Question Polarizer filter for FZ10???

Hi ppl ,

Anyone uses a polarizer filter for your FZ10? May I know what brand and model you owned and how is the outcome of the photos quality?

Feel like buying one for myself. Your suggestion & recommendation is very much appreciated. Thanks in advance

Cheers

Wow, that's $1 for each mm of filter. Must be something special.

Anyway, I am using a Hoya 52mm Cir-Polariser with my FZ10 (with my Raynox adapter). Didn't really notice much of a difference. Btw, did you know that Hoya filters are now made in the Philippines by Tokina.

Yes, I've read some articles about it. Mine is a PL-CIR with UV and made in Japan (saw the indications at the side of the filter ring & the back of its plastic casing). Hope that the quality would drop because planning to buy a close-up filter soon.

My latest photos are all with the Hoya 72mm polarizer filter, you can take a look yourself and see if you can tell the difference:
