CR-PL For an Upcoming Trip
Highly recommend this circular polarizer. It spins easily to adjust polarization and the knurled ring allows easy mounting and removal. Adds just the right amount of "pop" to my photos.

Hoya
Trip got cancelled so I didn?t get to use it yet. But I know it?ll do the job because I?ve used Hoya filters before and they?ve been great products.

I buy one for each lens
Here is a good example of what this filter can do. Out of the box, on the camera and quick test photos of my dirty car. Both photos with the filter on the lens. One with max polarization and one with minimum. Raw photos, only resized and converted to .jpg to post. Canon T8i / 50mm 1.8 / 49mm CPL filter

Big improvement
Big improvement over my cheap polarizer. Colors are more vivid and haze is gone. With a few step down rings, I can use this on several lenses, which makes the cost affordable.

Works awesome, great for the price!
Works awesome, great price! Super happy about the quality for the price range.. there?s some crappy filters out there for around the same that don?t seem to do much polarizing. I got it for a sony 90mm g macro, fit perfect.

Great filter
Quality Hoya circular polarizer filter. Works great, perfect fit. Easy ordering and fast shipping, great dealing with the wide range of products available. This filter is great for shooting landscapes or over water shot, help reduce glare.

Hoya 52mm HRT Circular Polarizer Glass Filter. Perfect fit
Hoya makes some of the best filters on the market. I use it on my 52mm ring size Nikon lenses. Perfect fit and works likes it's supposed to.

Worked Perfectly!!
Worked perfectly! I use it to photograph clear glass, which any photographer will tell you is always a challenge. It took out the light reflection and now I can use my photo booth and lighting set up. Thank you!

Excellent results in the right conditions
Produces excellent results, though it reduces the light level a bit more than other similar lenses I have, so best if used with very bright light and heavy UV at higher elevations. I achieved excellent results recently in Colorado above 7000 ft elevation, but at lower elevations with less UV, say 2000 ft, I had to either switch to a different polarizer or else push the ISO setting up to 200 or even 400. So I will hang onto it as a specialty lens for mountain use, but switch to another lens for general use.

Nice reasonably priced polarizer filter.
So far it has met my expectations. Have not used it enough to say more. I expect it will be a good tool.

It is ok.
This filter works great on the 70-200mm size 77mm 2.8 but the 82mm on a 16-35 2.8 there is distortion and you can see a vertical line while shooting. The line doesn’t seem to show up in the image but it is distracting while photographing.

Affordable and gets the job done
Perfect for quickly getting a shot when sun is blazing on the water. Don’t screw it in too tightly — can be hard to remove.

About Hoya 72mm HRT Circular Polarizer Glass Filter
Take your photography to the next level with the HOYA HRT 72mm Circular Polarizer Glass Filter. This high-quality, durable filter is designed with a newly developed High-Rate Transparency (HRT) film that allows more visible light to pass through, while effectively filtering the same amount of polarized light.
The HOYA HRT Circular Polarizer Filter stands out in its category by transmitting up to 25% more light through the polarizing film. This gives photographers about 1/3 stop more light than a standard circular polarizer, offering greater versatility in various lighting conditions.
This advanced polarizing film is also utilized in the latest HD LCD TVs, showcasing its cutting-edge technology. The glass of the HOYA HRT filter boasts UV absorbing properties, making it a combination UV/circular polarizing filter. This dual functionality makes it a valuable addition to any photographer's toolkit.
The most common use for a circular polarizer filter like the HOYA HRT is to darken bright blue skies in outdoor photography. However, its versatility extends beyond that. It can also reduce or eliminate reflections from non-metallic surfaces such as glass and water, enhancing the quality of your images.
By simply rotating the outer ring of the filter, you can control the change of effect. This can be observed by looking through the filter or through the viewfinder if it is mounted on a camera.
HOYA, the world's largest optical glass manufacturer, produces glass to spec for almost every camera and lens manufacturer. As the world's largest filter manufacturer, HOYA is a reputable brand known for its high-quality photography equipment. The HOYA HRT 72mm Circular Polarizer Glass Filter is a testament to their commitment to quality and innovation.
