The filter is crystal clear and works perfectly. I would put this against any of my B&W filters any day.

It's funny, I ordered this as I needed a 72MM pol filter in a rush and I couldn't find a B&W 72MM in stock at that time. I was going to "settle" for this until I could get a B&W to replace the sigma filter. I have since purchased three other sigma filters and love them all.

Great filter at a good price.

Purchased this filter to go on my Sigma 10-20mm wide-angle Sigma 10-20mm f/4-5.6 EX DC HSM Lens for Nikon Digital SLR Cameras and it works perfectly. This filter was designed with this lens in mind or at least it would appear that way. Vignetting is minimal. Great unit.

I've been using this on Canon lenses for some time. Over the years, I've tried the cheapest polarizers I could find and slim, expensive German models. The cheap polarizers work, but their thickness means a lighting penalty: you lose at least 2 stops of light, and they introduce vignetting (fall-off at the edge of the frame) and reduce overall image contrast. That's why it's worth paying more for this model, which performs every bit as well as my expensive German slice of glass but at a far more reasonable price.

This filter cuts glare without a great penalty in exposure, and I haven't been able to spot any vignetting. It is very solidly constructed, and I like that the outer metal rim of the filter is notched: that means I can use one finger to dial in the right angle of polarization when using a lens hood.

Overall, I am very impressed -- it's worth spending a little more to get far better performance.

I purchased this filter for use with my Canon 24-105L, and I'm happy that I chose this one. There are less and more expensive filters to go with; I chose the middle ground. For the wide end of my lens's range, I figured it would be best to go with this specialized polarizer, especially since I have a full-frame sensor that is more sensitive to vignetting. At 24mm, a small amount of added vignetting can be seen, but I don't find it to be significant.

This filter has done a fantastic job for me. I use it on my 10-22mm and 70-200mm lenses. Although I didn't need a slim filter on the 70-200, I liked it so much for the 10-22, I figured I wouldn't bother testing out another. This filter has front threads so I can attach a lens cap. I love that feature because I sometimes put other items in with my lens, so the protection is key. It's worth the extra money to get this filter.

Well I bought this polarizing filter just to have it for sunny exposure days.

Seems to me worth the money. No complaints. Well built, quality glass.

I don't remember if I read the review for this one stating that you could not use a lens cap with it. If so that is false. There is enough of a lip on the filter to clip the standard cap to it. No need to get another cap.

Worth the $

Although I haven't got to use it in very many truly practical applications yet, what I have seen appears to be a quality product. The lens does what I wanted it to do, seems to be good optics, and nicely made. I would recommend to other aspiring photographers!

This is a good accessory for general photography. I like shooting landscapes so I use this a lot. The only minor irritant is the hood attachment is required to use it, and the cone like sun shade makes turning the ring a little difficult.

The filter works well, it's very slim and is easy to adjust. It's a little hard focusing manually while using it; and in cold weather it can get stuck on the lens. If that happens putting a rubberband around it to provide a better grip will do the trick. I use it with my 18 mm lens and have never noticed any vignetting on the photos I take with it, although there is usually a little bit of a bluish cast to the photos. That however, is faint.

I recently upgraded my camera lens, investing a good amount in the new lens. I used the lens without the "filter", then with the "filter". I could really see the difference in my photo's with the filter. My photo's have more definition. I am very pleased with the Sigma filter. It definetly makes a differnce using a filter. Most of all, it protects the lens. I would recommend the Sigma filter.
