Brand of a polarizer filter

[chseah]

Hi just call ms color and check out the price for a 77mm polarizer filter. The Tokina one cost $45 while the Hoya cost $79. Does it make any different between Tokian and Hoya ?

get a good CP, you can use it for a lifetime...the build lasts, the coating lasts, the results last. If you have cheap lens, all the more you should get a good filter. If you have good lens, then don't save on filters to damage the quality of your shot.

Well, I have a tokina CP for 4 years now for my F65. No problem with it. Still fine and using it, and I don't think Tokina is one of the expensive brands, right?

if you can live with the result, then there is no prob. the hoya one that I got gave my pics a horrible color cast.

One newbie qn here: If you already have a UV filter on your lens, do you attached the CPL on top of the UV or do you all remove the UV first then attach the CPL?

If possible, remove the UV then put on the CPL. Double filter may degrade the photo further. With extra filter, higher chances of vignetting also.
P.S. Thanks for the lens.
