circular Polarizer II Thin Ring Multi-Coated Glass Filter:

Everything worked great with the filter. My only problem was it was very hard to remove from the B+W 72-77 step up ring I was using due to the thin filter and spinning element. Two rubber bands solved that minor issue. Works great on the Nikon 18-200 with step up ring, and the 80-400 too!

Comments about Nikon Nikon 77mm Circular Polarizer II Thin Ring Multi-Coated Glass Filter:

Excellent but being so thin it is hard to remove if it is tightened on the lense. If it is not really tight on the lense it falls off because you are constantly rotating it. (I just "fished" mine out of a river.)

Unknown if this is an edge sealed pola (Kaesmann).

Slim profile perfect with 12-24 but cannot be grabbed with 70-200 or 300mm.

No problems with reflections like some other polas I have bought and returned. Needs to be dedicated to one WA lense and tightened down.

Comments about Nikon Nikon 77mm Circular Polarizer II Thin Ring Multi-Coated Glass Filter:

A polarizer is one of the must-have filters. It will saturate colors, and it cuts reflections which can let you see through water or control highlights off reflective surfaces. I would recommend the Nikon polarizer to anyone, it does exactly what it should do.

I replaced a Cokin P system polarizer with this Nikon polarizer. The Cokin tended to unscrew itself from the lens when rotated. The Nikon, on the other hand, turns very easily without unscrewing itself.

Only my Tokina 12-24mm zoom has 77mm threads. I use a step up ring to fit the filter to my other lenses. Being thin, the filter only just starts to darken the corners of the image at the shortest focal length of the Tokina. It is no problem on any other lens. Beware though that autofocus may struggle at times with an f5.6 lens because the filter steals a stop or two of light.

The only trouble I have is removing the filter from the step-up ring because the filter is so thin it is hard to grip the non-rotating part. There is a way to hold the two items so that the polarizer unscrews really easily, you just have to remember how.

Comments about Nikon Nikon 77mm Circular Polarizer II Thin Ring Multi-Coated Glass Filter:

This filter give excellent result. I would buy it over any other products/brands.

Comments about Nikon Nikon 77mm Circular Polarizer II Thin Ring Multi-Coated Glass Filter:

I bought this filter to replace my normal Hoya polarizers that were vignetting at the 24mm setting on my new Canon 24-105mm Zoom. Not only is the vignetting gone at 24mm, it is also nonexistant at the 17-24mm settings on my Canon 17-40 Zoom. Clarity and color are first rate and the filter also has a bit of thread ahead of the glass making it easy to attach a snap-on lens cap! A pricey filter but worth it, I bought two!

Comments about Nikon Nikon 77mm Circular Polarizer II Thin Ring Multi-Coated Glass Filter:

I use the Nikon 77mm Polorizer (thin ring)on my Nikon DX wide angle lens. It provides excellant optics and protection for my expensive lens. This particular polarizer is expensive and takes extra care when mounting and it seems to have a loose fit. Also, the standard Nikon Lens Cap will not work on the filter. Without the added protection of a lens cap I am always concerned that the filter could be broken.

Comments about Nikon Nikon 77mm Circular Polarizer II Thin Ring Multi-Coated Glass Filter:

Nikon name means Nikon quality. This circular polarizer is no exception. Build quality and optics are excellent with no vignetting on my Nikor 18-200mm at 18mm. Having used other brands I prefer the quality and the final result that this Nikon polarizer gives me.

Comments about Nikon Nikon 77mm Circular Polarizer II Thin Ring Multi-Coated Glass Filter:

For the most part, I have switched my filters to multi-coated to help minimize any possibility of glare. At this point, they're almost all Hoya S-HMC's, although for some larger sizes I've had to go with B&W. While I normally wouldn't specifically buy a Nikon or Canon brand filter, in this case I think the Nikon is the best choice. Many of the better Circular Polarizer which are the normal 5mm filter thickness have no front threads, so attaching a standard lens cap becomes a problem. Others have front threads, but are thicker than 5mm, and that could mean vingnetting. The Nikon is multicoated on both sides, is 5mm thick and has front threads. I have no problem using the standard Nikon lens caps or hoods with this filter. Although I haven't used them, the Hoya Pro 1 filters appear to be similar at 5mm thick with front threads. However, they are considerably more expensive than the Nikon. I have heard rumors that Hoya might be the manufacturer for Nikon's filters, although I cannot find any confirmation of this. They do seem nearly identical to me.
