Questions & Answers

KHOA N : For Nikkor VR 18-200mm lens, what filter ring is required?Eric D : only if you don't have a 77mm lensMARY KAY O : You might want to try a Tiffan 72 mm UV protector filter which I think is a must. And maybe a 72 mm polarizer filter that deepen blue skies and reduces glare for outdoor shots.JERRY A : I don't Have an 18 200 lens. SorrySTEVE D : 77mm
RICARDO A : Does anyone know if this circular polarizer (72mm) works with the Nikon 18-200mm since it is somewhat of a wide angle lens? Thanks.Eric D : works if you have a 72mm lens or an adapterSYDNEY P : Check to see the filter size on the lens. if it takes a 72mm then it will fit.GENE L : It works well on mine.CHARLES F : Yes, it does work with that lens. That is the size of that lens.
Jason T : so if i have a 24-72mm canon lens it should fit perfectly right?WILLIAM D : The one I got was for a Nikon lens, It was a perfect fit, I am very satisfied with it.STEVE S : I'm not sure what a 24-72mm canon lens is... I looked for it on Adorama and didn't find what you have. If the lens is marked as 72mm the filter should fit.J. R. B : I ony have Nikon equipment. Have no idea what size your lens front is. SorryPETER J : If you have a Canon 24mm to 72mm zoom lens those numbers are referring to the minimum and maximum focal lengths of the zoom feature of the lens and NOT to filter size the lens. "72mm" refers to the circumference of the threads at the the end of the lens. Thus a lens might have a focal length of 85mm but a filter size of 62mm. The size of the filter your lens requires can be found at the front of your lens. As to the quality of the filter: I use it on all of my prime lenses. Because it is a circular polarizer you need be careful the front element of your zoom lens does not rotate as you move from a focal length of 24mm to 72mm. If it does you will have to adjust the filter each time you zoom to be sure you receive the proper polarizing effect (ie. richer blue skies, etc.).GENE L : Tiffen has a lens to filter chart for canon lenses. I don't see any listing for a 24-72mm lens listed but it may be a new lens and not be listed on their website. Filters are sized for the diameter of the lens element and most lenses show their size somewhere on the lens as a number with a circle with a line drawn across it. Canon's website doesn't list any 24-72mm lenses either but lists two lenses of 24-70mm length. If the size isn't listed on the lens, then check the documentation that came with the lens or camera.LLOYD S : If you have a 72mm diameter lens, then 'yes' it should fit perfectly; mine did.ANDREW R : I'm afraid I'm not showing a 24-72mm Canon zoom lens, so compatibility cannot be verified. That said, as long as the the threaded filter ring on your lens is 72mm, this filter should fit. *Note - 24-72mm refers to the focal lengths, not the diameter of the lens. The 72mm on the filter refers to the thread diameter.

A must for architectural shoots and the price is right.

This circular polarizer filter is a must in my kit back - essential for reducing bright reflections and glare, it ups the quality of my images & highlights architectural details. A must for architectural shoots, and the price is right.

Good Quality, Good Value

I purchased this polarizer to use on pro glass. This is a great filter. Good workmanship and materials. Fit and finish are excellent and the low-profile threads offer smooth mounting. The Tiffen filters that I have purchased over the years have been of consistently high quality in all sizes, and are always a great value.

Excellent CP filter for cutting down glare

The Tiffen CP lens filter is a great, high quality filter. I used it on my Canon EOS 80D to shoot video footage at a car show. In years past I would shoot video without a CP filter and always got glare on the car windows that prevented proper viewing of the interiors of these cars. With the Tiffen I was able to get excellent footage and cut down on a lot of the window glare reflections. I am very happy with this lens filter and wish I had bought one earlier!

Good quality but the least used item in my camera bag.

Unless you have a specific need for eliminating the glare and not being able to compose around the glare or plan the time of day to avoid it, I wouldn't bother with a circular Polarizer filter. It can make the sky look evil and strange, so the benefits are often a trade-off with the down sides. The product is good quality but I find that this filter is the least used item in my camera bag.

Filter done right.

A very well functioning polarizing filter. The machining of the threads is excellent and therefore mounting is very smooth. Turning the variable filter is likewise very easy.

Tiffen Polarizer Filter

The only problem I had with the filter is that there was only 1 screw thread. It was difficult to get it to stay on the lens and when I did get it to stay, I didn?t trust it to stay. Everything else about the filter was excellent. Because I believe this was a one-off issue that happened to sneak past Tiffen QC, I would still recommend the filter.

In Love with 52mm Circular Polarizer

By Gaurav A.

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. My Polarize types: Circular -- for all types of c...

With sun and snow, this will great.

By Carole

Will use it all the time.

For photographers seeking to enhance their images, the 72mm Circular Polarizer Glass Filter is an indispensable tool. This high-quality filter is designed to intensify color saturation and contrast, transforming your outdoor photography with richer, more vivid hues.

The Polarizer Glass Filter works by reducing the whitish glare often caused by reflected light, which can wash out the color in your images. By correcting this, the filter produces deep, dramatically blue skies and removes glare from non-metallic surfaces such as windows and water.

This essential general-use outdoor color filter is not only beneficial for color photography but also enhances black and white images. When combined with a Red 25 filter (sold separately), it can create incredibly dramatic black and white landscapes.

One of the key features of this 72mm Circular Polarizer Glass Filter is its rotatable design. This allows you to adjust the filter to achieve your desired effect, providing you with greater control over your image results.

Designed for use with the Tiffen Polarizer, this filter can be paired with the enhancing filter for even more dramatic effects. It's also compatible with wide-angle lenses, making it a versatile addition to your photography kit.

The Circular Polarizer has the same effect as a Polarizer and is used on cameras with beam-splitting metering systems, commonly found on auto-focus SLR's. For optimal results with a Circular Polarizer, point your index finger at the sun and rotate your thumb at a right angle around the axis of the index finger. This will indicate the band of deepest blue from horizon to horizon.

Please note, some users have found that the filter may be a little difficult to remove due to the front of it rotating, and the lens cap may not stay affixed due to not enough threading. However, the ease of mounting and the stunning effects it produces make the 72mm Circular Polarizer Glass Filter a valuable asset for any photographer.

Tiffen Circular Polarizer Features

  • Ideal general use outdoor color filter
  • Gives the same deep contrast and glare reducing properties to black and white photography
  • Combines with Red filters for incredibly dramatic black and white landscapes
  • Can be rotated to achieve desired effect
