Great glass. Does exactly what you need. Darkens sky removes glare lake shots live again?

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.

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.

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!

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.

Compared to other brands, this provides great value for the price. Awesome product and works as good as any I have used that are 2 or 3 times the cost.

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.

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.

This Tiffen circular-polarized filter works perfectly, just as have all the Tiffen filters I own or owned, and is reasonably priced.

This CPL Filter is a quality optic. I have used it a number of times since the purchase and it has met all of my performance expectations

I bought it for a smallish Sony mirrorless. Fits perfectly. For me, it gives just the right range of polarization.

Tiffin filters are the industry standard for a reason, they are consistent and reliable, their polarizer is no exception.

Works just as expected for a CP filter. Bought this one as my old one got scratched when I dropped the lens. Thank goodness it was the filter, not my front element of my lens that took the hit!

When it comes to filters, some things haven’t changed. Here are six facts to remember about optical filters in the digital age.
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.

Will use it all the time.
Polarizing Filters
Polarizers provide color and contrast enhancement. Reflected light often shows up as whitish glare that washes out color in an image. A Polarizer corrects this problem producing deep, dramatically blue skies. It also removes glare from non-metallic surfaces, such as windows and water. Color saturation in general, especially outdoors, can be improved significantly.
Polarizer/Circular Polarizer
Essential general-use outdoor color filter
Produces deeper skies and minimizes reflections in black and white and color photography
Combine a Polarizer with a Red 25 (available separately) for incredibly dramatic black and white landscapes
Can be rotated to achieve desired effect
Use the Tiffen Polarizer with the enhancing filter for more dramatic effects
Also available for Wide Angle lenses
A 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 most 35mm auto-focus cameras see your camera manual).
Area of sky most effectively polarized with a Circular Polarizer: Point your index finger at the sun. With your thumb extended at a right angle (90 Degree), rotate it around the axis of the index finger. It will point out the band of deepest blue from horizon to horizon.
