I have both the 52 and 58mm circular polarizers from Tiffen and they both work fantastically. The outer ring spins easily and smoothly, and the filter doesn't reduce the image quality one bit. This is a must have for taking outdoor pictures as it really makes clouds pop and cleans up reflections. Want to get a shot through a glass window? Use this filter to prevent unwanted reflections from getting in the way. Like your framing and exposure, but getting blown out reflections in that lake? You'll lose a stop of light, but it's worth it to get rid of those stray sunbeams in the water.I've taken them both on numerous hikes and in some fairly dangerous conditions. I've thrown them in my camera bag without much regard to their safety, and yet they work fine without any scratches. For the money, Tiffen is great.

Wrote wrong review, see "Tiffen 58mm UV Protection Filter" that review belongs here. As for the UV Filter, a great way to protect your lens and not just protection but cuts down on UV light ray. One needs to read photography to understand this.

Though I am just learning to use the camera I am fully convinced that it is a superior product.NOTE, however that the web page images of items "Also Bought" incorrectly includes a 55mm (diameter) Tiffen UV Protection Filter. This is not the correct size for 18-55mm focal length lens! You need 58mm filter size for this lens and also for the 55-250mm focal length lens. This misleading situation lead to misordering 55mm UV and Polarizing filters that had to be returned. Since these were gifts, the distant buyer will get a refund, or replacement filters(?) instead of sending replacements to me. I think filter size should be shown next to the camera to assure that buyers order the correct accessories, 58mm here. I do not know whether this problem repeats on other camera models.

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.

worked fine for the price. budget 58MM Circular Polarizer Glass Filter. Some other multicoated ones work a little better but over a hundred bucs.

The AmazonBasic Circular Polariser 58mm is a slightly unusual acquisition as my photographic filters tend to be from a known and trusted photographic specialist brand, or sometimes from the camera brand. There had been a very few exceptions but they were usually effect filters for occasional use rather than one that would or could be often used.There are at least two lenses in my collection that have 58mm filter threads but only one circular polariser had been previously purchased on the assumption that only one would be needed. This will, at least, provide some extra flexibility. Unlike some, it does not appear to include a position marking (a dot, arrowhead etc) that some have to aid the user although it isd not a major issue. Ease of rotation is reasonable if not buttery smooth, but it is expected from a lower-priced product and in-line with many others. If you want smooth, it may cost you £80 or more.There are no obviously visible flaws in the filter and it does not appear to suffer from any optical errors that may either affect my images or interfere with metering, focussing and other camera systems. These filters can be rather expensive so an opportunity to try one that is not could not be missed.It would therefore be a worthwhile addition to your camera kit, providing not only a mild neutral density filter - useful in itself, but a means to darken skies, remove reflections from water, snow, metal and so much more. This could be one of the most useful additions to a system.

Great 58mm filter love its ease of use and its performance

Love the improvement I've gotten in my shots so far with this filter! Well worth the value, glad I picked this and the 58mm Tiffen UV filter up as well! Great products.
