Polarized lens
Is there much of a differance in the differant brands of polarized lens, what about the "off" brands on e-bay. I would like to have one for each of my lenses, about 10 in total.
I am using a Nikon D70. Thank You, Eric |
Any filter adds an optical element to a lens, and the quality of that element can have a substantial effect on image quality.
See:Polarizing filters are only affective outdoors in bright sunlight. If you don't use all your lenses outdoors, you can skip some. Another thing to consider is that Polarizing Filters lose 1-2 stops of light, so you'll need slower shutter speeds, larger apertures and/or higher ISOs to get the same shots you're getting now without them. |
G'day Eric
TC is pretty right here - also .... in my photo workshops I come across too many people with "$10-specials off ebay" where they are fuzzy [glass poor quality] &/or hardly any noticable pola effect at all in the image I suggest you only buy 'good' branded filters where you can be sure of good IQ from each pic you take Regards, Phil |
Most people have told me that B+H MRC are the best with Marumi next, how close are the Marumi's to the B+H considering it looks like they are about twice as much? Are there any others to even consider (i.e. Tiffen, Kenko, ect.)?
Thanks, Eric |

BTW, everything you read about the importance of quality filters goes double for Polarizing filters, because Polarizing filters are, in fact, two filters in one. The kinds of things that make a bad filter bad will make a Polarizing filter twice as bad.
