I'm not a pro but rather a "serious amateur" so if this doesn't fit my expectations it will be a surprise disappointment for others. I've always used a polarizing filter and have never encountered a worse one even amoong inexpensive versions. I thought I'd save a little money - hahahaha. I just burned a $20...here's why.
1. Uneven polarization. Although this might be expected on a wide angle shot, this was a consistent problem when using this filter. If you are searching for a "special effects" filter where you have inconsistent filtration that results in totally uneven color saturation then this is your filter! Sky and water was particularly evident.
2. Excessive vignetting. No way around it - again, it was so bad it resembled a special effects lens.
Avoid this one and spend a little extra for something you will actually be able to use.

Effect of filter is not quite as pronounced as with a traditional polarizer, but it's definitely there. Attaches easily and rotates smoothly.

This may not be the most expensive filter but it works great on my digital camera. It is well worth the money and the low cost will encourage you to replace it when it does eventually get scratched.
