Tiffen 82mm Linear Polarizer

Although I tend to shy away from low priced filters, this linear polarized filter has proven a good fit for my need. It works well with polarized light sources to reduce reflected glare on shiny subjects.

I live in a very dusty area and these are great to keep my lenses protected. The polarizing functions work well when I remember to rotate the lens filter. Most of the time I forget, unless I am shooting into water, which I don't do much. Most of my pictures are taken at night and the filters do not seem to block enough light to make a difference in my pictures. Solid quality glass.

Unless your camera has a mirror in the optical path (like a DSL), a linear polarizer generally gives stronger polarization filtering for natural phenomena like sky refraction and sea reflection. Remember to try different degrees of polarization, rather than always going for maximum.

The product was received promptly and in great condition. It was easy to install on the lens and it's fit and finish were great. The pictures on my digital camera improved tremendously during daylight hours and I'm very pleased with the results.

Stacking two polarizers, and rotating one, should at a certain angle lead to no light getting through, black, dark, nothing. Not so with this one, it's very weak in this regard. This might be fine for landscape photography, but in many applications a very strong elimination of reflections is desired. If this filter is weak, why don't they say so in the tech specs? I bought some better polarizers, and much more expensive ones, which actually do what they are supposed to, total black when stacked and turned in a specific angle to each other.

I really enjoy using this linear polarizer on my prime lens when taking pictures inside the school gym and there are reflections from the sun off the hardwood floor. I use it on my Nikon D7100 camera and have not had any focusing issues. Too bad the supplier shipped it to me in a thin cardboard envelope because one of two filter cases were crushed. I don't need to use the polarizer all the time and would store the filter in its case.

I use it with my Panasonic G85, works very well and blocks less light than a circular polarizer

Tiffen is the best

non conoscevo questa marca, ma il rapporto qualità prezzo per un filtro in vetro e non in plastica non ha paragoni. si comporta molto bene e agisce bene sul risultato finale

Filtre permettant d'éliminer les reflets sur les surfaces réfléchissantes (verre, métal, eau). Efficacité maximale lorsque le soleil est à 90° par rapport à l'axe optique .. Produit d'excellente facture. Tiffen & Hoya : 2 références sur le marché.

Optically this surpasses my b+w polarizers that cost double. This polarizer is the most neutral I've used, as the more expensive German b+w's have the slightest purple tinge. I'm not a fan at all of Hoya as they have a very slight brownish tinge. If you want neutral, get a USA made Tiffen. The effect is very slight, but the Tiffen keeps the colours neutral which is more important. Build quality is aluminum, it is no better or worse than a cheap Chinese one or an expensive Japan made Hoya. The brass made b+w's are significantly better constructed. Tiffen makes a titanium version, but it is actually more expensive than b+w. The biggest let down with the Tiffen is the quality of the coating, as it is very reflective and can cause ghosting or veiling flare. This is where the Hoya and the b+w are superior. You'll have to always use a decent hood or flag to keep contrast up if your shooting into something backlit. The neutral colour performance has stunned me, and I'm seriously thinking about changing over my other b+w polarizers to Tiffen - perhaps the Titanium versions.

What can I say that needs to be said about Tiffen the Academy award winning Filter company? Tiffen along with, Heliopan, B+W, Lee, Formatt Hitech are the front runners for the filter industry. This is such a nice lens to have. Fits PERFECT, does the job PERFECT, what more.
