Amazon.com Product Description

Produces deeper skies and minimizes reflections in black-and-white and color photography.

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. Tiffen polarizers are offered in standard and warm versions. Warm polarizers add Tiffen's exclusive 812 warming filter, giving portraits and scenics a warm and muted feel while retaining rich coloration. Polarizes come in two types: Circular -- for all types of cameras: required for beam splitting metering systems commonly found in auto-focus SLR's and in most curretn TTL Slr's. Linear -- for older metering systems. Tiffen polarizers are available in the follow variations: Standard Linear. Standard Circular. Warm Circular -- polarizer plus 812 warming filter. Wide Angle Circular -- a thin filter designed to avoid vignetting at the edges from larger wide angle lenses.

5.0 out of 5 stars High Quality Filter, Great Price, May 12, 2004

This review is from: Tiffen 58mm Linear Polarizer Glass Filter (Electronics)

This is a very well made filter. Glass with metal ring.
Thin, so it doesn't cause to much of a problem with vignetting when shooting with your zoom lens at wide angle settings.
Overall I am very satisfied. Great value for a well made filter. This IS a circulating polorizing filter. Does a great job at capturing those blue skies and filtering out reflections in water, glass and uv rays. No photographer should be without this lens.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very Neutral Tone, like an expensive one., January 21, 2008

This review is from: Tiffen 58mm Linear Polarizer Glass Filter (Electronics)

For me, the principal consideration in a polarizer filter is the overall tone, tiffen offers a very neutral tone, very close to the high quality hoya filters, but half or less in price. The assembly maybe has a cheap feel because their uses a non very polished aluminium frame painted (or coated/anodized?) in black, and the treads are non perfect also, but in the optical im very happy with the results, glass, perfect effect (some polarizers doesn't do their job almost at all) and a very neutral tone to keep colors like the original scene. Sorry about my bad english, my mother tongue is spanish.

2.0 out of 5 stars Expected Better, April 7, 2009

This review is from: Tiffen 46mm SR Polarizer (Electronics)

I purchased the 46mm linear polarizer for my Panasonic FZ28. The fit between the two elements is loose and moves on it's own sometimes. It is also too thick because it causes vignetting in the corners at wide angles.
