I have used B+W filters on my lenses and have been very pleased with the results. While higher priced, B+W filters are well built and have a good reputation among professional photographers.As a hobbyist, I don’t necessarily need to spend the premium prices charged by other more expensive filter manufacturers. So the AmazonBasics filter seems like a good option. I have generally had very good results with Amazon Basics products. The 58 mm AmazonBasics Circular Polarizer is considerably less expensive than other circular polarizers and certainly makes colors vivid and look more vibrant. The filter appears well made and, as an AmazonBasics product, comes in a plain box (and a plastic holder for the filter).I used the filter on to my 55-300mm lens, and it is relatively easy to attach. Those new to photography should know that circular polarizing filters have two moving parts; the outer ring turns continuously (and the user should adjust it clockwise or counter-clockwise to change the level of polarization) while the back part of the filter attaches to the lens. Of course, since this is an AmazonBasics product, there is no user’s guide or information about how to use a circular polarizer. Those with big hands or thick fingers may find it difficult to tighten the filter, as the back ring is relatively thin.

It does what a polarizing filter should do. Quality... only time will tell. Not sure how "amount" of polarization is measured. Is an image either polarized or not? Sort of polarized? Lightly polarized? Works in the Arctic but not the antarctic? Hmmmm. Perhaps other reviewers would expand on this. From a practical point of view the results are fully satisfactory so far. Good for pics of politicians too using the horns or halos feature.

A good filter to protect the lens, no lose of IQ as exoerienced with another Hoya skylight filter,

The threading of the filter for the lens cap or threaded hood is not 82mm. I just purchased an 82mm lens cap and hood only to find out it is too large. Looks more like it needs to be a 73mm to 75mm thread. The 72mm thread for my lens is correct, however, and works well.Update 11/4/2020: Ordered a 77mm to 82mm step up ring. The ring fits and means that this is a 77mm thread and not an 82mm thread for the cap and hood. If you buy this filter, you will need a hood and lens cap for a 77mm thread.

While this filter did a good job at polarizing (I was amazed at the lack of glare), I'm really giving it five stars because I dropped my lens face down on a tile floor and the filter cracked--but not my expensive lens. So happy to spend a few dollars to save my $1k+ lens. I'll be buying a new one!

While I have no previous experience with polarizing filters, I’ve always wanted one. I ordered the 58mm diameter filter and it fit my lens perfectly. With the filter installed, I could still put the cap and hood on the lens. The filter turns smoothly to adjust the angle of the polarization. In experimenting with it, the lens did a good job of reducing reflection on the surface of a body of water.

If you are looking for a polarizing filter, this one works well for the kit lens on a Nikon D90.

I really like the circular polarizing filter. The ND filters are a bonus for being able to add some motion blur and being able to get lower shutter speeds.
