Strength:
When buying a polarizer it’s more inexpensive in the long run to buy one that’s as big as you’re largest lens’s filter threads, and use a step-up ring when you want to use it on a lens with smaller filter threads. | Rialto Concrete Co. Weakness:
Cheaper filters are more likely to have glass that’s not flat or out of parallel, use less precise coatings, and glues that are more inexpensive. The results of this can be disastrous to your image quality. Purchased: New

Strength:
Great build quality, smooth ring, easy to use (WYSIWYG as with all circpols), great color and contrast enhancer.
Weakness:
Price, vignetting at ultrawide (17mm), prone to smudging, thick (eats f-stops). I bought the b+w F-PRO version (circular polarizer, 77mm). I use it on my EF 17-40 f/4L to accentuate landscape shots. So far, I love it. Makes colors more saturated, gets rid of reflections and other disturbing elements concerning light and color. It's a bit prone to smudging (when reaching for the ring when looking trough the viewfinder) Customer Service None required to date. Similar Products Used: Tiffen and Hoya Polarizers |

Strength:
Mounts are brass. Glass is exceptional.
Weakness:
Price. As always you need to pay for what you get. I own a 62mm B&W circular polarizer that I use on my Olympus E 20 digital camera. I use this filter a lot. Most often, I am shooting landscapes. Everyone knows a CP filter is a good idea. Why get a B&W? Quality. I've read other reviews that seem to indicate a quality problem. I have had no such experience. Heliopans are good too. No doubt some like Hoya too. Tiffen makes a less quality filter but they can do the job. It goes drastically downhill from there. What to look for in a filter? Precise machining of the threads. Glass that will clean up without difficulty. In the case of a CP, which needs to be rotated on the lens, smooth operation. Something that sticks will infuriate you. If you can't get quality, in my opinion, don't use a filter for shots. They are OK for protection. Customer Service Not needed. Similar Products Used: Tiffens and Hoyas. |

Strength:
Well built (quality manufacturing threads, rings, Schott glass)
Weakness:
None perceived. Price? You paid what you get. Over the years, I have had a chance to buy/use/evaluate various brands (all high quality) : B+W, Nikon's, Hoya ... I have NEVER been disappointed buying B+W (twelve different models, size 52 and 77mm, mostly MRC type). Coupling some to my Hasselblad lenses or Nikon's with "step up" rings. I enjoy using them in various kind of outdoor projects. Customer Service Not needed, yet (more than 3 years use) Similar Products Used: Nikon (several), Hoya (just a few) |
