Yes
I know most will say go for a Hoya pro, but for what I use a polariser for I can't justify the cost, so has anyone had experience with the Zomei or similar priced CPL i.e. £20ish?
 
I have a Zomei 10 stop ND filter and have found it to be pretty good. For the money (£35ish for a 77mm version) it's good.
As for a similarly priced CPL, take a look at Kenko. I bought a Kenko 77mm CPL from SRS via ebay for about £20. Not used it a great deal (hence why I didn't want to spend loads) but it seems fine.
Here's the model I got (different size though) http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Kenko-72m...sing-Filter-/272410973553?hash=item3f6cf59571
FYI, Kenko is part of the Tokina/Hoya group anyway.
 
Zomei infrared filters are spot on, cpl should be fine too.
 
I also have the 10stop, only used it once or twice but I'm happy with it for the money. Although you can see a colour cast in some situations
 
Thanks guys, this gives me the confidence to go with either Zomei or Kenko.
