Which Polariser?

[AndyBakerUK]

Ok I want a circular polariser for my lenses but having a look around there seems to be loads varying in price and I assume in quality. Hoya always seem to get good reviews when it comes to filters, although picking one from their range I’m lost.

I’m after a 77mm to fit my Canon 24-105is and Sigma 10-20, and don’t mind ordering from local or aboard so any recommendations from you guys?

Thanks.

Bought Hoya myself. Think it was about £58 from www.warehouseexpress.com. No better or worse than the Jessops digital CP filter though, but that's the same price anyway.

Found these on ebay - much cheaper.

That Hoya seems extremely cheap, are you sure that's genuine/suitable?

Okay after a little more reading I'm finding recommendations for the Hoya 77mm Pro1 Digital CIR-PL Filter DMC/LPF, would this be the one to go for or maybe overkill seeing as filters are all new to me?

I use a Hoya Super HMC Pro Circ Pol. Not the cheapest but it is worth getting the best you can afford.

wot he said
expensive glass needs a few ££ spending on any filter
