polariser filter ?

Is it worth spending more money on a polarising filter ?
Ive seen some for £12 and some at £39 and some for even more, but can you see any difference between them and why is there a big price difference.

I don't know what your camera and lens combination is, but I suspect you have a fair investment in both. If so, why would you degrade the image quality by fitting a cheap polarizer?

Go for the best you can afford.

It's a good question. I'd rather see a data-led answer. Are expensive ones likely to produce a better image?

For a data led answer check google. Many magazines have compared cpl filters. There is a difference in quality BUT as with everything there is a point where things become a rip off.

That is the classic and there review pretty much sums it up, virtually all filters have the same polarisation performance but beyond that there are a few key differences.

Thanks for the replies, some interesting points to look into, cheers.
It's pretty much what I was expecting, but had it confirmed now.
