Hellooo!!

I have just got to know that CPL are of great use to enhance the Image Quality, contrast and colors. But I am not sure which CPL to buy for my Kit lens (18-55 non IS). I think its 58mm (Rite?)

But have checked over Australian Ebay, could not find which seems reliable. I am India, so dont have much options.

Please help me

It is a 58mm size. Check out hvstar.net for filters. Great prices and quick shipping even though they're based in Hong Kong.

A good CPL won't improve the IQ of the lens; it'll improve saturation under the right lighting conditions by eliminating or reducing reflections. It should be IQ-neutral. But a cheap (poor) CPL will degrade IQ.

What above link? I use B+W MRC filters; Hoya S-HMC or DMC and Heliopan SH-PMC are also good quality. I wouldn't buy anything but those if I were you.

Another vote for Hoya filter CPL, and hvstar.net is a great shop.
