Questions & Answers

Bill S : Will my lens hood fit over it?ABRAHAM K : It does fit. But, it is a bit inconvenient to rotate (adjust) the filter with the hood on. Good luckJARED G : Yes, my lens hood fits over the filter without a problem.Shirley H : I use this on a Tamron lens and the lens hood that came with the lens will fit over the polarizer -- just note that to effectively use a polorizer, you need to be able to turn it to adjust it, so you will have to reach inside the lens hood to turn it.ERIC W : yes, it will. I owned that filter but i returned it. It is cheap. you get what you pay for. After i cleaned it the first time with distilled water it got permanent small circular marks. It seemed there is a plastic coating on it that broke down. I replaced it with a B/W filter it is more expensive but will not fail you.PAUL M : yes it willDANIEL D : If its a 72mm hood, then yes it will fit JUAN S : Lens hood fits well over the CPL> Have i mind though, that when the CPL is on, rotating the polarizer's ring is tricky as it gets buried deep in the hoodJOHN W : Yes. It usea the threads inside your lens and the lens hood uses the threads on the outside of your lens.CHARLES C : Yes, no problem.MICHAEL L : Yes... fits fine...

My opinion don't count or it shouldn't

Seems good but my opinion don't mean much as this is the first filter I've ever used so nothing to compare to

Worst filter I ever used

I purchased three of these (ProOptic 52mm CPL) when they were super cheap. It is literally a variable sepia filter. They have NO polarizing effect at all... no glare reduction or enhanced saturation. At best, there is no effect, but when rotated the image becomes brown with flat contrast. I've been an avid photographer since the 1980s, so I know what I'm talking about.

Not for me

The quality is great, but I do not like the having to turn it to find the less darker filter option. I would up screwing it right off the lens and almost dropped it. I dont like it at all.

It's a decent filter for my use case

Does a decent job for a brand I don't use nor hear about often. Can't go wrong with a filter. If I don't want it, I just take it off. To be fair, I use this on my moondog labs so I cannot say much on real lenses on dslr or mirrorless cams.

Good value filter option

This is a really good value filter. A nice option with your new lens purchase before you decide to do more research and commit to much larger expense.

Thin and well made.

I use the Pro Optic Pro circular On a Tamron 70-200mm f/2.8 G2 lens. In the short while that I’ve had it, the filter seems to do the job. It is nice and thin and did not contribute to vignetting. Solidly constructed.

Don't leave home without it

It's much more convenient and faster when changing lenses to have the Circular polarizer (and UV) on all lenses.
