Product Description
In general, light reflected from water, glass, or other shiny materials is polarized and adversely affects image definition. Circular polarizing filters reduce or eliminate unwanted reflections and increase the overall contrast of subjects in low-contrast situations Usually, light from the sky is polarized due to reflections and dispersions in the air. Circular polarizing filters cut these reflections, making the sky blueror intensifying colors.

 Excellent CPL Filter for Nikon lenses June 10, 2010
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I have had this filter for about 2 months now and I have used it extensively. It is always on my lens for daylight photography. The sky looks noticeably blue and colors look saturated and haze is minimized.
If I had one thing to complain about, it is painful to use with the hood on, as the hood gets in the way while you are trying to adjust the filter for the optimal effect. Another remark (not about the filter though) is that the plastic case which holds the filter when it is not in use. The push-fastener which opens and closes the case is not properly designed. It has a tendency to get stuck and get unstuck without warning.
Nice glass June 5, 2010
This filter works great for me. It has a very solid build as expected with Nikon glass.
Great filter. May 25, 2010

I bought this for two trips into Central America and loved it. The filter ring adjusts easily, yet doesn't creep from where you set it. The threads on the main ring have been solid through a bunch of removals. And my shots looked great. Just wish I didn't like switching between portrait and landscape so much because I sometimes forgot to turn the filter 90 degrees. Ooops.
I also run with a UV protection filter and that worked fine screwing onto the front of this.
Works Great! May 13, 2010
I bought this filter for a trip to Greece. The filter worked amazing bringing out the blue in the skys and the water. I love this filter! I had no problems with it staying on. I would recommend this to any one looking for a polarizing filter.
Very well made; Nikon quality glass March 14, 2010
I bought the 52mm Nikon CPL for my lenses. I previously owned a Heliopan slim CPL, but that one didn't have coating and you couldn't attach a lens cap.
The Nikon is multicoated and slim, but also fits a lens cap, which is something I really appreciate. The glass is superb, no defects. The ring feels durable.
Polarizing effect is strong, but the lens also has high light transmission (a good thing). This allows you to use faster shutter speeds.
