Quality glass for lens protection.

This polarizer has performed very well for me. I'm an amateur photographer, so my experience with them is fairly limited, but I haven't noticed any defects in the lens. I use it with a Sony A33 mounted on a Sigma 18-200mm lens. At full zoom, there is a bit of vignetting, but it's not horrible. The optics are very clear, and being circular makes it easy to adjust. The only thing that really bothers me is that it's difficult to remove from the lens if fully screwed on (even with light pressure). As such, I find myself not screwing it on all the way so as not to end up in a wrestling match with the lens.

No problems...no vignetting on a wide angle lens

My work after retirement is making high quality handmade knives. My photographs have to be professional quaility. They must be sharply in focus showing detail and have no reflective glare. I just recently purchased a high end dslr camera from Adorama, and the filter is a necessary addition, and they both work very well. [...]

Digitally Optimized (DG) Filters
EX DG filters benefit from Sigma's multi-layer lens coating, developed to counteract the highly reflective characteristic of image sensors. With older style filters, light would reflect off the image sensor, bounce off the lens and filter elements and re-enter the image sensor, creating a ghost image. The multi-layer coating dramatically reduces this effect. In addition to this, an optimum, neutral colour balance is ensured, increasing the white balance accuracy of the digital camera.
Wide Multi-Coated Circular PL
It reduces the glare and reflections from glass and water and other non-metallic surfaces. It deepens blue skies, and saturates the colors. The Sigma circular PL filter is designed to give best performance with AF Cameras. The Sigma wide multi coated circular polarizing filter is very thin, so it does not cause vignetting with wide-angle lenses. You can monitor the changes at different angles through the viewfinder as you rotate this filter.
