Questions & Answers

Shopper : What lenses does this fit?RAYMOND T : I use this on my Canon EF 500mm f/4 L lense. I know it also fits the Canon 600mm lense. I believe it is a standard drop-in size for all of the Canon "Big" L lenses.GLEN M : Sounds like a better question for your vendor, Canon. They might know what they sell. I'm surprised you don't.BLAINE K : It fits all canon 300 2.8L, 400 2.8L, 500 f4L, 600 f4L and 800 F5.6L regardless of the lens being a mk1 or mk2 model.SUE G : the Drop-in filter in question is for the 300mm f/4 lens. The lens actually drops INSIDE the 300mm near the base of the lens.HAL P : Have all the big long lens (400-800) that use a drop-in and not had a problem with this or the other version. Appears the difference was model change and price increase.
TJ D : does this item comes complete with filter holder?RAYMOND T : Yes, it is a complete one-piece drop-in unit.
Shopper : Why Did You Choose This?CHERI K : In case I need itKEN P : Use polarizer filters on other lens, wanted it for my Canon 300 f2.8 that I am using for Bighorn sheep pictures.WILLIAM P : a necessary filter.BO S : This item is a great accessory to the 300mm lens I recently purchased.ROBERT T : Need a mechanism for controlling light in my photograph

does the job

I bought this as a Demo model for the lower price. The button to work the tab that holds it in the slot was VERY hard to work so I returned it and paid the difference for a new unit. The new works but the pressure required to work the latch is evidently a design flaw as it is also hard to work although easier than the one I returned. Disappointed with Canon but found Adorama very quick and accommodating! Very pleased with their service. The polarizer does the job I bought it for but I worry that I will have a future where I will not be able to remove the polarizer from the lens.

Assembled backwards at the factory

I bought this polarizer for my new 300mm f/2.8 is II lens (both from Adorama). The first version had been assembled backwards, so that the polarizer would only function correctly if inserted the wrong way around into the lens. This meant the adjustment wheel was on the opposite side of the lens and could not be operated with the right hand index finger, as intended by Canon. A call to Adorama suggested I return the filter directly to Canon as this was obviously a manufacturing fault. I returned the filter to Canon, who confirmed the filter was indeed faulty. It took 6 weeks to get a replacement (Canon was out of stock in the USA). The replacement filter arrived today and that was also faulty - exactly the same fault! It looks like Canon has a bunch of filters incorrectly assembled at their factory. Please check yours carefully before accepting delivery, as I fear there may be many more like it out there. Canon made no comment other than asking me to once again return the filter to their factory for "evaluation".

This high-quality, durable filter is designed for precise control, allowing you to rotate it from the outside without the need to remove it from the lens. This efficient feature saves you time and effort, making it a reliable choice for professional photographers and enthusiasts alike.
