This is a great filter for taking outdoor photographs. You really need a Circular Polarizing Filter (CPL) for outdoors, but CPL's tend to cool down the colors. This filter is a CPL made from 81A glass so it's like having a CPL and a warmer in one filter. The 81A glass compensates for the cooling of the polarizer.

it is worth a few extra bucks to get the Moose over other polarizers; I like the slight warmth it lends, particularly to digital prints, which can be too blue in my mind.

I don't take this filter off my barrel when I'm outdoors. You can rotate to adjust the effect if you're looking for a little reflection in your shot, but generally you go for the full polarized effect.

This filter gives my shots clearer air. I understand that's because it filters out light noise reflected off dust in the air. It can't get all of it...nothing can. Your clearest shots will usually be just after a rain. But if you don't have a rainstorm handy, a circular polarizer will get you a long way there. This one, made from a warming filter's glass, solves the polarizer's problem of the bluish tint polarized images get.

So by getting the Moose's filter, you're getting color-corrected polarization. Super.

My outdoor shots include a lot of covered bridges, horse barns and Amish country scenes. I make mental notes of locations I want to shoot, then try to go out after a good shower, in the morning, in the evening, whatever gives interesting light with good air.

The Moose's filter has done wonders for many of my photos. I haven't taken any with/without reference shots. I just note that with the same equipment I am getting more good photographs. More than any other camera accessory I own, this little filter has improved my shooting.

Highly recommended.

Bought this filter based on a recommendation..works great! Took this on a 22 day 'exhaustion' tour of Europe, snapped over 6000 photos. The filter really helped, especially with anything outside and the sky. Like other amateurs, I don't think I know much about filter quality (and use) so depend on pros to comment on for people like me to follow. In this case, I got a winner. I hate the price but again for the improvement in my shots, it was worth it. Yikes! Photography is like being a drug addict. All you need is money to help your addiction along.

is a great product, very special, not only performs very well as a polarizing filter but also eliminates the dominant blue, only advice is best used alone and not combined with other filters like UV

Ok, I have a Moose Filter and a Tiffen. When I wat natural outdoor, the Moose is my filter.

I had this on a Canon EOS Digital Rebel 6.3mp with a 28-135mm lens. I can say this works ok but it's not great. I tend to have a hard time keeping the picture looking natural and not over processed. It seem to cause many pictures to become overly dark especially with pictures including large bodies of moving water such as a river or waves in a ocean/lake or areas with shadows. I know the camera is old so that likely could be one source of the problem. Either way for the price this is still a good filter.

it does what they say it will do-
