Good filter
Nice polarizing filter - it even comes with a lens cap with a little strap. Well hey, you can't have too many lens caps, right? I got the 62mm size, and it fits my⌀62 Olympus 12-40mm pro lens perfectly. The filter feels very well put together. The filter ring has a nice smooth motion so you can easily dial in the polarization. There are some raised bumps on the ring to help with grip, and on mine they seem to be at least somewhat aligned with the polarization angle (I'm not sure if that's on purpose or not). It seems to reduce light by somewhere about 1.5 stops compared to no filter, according to my camera's light meter. It's not as good as the $100+ high transmission filters, but for $23.99 (current price with coupon - July 2024) it's pretty decent. One quibble though is the case size. Most of the time this is going to be in my camera bag, I don't use polarizing filters all that often. But the case it comes with is way too bulky. It's 4.25" x 4.25" x 0.75". It was sized to hold the filter and the lens cap (with plenty of room to spare), and takes up too much room in the bag.
