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.

Customer reviews
Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.
To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzed reviews to verify trustworthiness.

"...So in short, this is a decent filter for the money spent but could use some slight improvements." Read more
Customers like the polarizing effect of the filter. For example, they say it's a good polarizer, does its job as a polariser, and provides a decent but not great polarising effect.
"Great polarizer. I have a much more expensive polarizer for another lens but its a 55mm ring, and I needed one that would fit my nikon 24-70 at 77mm...." Read more
"Everything about this polarizer is Good. Nothing is exceptional, nevertheless it's good. The build quality is very nice...." Read more
"...this one anyways because the colors are better, and it has a wider polarizing range!..." Read more

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I use a Canon 5D with all high end L series lenses (most costing well over $1000.00) and have sold over 1300 framed GiClees ($300-$800 each). I feel that this filter does not compromise the quality of my images.
So in review. I don't want an unnatural appearance due to my filters. I do want the pleasing effects I can achieve with the Tiffen filter. I have never had a problem with any I had purchased, so recommend them to others. And I will continue to use them myself.

So in short, this is a decent filter for the money spent but could use some slight improvements.
One is on my kit lens, with an 80$ polarizer. And the wide angle lens is the one with this polarizer
One is on my kit lens, with an 80$ polarizer. And the wide angle lens is the one with this polarizer
I didn't realize how much the filter helped until I looked at my girlfriend's shots, which were taken without such a filter. Many had blown-out highlights, and I noticed the same on my shots taken on the day I went without the filter.
The only problem I experienced was due to laziness: I simply put it on over my existing UV filter, which caused slight vignetting on some of my wider-angle shots. But some slight cropping took care of that.
All in all I can't recommend this filter enough.

UPDATE 2020:
In realtà il prodotto soffre di forti shift del colore con dominanti verdastre al variare dell'intensità. Come tutti i variabili tra le altre cose soffre anche della forma a croce data dall'intersecazione dei due polarizzatori. Consiglio di valutare altri brand per ND variabile e di cercare di preferire sempre gli ND fissi.
