I'm after a 67mm polarising filter for a new lens and was wondering if anyone has any reccomendations, I can get one for $25 or $90, i don't mind spending more money but I want it to be justified in the quality of the filter. Any help would be greatfully appreciated.
Cheers,
Neil |

I wouldn't trust a 67mm polarizing filter that could be had as cheap as $25, on basic principles; that's just not enough money to pay for quality glass and machining. A polarizing filter is unusual in that it actually has moving parts, and if they don't work smoothly it's a pain in the keister. The filter's a lifetime investment (at least as long as you have a 67mm-threaded lens it is) so go for the quality.

| Go for the more expensive one. A polarizer is a fantastic filter and you'll be using it a lot, so go for quality. |

I recently purchased a Marumi circular polarizer that delivers sharp open palmed blows to the face of B+W filters for clarity and weight.
I got the 77mm and a step down.
I plan on getting a landscape lens soon and I will probably use it a lot on that lens... A lot of the newer wide angle lenses tend to have pretty large front elements.
I paid 120 bucks US for mine.
It cost me 10 bucks US for the step down adaptor.
It MUST be a circular polarizer unless you are a photographic sadist. :) |
