Take the sky and sometimes you see clouds appearing where it isn't there due to the increase in colour saturation =p. Very nice =) And also if you are in a car and want to take snapshot of things outside, you need this filter to eliminate the reflection. Very effective.. nearly 100% gone. It can also be use like a NR filter.Originally posted by fusetrips
Can use this filter as a UV filter? Can this filter be use for night time phototaking?
I use it cos I take alot of sceanary shot. Polar. filter is not useful at night/indoor shots/portraits... =) I also enjoy taking pic of people while my dad is driving and also since I'm go on tour pretty often, so it's very nice to be able to take pic thru the window.Originally posted by Galaa
Sounds real good. Then why isnt everyone using it for outdoor shots? It sounds like a good thing but then I don think that many ppl using it right? Compared to the non polar users.
People do use it for outdoor shots, but not all the time. If there isn't any obvious reflections you want to cut down, or there isn't an intention to enhance saturation/contrast, you'd prob want to dismount your CirPL cos it will take away 1 to 2 stops from the exposure.Originally posted by Galaa

other than this B+W one, anyone still got other choice?Originally posted by Zoomer
If cash is no object, then get the B+W one. Last checked, $118 at CP.
how much will the hoya be like?Originally posted by Kit
I've mentioned before. If you're on a budget, go with the Hoya.
I tried both B+W and HOYAOriginally posted by overcrash

B+W really much better, but at a price of $118!!!
HOYA dun seems to be as effective as B+W...but it cost only $40
are there any filter which is in between HOYA and B+W in terms of price and quality?
Kamwai, did you use both filters to shoot the same scene, same location and under identical lighting condition? I know there should be some differences but "much better"?Originally posted by kamwai

yes...i think Dragos have both Hoya and B+W polariser...and i borrow both of them to try out in the same location, same scene and same lighting...Originally posted by Kit

i found out that B+W can make the sky more blue and can cut off MUCH MORE reflection on water. ( i already turned the polariser until it gives the best results)
also, the B+W build is better, heavier and the feeling of turning the polariser is smoother.
That's the different for B+W and HOYA...but i seldom need to use PL, so i dun think it is worth to pay $118 for it....unlike UV filter, which is on the camera at ALL time, so i always tell pple to get B+W UV filter...
