Tiffen Circular Polarizer
Polarizers provide color and contrast enhancement. Reflected light often shows up as whitish glare that washes out color in an image. A Polarizer corrects this problem producing deep, dramatically blue skies. It also removes glare from non-metallic surfaces, such as windows and water. Color saturation in general, especially outdoors, can be improved significantly. Think of it as sunglasses for your camera.
A Circular Polarizer has the same effect as a Polarizer and is used on cameras with beam splitting metering systems commonly found on auto focus SLR's (for most 35mm auto-focus cameras see your camera manual).
Area of sky most effectively polarized with a Circular Polarizer: Point your index finger at the sun. With your thumb extended at a right angle (90°), rotate it around the axis of the index finger. It will point out the band of deepest blue from horizon to horizon.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I stop using this now as I have changed my APSC A6000 to A7R2 sometime back, and changed to the Haida Prof Filters set. Tiffen CPL is indeed good and I would recommend it.
Note: you almost always want to have either a Circular Polarizer (this filter) or a UV filter on your camera. You can look up what a CP does; I'm not going to go into it here, but either filter serves to protect your lens from scratches. If you get a scratch on the filter, you just pitch the filter and get a new one. No big deal. If you get a scratch on your actual lens you're out of luck.
Tiffen filters are reasonably priced, so having to pitch one due to a scratch is not as painful as it would be with a pricier filter. And the Tiffen filters work just fine, so there's no need to buy one of the more expensive, over-priced brands.

However, the box packaging looks cheap almost like a knock off. Also beware, it comes with a cheap foam padding which almost ruined my filter by leaving stain marks all over it. I had to use a Zeiss alcohol lens wipe to get it off.
