Sep 15, 2012 21:38 | #2 Of course all answers are going to be only opinions, but FWIW, I went through the process of looking for a best value CPL filter about a year ago. I ended up with the Marumi Super DHG and have not been disappointed. I took it on a trip to Antigua specifically for beach and landscape shots. Unbelievable colors and contrast without post-processing and glare/reflection elimination that worked flawlessly. If I lost or broke this CPL, I'd buy another one without hesitation.

Apricane Shooting the breeze More info | Sep 16, 2012 08:43 | #4 I'm personally using a B+W Kaesemann, and have no real complaints about it. My ability to compare to other CPLs is limited, as I've never used another brand before, but I still wouldn't hesitate to buy the same brand for other filter sizes. Apricane flickr

gjl711 Wait.. you can't unkill your own kill. 57,738 posts Likes: 4072 Joined Aug 2006 Location: Deep in the heart of Texas More info | Sep 16, 2012 10:01 | #6 I have two, a B+W Kaesemann I purchased because it was touted as one of the top CPLs and a cheap Digital Concept CPL from Japan Optics that I got from purchasing a used lens. In all honesty It is almost impossible for me to tell the difference between the two other than each has a slightly different color cast and requires slightly different post processing to correct for. Not sure why, but call me JJ.

Sep 17, 2012 09:34 | #8 I bought a Marumi based on reviews and testing. get yourself a 77mm filter and just use a step up ring. you'll appreciate it when you get lenses with a 77mm filter size Phillip - phillipwardphotography.com
