Bought this and a solar filter and iPhone holder for the 8/21 solar eclipse. Served its purpose very well.

A nice little polarizer if you are just starting o
Polarizing filters have many uses whether you want deeper blue skies, cut through reflections in water or suppress glare off your lake pictures or even metallic surfaces.I use polarizers in the above scenarios (although there are certainly others), and started off with a cheap set of Agfa filters just to play around with them. These worked fine for experimenting but did soften the images somewhat compared to the native (non-filtered) glass. This was especially noticeable when doing 100% crops using my Canon L Glass.If you do a quick search for filters, two names come up time and time again, B&W and Hoya as consistently making the best filters and there is a reason for that. They are the best.This is Amazons entry into the market of polarizing filters, arguably the most used filter type.I only have the one lens that uses the 58mm filter thread, the Canon 50mm f1.4 USM. Although not L glass, Canons 50mm prime lenses are renowned for being excellent value and have very good sharpness for the price.The Amazon Basics 58mm polarizing filter comes in a nice frustration free package inside of which you will find the box that contains the filter. The carrying case is very much like those used by B&W. Unfortunately that is where the similarities end.Amazon's filter is quite large in width compared to other circular polarizers and looks like it is made of steel rather than brass. It is still fairly easy to screw on and off my lens however.Unlike a B&W filter which will give you roughly 1.5-2 stops allowing you to shoot at higher speeds, the amazon filter only gives you roughly 0.5 to 1 stop. This was a quick test using a Canon 5d Mk3, the 50mm f1.4 and shooting carp and turtles at a botanical gardens just around the corner from where I live. It is by no means scientific. Just comparing the differences between an Agfa, a B&W and the Amazon circular polarizers under the same conditions.Taking the pictures into Adobe lightroom and comparing them at 100% crops you will see a difference between the different polarizers. The Agfa and Amazon polarizers are nearly the same with Amazons coming in slightly sharper than the Agfa but not as good as a B&W filter. So the Amazon does lower the native resolution of your lens slightly but it is only noticeable when you zoom in. If you are just going to be taking pictures to put on the internet, Facebook or what have you without doing much cropping then the results are certainly usable.This is not something I would put on my L glass but for standard lenses and primes it actually isn't all that bad at all.

Works well
I use a Nikon D3100, I bought a Nikon 50mm f/1.8D AF Nikkor Lens. That lens has 58mm threads. I bought the 58mm Tiffen Circular Polarizer filter to use on that lens. At the time of my order it was sold and fulfilled by Amazon. I paid for shipping and received the filter in less than four days. The filter came in a hard plastic box that I use for storing the filter. It looked new and works fine. No filter problems and I give it 5 stars. The only issue is screwing it onto the lens is a bit tricky because you only have half the width to work with but I blame that on my fingers and lack of any real nails. I have noticed that if the filter doesn't go on straight it may make a glare effect but when I see that, I rescrew it on and that takes care of the issue.

Great but
If you are unsure of getting into the hobby, this is the perfect fit,I also got a solar filter and the astro master eyepiece kit! I had to buy another tripod, this one is too short for me.

Q
Is the lens glass or plastic?
A
The binocular lens is made of glass. Compared with plastic lenses, glass lenses will provide high-quality images. 
Q
Can I see objects in dim light?
A
For this binocular 20x50, as the diameter of the objective lens is 50mm, for binoculars, the larger the diameter of the objective lens, the more light it collects and therefore can be seen more clearly in dimmer places. Please note, however, that dim/low light ≠ night vision and cannot be used in total darkness. 
Q
What is the minimum interpupillary distance?
A
The minimum interpupillary distance for the TrailSeeker ED 8x42 binocular is: 56mm (2.20") 
Q
Will the nikkor 50mm 1.4D work with this?
A
Yes, the Nikkor 50mm 1.4d is an f mount lens so it should adapt just fine. 
Q
Hello, i have a nikon 50mm af-s 1.1.8g lens. is this compatable?
A
I don't have that lens with me. On the inside of its lenscap and on the ID on the lens, there should be the size of filter needed. If it requires a 58 then you are fine. There are also adapters to go up or down.
