Hoya Linear Polarizer 

Enhance image quality with the Hoya 67mm Linear Polarizer. Durable, scratch-resistant, and compatible with standard mounts. Reduce glare & improve contrast. Shop now!

Light rays which are reflected by any surface become polarised and polarising filters are used to select which light rays enter your camera lens. &#149; They allow you to remove unwanted reflections from non-metallic surfaces such as water, glass etc. &#149; They also saturate colors and increase contrast.  &#149;Polarizers come in two variations but have the same effect. Linear polarizers work with older camera meters; Circurlar polarizers are designed for today's newwer slpit-beam metering systems used in auto focus cameras. Check your camera's manual.

The filter is very good for what I was looking for the pictures to be taken.

Filter is better than expected.

Large Filter

I have Hoya filters going back 40 years and this new 95mm circ. Pol. Looks as well made! And that?s a good thing. Especially for the price.

High quality at bargain price!

This is an excellent compliment to my filter set.  The circular polarizer I have is great, but the linear offers so much better reflection reduction. Granted, the circular is needed for exposure metering, but my work is predominantly in Manual mode, and for that the extra reduction is well worth the compromise in losing better metering. 
Take a circular and compare it to a linear side by side, and see for yourself how much better the linear reduces reflection. ... I just wish you could get the better coatings as offered with the circular filters.

Linear vs Circular

Have observed that my circular polarizers, necessary for modern exposure metering, do not give as much filtration as the linear polarizers. Since much of my photography is in manual mode, and I need optimal polarization, I'm returning to linear for my set up. 
Just take your best circular polarizer and look around you with it, noticing the characteristic reflection reduction. Then take a linear and look at the same things.... While the circular polars do in fact work, compared to the linears, they're just mild ND filters. 
I do wish they were offered with the coatings that are available on the circular though.

Hoya or B & W, either one is adequate.  Nothing to get excited about.

I rather like Hoya.

The Hoya polorizer filter is Fantastic! It just took a month to ship and a week layover in Sacramento, CA. Don't know why they ship the very very cheapest shipping method. Never going to use this company again!!!

Hoya is Great

Works well for me and the stock lenses on my Panasonic G7.  Has stayed on the lens pretty much since it arrived 2 years ago.

Works great

Great filter! Did just what I needed it for: photographing oil paintings without glare. Well machined aluminum; turns smoothly.

Great filter, nice build quality

For my use it is more than adequate. Hoya is a great brand in the photo-world, and for the money I was not disappointed

Nice results

Reasonable priceEffect goodExcept little thick

Easy to use

i like the filter very much and i would recommended it to any one.

Hoya 55mm Linear Polarizer Glass Filter

Another outstanding product from Hoya. Better get as I was informed of limited production.  I guess you could always purchase cheaper quality ones but you will get what you pay for.   Yes it is glass and not plastic.  I got mine to fit a spare filter holder for Nikon 300 2.8 ais lens.  Works wonderful but will not fit normally.  I happen to have extra filter holder that I had for future parts,  I  only had to have center hole enlarged and retreaded,  now all 39mm filters fit.  I can also double stack slim filters,  How about that Nikon.

39mm Hoya glass filter

Everything's ok.

I have an ultrawide lens (Samyang 12mm on CMOS) that I've begun using for landscapes. I needed a polarizer but knew that a circular one wouldn't work for this lens. So I went with this and couldn't be happier. Performs very well.

Great for what it"s meant to do

linear olarizer, good guality, good price

good price 

Works great on  Sony A7II + maul focus lens

Hoya PL filter

I always take landscape pictures. The Polarizer filter is a must for anti reflection from water and non metalic subjects

filter is good for landscape

just fits over the lens but when it retracts you need to be there to catch it as it will fall off.
Didn't really do what I wanted when i bought a polarized lens.  Make need a higher quality?

Great price but has a few drawbacks.

The outer finish is very tactile making it easy to turn to adjust.

Well made

These are good polarizing filters. They work great and are reasonably priced. Good value.

Hoya 52mm Linear Polarizer Glass Filter

I don't think you can buy a better Linear Polarizer Glass Filter. Great price too.

Best One Made

This item proves that one can use linear, as opposed to circular, polarizers with DSLRs.  I do wish that the anti-reflection coating was better, but Hoya seems to be deemphasizing linear polarizers.


Works with DSLR camera

I was able to get the results I wanted with this filter. And you can't beat the price.

Necessary accessory

The filter works well with smooth operation of the ring.

Function with quality

We have tried several brands of linear polarizers and find the Hoya is far superior to the others.  We use two polarizers against each other in one lens.  This way we can go completely dark or very light.  The "completely dark" is not possible with the other linear polarizers.

I use this on my canon 40d with the 28-70 f/2.8 and it works great. A little awkward to rotate with the hood on the lens but overall a great buy.

Great polarizer

As per a Popular Photography article the combination of the LIN polirizer with the CIR polirizer on the lens First enables you to get the effect of a variable ND filter,on  DSLR cameras. The use of a lens shade is restricted because you need to rotate the Lin POL without disturbeing the CIR polirizer

CIR + LP  = ND Variable

This filter performs exactly as it should.  I do have other polarizing filters that consume between .5 and 1 stop less light but they also cost much more.  Otherwise, this filter performs exactly as it should!

A very nice filter

Bought this linear filter to stack on top of my circular polarizer to cut down on bright midday light while shooting moving water from fountains. It takes a few moments to line up the filters, but once you do .... you get a flowy water image, shot at slow speed, which would have otherwise, been impossible. Works even better with a tripod, but for travel... a small and portable solution for sure. Both filters I use are hoyas, and filter compatibility counts.
