In general, light reflected from water, glass, or other shiny materials is polarized and adversely affects image definition. Circular polarizing filters reduce or eliminate unwanted reflections and increase the overall contrast of subjects in low-contrast situations  Usually, light from the sky is polarized due to reflections and dispersions in the air. Circular polarizing filters cut these reflections, making the sky blueror intensifying colors.

This is the best polarizer I have used.  Very easy to rotate without jambing. Cleaning is easy.

Awesome polarizer does not degrade final image quality

Does not degrade image quality

I have only used it once so far, but it took the glare off the lake while taking pictures of an opposite bank of fall tree colors.

Polarizer

Polarizers are very useful for controlling non-specular reflections outdoors.  This one is thin so that vignetting is not a problem with most lenses-even with a lens hood.  It fits precisely and rotates easily for the effect you want.

Most useful accessory

I already had one of these filters, but I lost it on my last photography expedition. Not happy about that, so I needed to get another one. This filter is great! Experienced photographers know it can enhance colors, reduce glare on foliage on rainy days, and even allow you to see through the surface of water along shorelines on in rivers. It's Nikon which has always had superior optics! I put this on over one of my Nikon lenses when I need it, and I'm all set! Highly recommend this filter!

Excellent Circular Polarizer

Easy to attach and adjust even with a lens hood on, colors are so much more rich and reflections dramatically reduced. Expensive but worth it.

High quality and no vignetting even with wide lenses.

No vignetting

675.95 for a piece of glass, not even a lens? You gotta be joking!!!!

Ridiculous Price

I have been very satisfied with the performance of the Nikon filter.   This is my first Nikon filter after using other high end filters before.   I love the low profile that limits vignetting as well as the amount of pollarding affect if applies without creating an unrealistic image.

Excellent Circle Polarizer

A huge difference between this Thin CPL and a standard on however there is still Vignetting on the Sony 18-135mm E-mount lens.  The Vignetting only shows up at the wide end especially at 18mm and only on my raw files.  The jpg's I shoot at the same time do not show it.  The flaring I had with my previous CPL was really in your face, this filter I still see a little bit, but it is very subtle unless you are pointing directly into the sun.

Still Vignetting on the Sony 18-135mm E-mount lens

Great filter with excellent color and sharp images
 ...even on my Canon lenses!

Great Filter.

Great filter if you need a stop of light reduction.  Some of the newer filters don't provide this. Very color neutral.

Top quality cpl

Great filter if you need a stop or so of light reduction.  Some of the newer filters don't provide this. Very color neutral.

Exactly what I ordered, performs the way it is supposed to.  Nikon produced a quality product and Adorama offered it at a competitive price.

Great productive at competitive price.

Nikon is the best glass made lenses and filters.

Nikon Number 1

Nikon isn't noted for lens filters but should be. Nikon CPL is absolute top of the line. Superb glass, low filter factor, UV blocking, and no color shift. Polarizing effect tends to be stronger than B+W or Hoya, thin to reduce vignetting, and a knurled ring so you can actually get them off. CPL's have moving mechanical parts and was the main reason for switching to Nikon. After living with the gritty mechanicals of the supposed top CPL, the butter smooth mechanicals of the Nikon meant no going back. You don't buy these every day, particularly if you use a single larger size with step-up rings, so spend the little extra. Highly recommended.

Worth the Extra Expense

Product received exactly as expected. I have been using these polarizing filters for years and have been greatly satisfied with the results. They also act to protect the lens. I only use the thin ring polarizers to avoid vignetting.

Highly recommend

Great circular polarizer for my Nikon 200-500 f5.6 lens.  Does exactly what it is intended for and adds only 1.5 stops.  Don't shoot outdoors without it!

Simple High Quality CPL

The product is above average and affordable.

The product is as described.

It is a fantastic CPL lens that is very clear and have been very happy with the phones it has enabled me to take now.

Nikon CPL - fantastic

Beautiful Polarizer .. now I just have to learn how to use it.

Excellent

Great product - superior glass.  I have used other CP filters that were less expensive and they did not produce the results of this filter.  I used it yesterday when it was cloudy.  i was really surprised by how great the sky looked in my photos.

Great Filter - Worth the Price

Nikon build quality. Threads easily and rotates with the proper resistance. No vignette apparent with 18-55mm on DX
