Hey guys and gals,
I need a quick primer on circular polarizers. The local store (Calumet) has a super multi-coated 72 mm for $114.99 for my Canon 28-200 lens.

It's the Calumet house brand made for them by Hoya.

Since this 28-200 lens is basically just my walking around lens I figured it would be ok.

Does anyone have any comments on this potential purchase? When I look at CP there are a lot of them.

What's the difference?

Thanks!
