Product Description

Product Description

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.

4.0 out of 5 stars You Can't Beat This Polarizer For The Money!, January 26, 2005

By	PETER J SAMMON "Camman722" (GLEN RIDGE, NEW JERSEY United States) - See all my reviews

Using this 49mm polarized filter on my old Magnavox VHS camcorder helped me deliver some excellent looking tapes to the coach this year. Having said this...there are admittedly other much more expensive lenses that will probably perform slightly better. Anyone who films semi-professionally and wants to take a frugal approach to their camcorder purchases would be well advised to not pass this filter up. The variable setting works well enough and interacts with the older camcorder lenses well. Filming from a "fixed" booth sometimes means shooting toward the sun a bit. Even if that is not a problem...it still is very effective in cutting down glare from cars and other metallic objects. This filter is the best weapon for these situations at its unbelievably low cost to you!
