Best bang for the buck!

A Polarizing Filter is the only filter who's effects can't be duplicated in post production (Photoshop, etc,). This filter helps cut through atmospheric haze, removes the sheen from glossy surfaces such as wood, shiny rocks, and leaves. It has the ability to reduce or remove the sheen from water surfaces so you can see the fish, logs, and rocks below the surface. Like magic, it can reduce or completely remove reflections from glass. This can be most helpful when you need to photograph a person in a car when the windows are rolled up, displays in store windows, when you need to see the pattern of polished wood, or art pieces mounted behind glass. With this filter your outdoor pictures can look sharper (have more detail), and have better color. I say, 'can have' because all these effects depend on the angel of the filter in relation to the light source. Check the internet for a detailed explanation. You may have a very dramatic effect, or no effect at all. With this filter you will loose almost two stops of light. With today's digital cameras this really isn't a problem when shooting outside where there is plenty of light. But you may want to take it off when shooting inside. Not all polarizing filters are created equal! The Moose Warming Polarizing filter is actually two filters in one...the polarizer plus an 81A filter that reduces the blue cast present in almost all outdoor scenes. I don't know of any other polarizers that do this. Remember, the larger the filter the more expensive it will be. If you have several lenses, consider getting a filter for your largest (diameter) lens then get inexpensive step-down adapter rings so you can use one filter on all your lenses. This filter is a bit thicker than some others, so be aware that if you mount it directly onto a very wide angle lens, you may get dark corners. I get around this problem by using a step up adapter rings so I can use a filter that is much wider than the diameter of the lens. Another important thing to remember; these filters are made up of two interlocking parts...the threaded part that screws into the front of your lens, and an outer part that rotates. Once you have the filter on the lens, you need to rotate the outer part to see the effect. Remember this: Always rotate the filter counter-clockwise (from behind the camera). This way you will never accidentally unscrew the filter and have it shatter on the rocks at your feet. Yes, it happened to me! I hope this helps. Have fun and stay focused!Read full review...
