Good quality filter
Price when reviewed: £ 13.99 for 55mm filter.
Polarizing filters let you control reflective surfaces when taking photos. This type of filter has 2 layers, a fixed back element and a rotating front element. Polarizing filters can reduce the amount of light passing through it, so best to use in daylight.
I have tested this filter with a camera and a shallow bird bath in the garden. The two photos show the amount of control I was able to get in this simple test, with one photo showing the bottom of the bird bath as if the water didn’t exist and the second photo showing a reflection of the garden plants opposite.
The quality of the glass in this filter appears to be very good as there is no distortion in my photos. I like that you also get a lens cap as the original cap that came with the camera doesn’t fit with this filter attached. The lens cap retaining strap slips off a bit too easily so I’m using another one I have.
Overall, I am really pleased with the quality of this circular polarizing filter.
