How much does a polariser cost?

any diff for DSLR?


Size: 52mm and 58mm



Thanks

intending to get one too....

did a little research and found that it is more advisable to get bigger one, like 77mm and then use step down/up adapter ring so that the polariser can be used over more lenses...

like to hear more advises too....

[esmondng]

think shld be ard 30+. one prob i found when using a step down adapter is tat u cannot put the lens hood on.

[iso100]

got one from cp @ $22.

[tangoninazero]

52 mm should be less than $30
67mm cause more than $50

but u can look for second one if u dun mind... i got a 72mm CP some year back from the forum for only $20

+- cant remember the exec figure. B+W is abt $180 (non slim), tin its around $250 for slim, Nikon Cir Pol II is $210. Correct me if I'm mistaken...

[erictan8888]

ya damian77 is right....

the 77mm cir polariser from B+W is $200+.....
the one from hoya is about $90+ (not multi coat though)

so any idea which is a better buy? any need to get a B+W cir polariser?
very expensive leh.....

I guess a Hoya CPL would be of reasonable standard & price. A 67mm would cost abt $60?

I've never used a stepping ring, so can't help u with that

[Isaiahfortythirtyone]

yeah i use a standard single coated Hoya CPL that i got 2nd hand for $20. new should be ard $50-$60. good enough.step down ring....around $5 i thnk
