Are Marumi filters any good?

Pat H · 2nd of August 2005 (Tue)

I just bought a Marumi circular polarizing filter today at a camera shop for $20 because it was open box. I didn't want to pass it up and do research because the store is quite a distance away and $20 for a filter isn't bad at all. Just wondering if anyone has any experience with them or is knowldgable about their quality. If I just bought a useless piece of glass don't be afraid to tell me so

I've got a 55mm circ polarizer from them...seams to work as well as my 52mm Tiffen. I got mine the same way BTW.

I'd be interested to know if I got it the same place you did, because I have to take a trip down to Ocean co. to buy my camera supplies, there's not really many places in Monmouth

I thought no other country except Japan and UAE sold Marumi filters. I do have an 86mm UV filter for my Sigma 50-500 f/4-6.3 and it looks very nice, sturdy filter thread, good quality glass.

I live in the Netherlands. Marumi filters are easily found here in my country.

LarTram, its your first post. Gotcha! lol

Well im glad to know that Marumi caters to the rest of the world, I felt it was weird that I didnt see these filters any where else.

Thanks for the replies. Although I just noticed a small scuff mark on the front of the filter that I didn't catch in the store

Well, that's what I get for buying on impulse, and open box to boot.

Sorry Pat...been away. I got it at a store in Brick Town...the name escapes me at the moment. It's in a mini-mall off of Rt. 70. I've gone there a few times....but for bigger stuff, I've been going to B&H to save the $$$. I don't mind supporting local businesses, but when it's a matter of several hundred dollars...I can't justify that.

If somebody had experience to use Marumi macro filter? Is it good? I have ordered one +4 for my G6. But it will be delivered only in December.
Surprisingly low prices they offere here in Russia, and a very good choice of all kind of filters.

I purchased a Marumi Super DHG CPL recently and I think it is excellent filter. I bought it from 2filter.com, where I buy most of my filters http://2filter.com/marumi/Marumi2009.html. Here is a recent review of CPL filters that rates the Marumi very high: http://www.lenstip.com/115.1-article...ters_test.html
