This is a high quality circular polarizing filter that is a must for any sort of outdoor photography or video at an excellent price point. It warms the image nicely and is perfect for warmer / tropical / oceanic climates. Definitely recommend.

I can confidently rate my circular polarizing warming filter from Moose via Andorrans 5 stars because it does exactly what it is supposed to do. At the right angles, it cuts glare and haze, and really makes clouds more dramatic. The warming effect is slight, but noticeable, a welcome feature for reducing the bluish tone in so many situations. The monthly assignment of my photography club was “Colors.” I drove to a local veterans cemetery, thinking a shot of colorful flowers beside a grave might be interesting. Then I spotted a tall hillside across from the chapel, which was flanked by the “colors” of the American flag, with rows of headstones forming leading lines pointing to the flag. The 5 o’clock sun was still a bit harsh and hazy. Adding my new filter was sheer genius! It produced in-camera the image I had in my mind, a subtle but dramatic difference, for the win - the right tool for that situation!

The day we received it we were headed to Arizona. I was looking forward to experimenting with the polarized filter. I sell sunglasses for a living and almost always recommend polarized lenses. It was great seeing how this works a I’m very pleased with the results.

I bought this to use with my Canon DSLR. I haven't gotten outside to use it yet. (TOO cold and dreary here). Judging from playing with it inside the warming filter may be too dark and can be best used on a bright sunny day. I wonder if the warming filter is necessary for a digital camera as the computer in the camera will try to compensate and nullify any effect this filter makes in the final picture. I think the warming effect filter is a throwback to using real film. Otherwise the general quality of the filter is good and solid. Even though I used it inside, it did remove reflections from shiny surfaces like its supposed to. I can't wait to use it outside and see what it really can do.

The moose PL filter adds just a touch of warmth to any outdoor photo you are taking. Helps to eliminate the excess blue you get when using most PL filers. Works well on landscapes and cityscapes.

I only shoot JPEGs and Moose's filter does wonders! It can give me polarizing and warming at the same time or I can tune polarizing out and add just a little bit of warmth. An extra bonus is having up to two stops of warm neutral density from the polarizer! The quality of this filter is excellent! I liked Moose's warming polarizers so much that I bought one in every filter size from 52mm to 77mm! I like the results they provide!

It causes vignetting on the Nikon 10mm lens when used at 10mm.

I have read so much about this filter, and with a trip coming up next month to Alaska, it became the right time to purchase it. Let's warm the area up!

On the first use, the filter secured itself firmly to the B+W UV filter and couldn't be separated. I'm a strong person, and I could get the two filters to budge from each other.

This polarizer just produces effects that no other comes close to. It is truly as advertised. Don't look any further, just get this one and you will be totally satisfied

The Hoya Moose 67mm Warm Circular Polarizer Glass Filter is effectively two filters in one piece of glass. The Warming effect is the same as an 81A filter. A Polarizing filter may produce an image that is a little cooler than desired. This filter attempts to create a more natural image. The results are usually very pleasing.

I shoot film sometimes, and there's no white balance adjustment like digital. Stacking both a polarizer and warm filters produced vignetting with my Pentax 645 45mm wide angle lens. Now I can put this filter on and get the effects of both a polarizer and warming. It's not as warm as an 81c or Tiffen 812, but there's a noticeable difference. It's not multicoated, but I don't spend the extra $$$ for MC filters anyway. Image quality has been great for me so far with this filter. I also use this on my smaller lenses with a step up ring adapter. I always use generic 67mm screw in lens hoods with it. When the hood is mounted to the front of the filter, it's so easy to rotate the polarizer. Just grab the hood and turn. But it's best to turn it clockwise to eliminate the chance of unscrewing the hood or filter.

I bought this circular polarizer for my Zeiss 21mm f2.8 for Canon. I had owned CP but not in the same price range. For a really good piece of optic, you need a good quality filter to not degrade the picture quality--supposedly. I am not sure my 30 dollar filters on other lenses have led to worse quality, but I am satisfied with this circular polarizer for landscape photos as it warms up the image and provides what CP is intended for.

This worked pretty well for th3 first use. It has good construction and works as advertized. How ever shotting at Mesa Arch last week I had reflection and stay light on some of my photos. efectively runing some of my best photos. I will have to play around with this some more as I was shotting almost directly at the sun rise that morning. But so far I'm satified with it. A reagular polerizer would have been better but New Toy got to try it out.

Helps to get rid of the glare and extreme blue cast we can experience in Wyoming with snow on the gound at altitude.

I live in the Southwest and just started using this type of polarizer and so far have been happy with the results.

I've always had a linear polarizer on my Olympus OM-1 lenses for outdoor work, and was pleased to find this for my new Nikon 18-105. Although the effect is not as pronounced, circular polarizers will make clouds pop against the sky, and this one maintains a better color balance for the foliage and red rocks common in the West.

This filter combines the advantage of using an 1A skylight filter for warming effect, coupled with the advantage of a polarizing filter. Needless to say, using both filters at the same time reduced the necessity of constantly adding or subtracting the polarizer during changing lighting conditions. An excellent idea.

Great 2 for 1 filter.

With the 49mm Warm Circular Polarizer Glass Filter, a unique product born from the exclusive partnership between Hoya and esteemed wildlife photographer B. Moose Peterson of Wildlife Research Photography, you can enhance your photography experience. This innovative filter combines the features of a polarizer and an 81A warming filter, making it a valuable addition to your camera gear.
For decades, photographers have relied on polarizers to eliminate reflections from non-metallic surfaces like water and glass, and to intensify contrast in blue skies for more vibrant scenic photography. However, traditional linear polarizers often lead to exposure errors with today's auto-focus camera bodies that use split beam metering systems, which utilize a polarized half mirror.
Our 49mm Warm Circular Polarizer Glass Filter overcomes this issue by offering the same optical effect as a linear polarizer without interfering with modern metering systems. Both linear and circular polarizers tend to give a slightly bluish tinge to the overall color balance of a scene, often referred to as "cooling down" the image.
This is where the 81A warming filter comes into play. It corrects the color temperature, restoring the scene to the original 5500K, which is the ideal color balance for daylight film. The result is a more pleasing, warm color balance across the entire scene. In addition, the circular polarizer enhances color contrast and minimizes the impact of atmospheric haze, ensuring your photos are always clear and vibrant.
Experience the difference with the 49mm Warm Circular Polarizer Glass Filter, and elevate your photography to new heights.
