If we could get this with and easy grip tighten and remove...5stars

Honest opinion

As always: quality on all fronts and it works as it should!

Best made...

Seems high quality, can't say much more until I've had more time.

As described

Love the filter, but is difficult to get off my Hasselblad lines.

Great Filter, Hard to remove.

Bought this to go with my 35mm and amazing filter!!

Great filter

Great glass from Hoya. Excellent polarization without knocking the light down too much.

Great CP Filter

except for it taking so long to get here, It is excellent.

slow shipping .. excellent product

I liked the C-PL filter - easy to use and felt well-made. I'm still a relative novice at using filters for special effects but am excited to try it in different scenarios. These clouds were high overhead so make your own judgement as to quality.

Hoya 58 mm Circular Polarizer HD3

A super-thin high quality filter. Optically, I doubt most people could find any fault with this filter. The view is crystal clear. It functions exactly as a circular-polarized filter should, and I've had no issues with keeping it clean - dust, debris, and raindrops are easily blown off.
The thickness of the filter is very low; just about as slim as is physically possible in a manually adjusted polarizer. This is great for avoiding optical consequences - I can detect no obvious corner vignetting with any lenses on my Canon. Also, the filter is narrow enough to allow normal use of other hardware - I can attach & remove lens hoods & lens caps without needing to remove the filter first.
However, those (good) attributes also may make adjustment of the filter a bit tricky for some. I have larger-than-average hands/fingers, and I have a bit of difficulty in locating the front adjustment ring by feel. The rear (mounting) knurled ring and the front (adjustment) knurled ring are so close together that I have to take my eye away from the viewfinder to make sure I've got ahold of the correct ring - and that is a pain. This is the only reason I gave a rating of 4 stars, instead of 5.
I think there's a simple fix for this issue: Simply add knurling to the front/forward edge of the adjustment ring, in addition to the current knurling around the circumference. This would require retooling at the factory, but I believe it would make a great filter nearly perfect. It would also make it easier to adjust the filter while a lens hood is mounted ( I'm a strong advocate of hood use whenever possible).

A gorgeous filter in need of a tiny improvement

This is in amazing polarizer. I bought it replace another polarizer I had misplaced. It was definitely worth spending a little extra. The quality looks and feels so much better than less expensive models. Cleans really easily and the colors really pop a lot more with this one. Very happy with this purchase.

Excellent Quality, vibrant colors

Everything it’s advertised to be. Great quality. Easy to use.

Sky’s the limit

This is a great CPL and super sharp. My “informal and unscientific” testing shows that blocks between 2/3 and 1 full stop of light.
