Review Summary

I bought this to use on my Tamron 28-75mm lens. I must admit I had a hard time getting it to firmly attach to the lens at first, but this is my first "rotating" filter as well. Once installed correctly its stayed on the lens for 2 months now. I shot approximately 1800 pictures in Stockholm, Sweden with it as well as on a mini vacation back here in the US. It did fabulous, the colors were deeper and richer and in Stockholm (being a town on water) I noticed the biggest plus was it got rid of the glare on the water, not entirely but a lot more than if I did not have the filter attached. I highly recommend buying it, I can see a difference in my landscape shots with it. One problem is that you got to keep rotating the filter as you zoom or change angles, after a few shots that becomes automatic though, I don't even think about it anymore. The only problem I really found was installing it, being a rotating filter it has 2 discs I suppose and I kept rotating the outer one which obviously wouldn't do anything, once I figured out the problem its stayed on nice and tight and have had no issues at all with it.

Polarizer filters give you several key creative features.
They evenly increase color saturation of all colors (except black and white), creating deep, rich scenics.
They add contrast for dramatic skies and ariel shots.
They eliminate the whitish glare from highly reflected surfaces like glass and water.
Polarizers are two part lenses that rotate, allowing you to select the degree of additional saturation, contrast and glare reduction desired.
Polarizes come in two types:
Circular -- for all types of cameras: required for beam splitting metering systems commonly found in auto-focus SLR's and in most curretn TTL Slr's.
Linear -- for older metering systems.
