wads the different between expensive and cheap ones?
Material, technology, quality control, warranty and even packaging :thumbsup:
can't tell the difference?
get the cheap one.
I can tell you the main difference between cheap and expensive CPL filters.
Firstly,a cheap filter will reduce your f/stops by 2.5-4 stops..
For an expensive(pro) filters, it reduces your f/stops by only 1.
Curious... so a "cheap" CPL can be a plus point in a sunny day... to act as a ND filter too right?
That depends on your intention and usage. Under certain conditions where you cannot close the aperture any further (diffraction) and you have already lowest possible ISO it can help to extend the exposure time. But keep in mind that those cheap filters also have their drawbacks (flare). Also, check that you don't get polarizing effects that you might not want. A ND filter is neutral.
I think ts the material, cheap and expensive sure has a difference,
I just bought myself a 77MM B+W KSM MRC, this is like one of the most expensive ones you can get in the market. But i haven't tried it though. It comes with a filter cap too. Pretty impressive.
Curious... normally the filter should fit into the original lens cap, why would you need an extra filter cap? :dunno:

If it is the SLIM type of B+W filter, there are no front threads, hence the need for the filter cap.
Thanks for the info... I also heard that these filter are harder to remove and often get "stuck" on the lens... is it true? :dunno:
