from B&H Photo Summary: I own a 62mm Tiffen CP used with my Nikkor AF D 70-300 Zoom. I find images have less digital noise compared to lens w/o CP. No vignette problems except when used indoors to shoot through windows close up. Just stand further from the window and should be ok. Best used before the sun rises to high to be effective or late in the day. This filter offers gradients when rotated and the results are consistent. Nikon offers a CP lens hood which you screw in front of the CP then screw the CP to the lens. A small handle allows you to rotate the filter. Even without using a lens hood, works fine as long as you focus first then rotate the CP. Helps me understand principles of light and composition. Strengths: Performance overall is worth investment. Enhances images and helps reduce digital noise. Sky colors are deeper based on filter rotation. Easy to maintain. Weaknesses: Tricky to screw in front of lens since the rotating section will move as you thread onto your lens however this is a minor issue requiring some momentary patience. Alternative is to use with a CP lens hood if you can find one for your brand of camera.
