Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Hoya 58mm (G SERIES) Circular Polarizer PL CIR Filter

Customer Review: Adapter makes it fit my Canon SX10 IS
Summary: 5 Stars

After I discovered that I can buy a filter adapter for my Canon SX10 camera, I ran to Amazon to purchase this filter. Normally, filters cannot be used (without difficulty) on a Canon SX10 unless you buy an adapter (such as the one from lensmateonline.com but there may be others), which allows me to use any 58mm filter on my camera. A long time ago (in the pre-digital camera age), I used several filters (mostly from Cokin), including a polarizer. Initially, I wasn't sure if the quality of this made-for-digital filter would measure up to my older equivalent made-for-film filter.

But Hoya is a recognized brand name, so I decided to give it a try. I should say that the filter was exactly as pictured on Amazon.com. I attached it to the filter adapter and mounted it on my SX10 and went out on a bright, sunny day (when there were multiple reflections off of glass, chrome, and the ocean) to take some photos. When I downloaded the photos to my computer, the results were everything that I had hoped for.

This filter does exactly what a polarizer is supposed to do. What more can you ask of a filter? My advice is that if you want to capture rich, blue skies and eliminate distracting reflections off of shiny surfaces, this is a wonderful choice. And Amazon (and, in this case, its 3rd party supplier, DBRoth) will provide you with excellent service.

I'm happy I bought the filter. You will be happy too. Now I get digital photos reminiscent of my old Kodachrome slides. In fact, the only thing that was momentarily scary was that when the package arrived, it was so light I thought maybe they had shipped me an empty box. Of course, they hadn't.

Description of Hoya 58mm (G SERIES) Circular Polarizer PL CIR Filter

Light rays which are reflected by any surface become polarised and polarising filters are used to select which light rays enter your camara lens. They allow you to remove unwanted reflections from non-metallic surfaces such as water, glass etc. They also saturate colors and increase contrast. Polarizers come in two variations but have the same effect. Linear polarizers work with older camera meters; Circurlar polarizers are designed for today's newer split-beam metering systems used in auto focus cameras. Check your camera's manual.
