For the price, it is a very good deal. It would be nice to have a little more grip on the rotation ring and a dot painted on there for reference as I use it on rangefinder cameras. Overall a very neutral color balance. Probably not a better filter deal out there for around $20

Bought this for a photoshoot of a car to help cut down on window glare. The build is nice however the polarizing effect leaves much to be desired. Though it did an okay job at cutting through the glare the effect was pretty uneven and seemed spotty. The spots didn't come through in my images as far as I can tell but still won't be risking using it again on a paid shoot. Being able to rotate the filter to have the effect or not is really useful but if you can, I'd suggest a higher quality filter as this one was a let down

The purchase was easy. The phone sales person was helpful, calm, thorough. The filter came when it was supposed to. It was exactly what I thought it was going to be. All was good.

I have very specific needs photographing artwork. When crossing this filter with another polarizer, it only partially shades, meaning, it is only partially polarizing. It might be fine for others, and for cutting less light, but I'm going to need the pricey one.

I use it on rainy days to take the reflection off of leaves. It also makes white clouds more contrasty in a blue sky. The only thing I don't like about it is that you have to turn it to get the polarization and I also have to turn the same area to focus manually when I need to and sometimes I turn the wrong thing.

I like to use this for shooting landscapes since it cuts through the haze in the sky and gives me bluer blues. Really makes the clouds pop.

I do photography of classic cars at car shows in Southern California. Reflections can be a real issue. This polarized filter helps me control that.

I'm not sure that I got the effects I was hoping to get when purchasing this filter.

Very inefficient. Doesn't block much polarized light when compared to several other brands. Loose construction isn't all that bad.

Everything but the mount is fine. I get a feeling that the glass may come out of its frame anytime. It has such a bad mount, that sometimes I cannot use the thread in front of it without trying to push the glass in.
