I ordered this Zeikos ZE-CPL46 46mm Multi-Coated Circular Polarizer Filter because it was so cheap and the reviews were good. The next day I ordered a much more expensive Hoya - Filter - circular polarizer - 46 mm from Amazon. Well, I have tried both filters and can't see any difference between them optically. The Hoya seems to be made a little better. The Zeikos was a little lose and not quite as tight fitting on the adjustment collar. The Hoya threads were just a tiny bit longer which made it easier to get on. I took pictures with both of them. I can't see any difference. They both look good. They both did a good job of eliminating glare and give the pictures greener greens and make the sky more blue. I like them both.

This lens has made all the difference in my photos. The colors are so vivid even on the hazy days. I rarely have to take it off my camera unless I am inside or at night but I mostly take outdoor pictures. This was a cheap investment for the most brilliant colors I can get.

1.0 out of 5 stars Vignettes on Lumix fz35, July 18, 2010

The optical quality seems fine and may be ok for some cameras, but on a new Panasonic Lumix FZ35, there is noticeable vignetting at the wide-angle settings (e.g. the filter is too thick and darkens the corner of the image), and under some lighting conditions, the camera hunts focus and is unable to lock. I will be ordering the Panasonic brand, which is thinner, even though more expensive.
