Great polarizer

I purchased this 95mm polarizer because it was highly recommended for use with Zeiss 15mm/2.8 Distagon. It ain't cheap but it works real well. Easy to put on and take off. Best of all, no vignetting with my wide angle lens. I am very satisfied with this polarizer.

Great filter, but had to send it back.

The filter was excellent. 100% polarized light reduction, brass fittings, slim profile, with great optics. Exactly what I wanted! But the one I received was obviously used. It had dirt, dust, grime, smudges, and fingerprints. I looked back at my order; no, I hadn't accidentally ordered a used one. It was supposed to be new. It must have been a floor demo or used/returned model that was put in the wrong place. Even the case looked like it had been sitting out and sliding around all over the place, with scratched up plastic and a worn label. Customer service was great, they promptly sent me a post-paid UPS label to ship it back to them. I've asked for the same model filter again in exchange, hopefully a new one will arrive this time. Unfortunately we got what will probably be our only snowfall this year and I wasn't able to use the polarizer.

Good like always

I really like the slim mount multi coated filters from Heliopan. I really wish they would make them in 43mm as well for the Biogons.
