Strength:

It works just as a circular polarizer should, by twisting a ring, reflections can be easily eliminated. It also darkens blue skies and increases overall contrast and saturation. The intensity of the effect can be adjusted too. | spray foam insulation near me

Strength:

It gives Rocklin Stone Masonry both good protection as well as a number of useful features that actually work, including an anti-stain coating that makes it easy and quick to clean the filter when needed.

Weakness:

None so far.

Strength:

Sometimes a good brand is not synonymous with quality. In this case, Kenko has quite disappointed me: the polarizer acts more like an ND than what it would have to be, and the photos are not as sharp as I would want. I'm thinking of giving it back...

Strength:

Good polarization. Very similar to the Hoya version. Basically, I find no difference between the two except that the Hoya cost me around $80[us] new.

Weakness:

A bit thick though.Makes you lose about 2 stops of exposure but so does the Hoya

77mm.Solid built. Smooth adjuster.

Strength:

Weakness:

None, really.

Just watch out when turning the filter's ring, because its thin profile can cause a finger to appear in the photo.

This filter I got for a bargain!

I have a one with a 52 mm thread.

It had some stains on the outer surface, but they came off with a lens cloth and fluid. Other than that, it was in very good condition.

Strength:

Good construction, appears that it has a mix of 81A warming filter.

Weakness:

Wish it came in a soft case rather than the hard plastic case for carrying purposes.

I have Kenko 67mm Circluar Polarizer and I really really like it. I have used and compared with Hoya and Tiffen circular polarizers and found it to be a whole lot better and consistently producing pleasing results. Even though Kenko don't advertise it but it appear that there is a mix of 81A warming filter to it. I recently been to Glacier N.P. in Montana and got some very pleasing results. In fact I just purchased a Multi coated DMC Kenko circular polarizer this week for my Nikon 18-200mm VR lens after considering Hoya's Moose Filter.

Strength:

Price (barely)

Weakness:

Does not filter out all reflections

The verall construction of this filter appeared OK, but it is really the quality of the glass and how effective it is. Having a Hoya polarizer to compare it to I quickly returned the Kenko to the store for a refund The filter allowed approximately 15% more reflection to remain when compared to the Hoya If you are looking for a reasonable Polarizer this one is OK If you want really BLACK water effects - buy the Hoya
