from eBay Dealer Summary: This is for the Hoya Moose's Warming Polarizer Filter. And it's incredibly useful. it is, in essence, an 81a UV filter that is made into a polarizer. So, you don't have to stack up filters. I find it very useful when doing outdoor portraits and glam/ beauty photos, bringing in the skin tones into a very pleasing warm glow. Especially women. Does a good job as a general polarizer. Strengths: The fact that it is two filters in one is a very big strength. And, it's Hoya, so it's made pretty well. The polarizing feature behaves as it should and seems to "talk" to the metering system better. In AF and with manual focus cameras. For about 65.00 including shipping, for a 72mm filter, it's a pretty good deal. Weaknesses: It would be nice if it were a Multi Coated filter. Also, it's a thicker filter (like most Polarizers). That is made up for that it has the 81a properties and UV absorptions. The rings are aluminum, so it doesn't rotate maybe as smoothly as some others, but it is pretty well made nonetheless. I would reccomend a good lens hood. Even if it were a coated filter. I would like to see future versions be made thinner, multi-coated and brass rings instead of aluminum. And, that would probably bring the filter to about $100.00+ a pop. I'd still buy it. Similar Products Used: B+W Polarizers and warming filters. Heliopan filters. Customer Service: Never contacted them.
