It's just OK

from Whittier, CA
I needed a polarizer for my D80 Nikon 18-135 lens & saw this at Best Buy. The price was 1/3 that of a Hoya or Tiffen filter so I thought I would give it a try. Well, you get what you pay for. I took several scenic shots around the home with and without the filter & then downloaded them into Photoshop Elements. When you start zooming in on the image it is readily apparent that the resolution suffers with the filter on. The glass that they use is definitely not of the highest quality. The polarizer worked fine & you get a bluer sky. For general shots at a distance when detail is not important, the filter is OK......but, if you want to get the most out of the cameras resolution, you better stick with Hoya, Tiffen, or some other high quality glass. This is one of those times that you get what you pay for.
What's great about it: Good price...it works, sort of
What's not so great: Softens image too much
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
