Polarizer filter

[Jeff15]

I need to replace my Polarizer, your recommendations please.?

What size? Do you have a budget?

You've got a couple of options. IF you are only going to use it on one lens, i.e., one filter size, then most buy a screw in rotating polarizer or cpl. I like Hoya filters. They are more expensive, but good quality usually costs more. IF you want to use a polarizer on several different size lenses then you might want to buy a filter system like Kase, which is a well regarded system. Personally, I use the Lee filter system.

Hoya or Tiffen for screw in filters.

Thanks for your information, it has been a few years since I last purchased one so what price range should I look at? It's a 62mm lens

Hi Jeff

Just a sideways thought .... counterfeit Hoya filters abound from the cheapie sites
I had a student with one, and it had ripples within the glass and created a slightly fuzzy image too
I would make sure it's a 'goodie' when you get it
