Tiffen 82POL 82mm SR Polarizer Filter

Exelente polarizado

What can I say that needs to be said about Tiffen the Academy award winning Filter company?Tiffen along with, Heliopan, B+W, Lee, Formatt Hitech are the front runners for the filter industry. This is such a nice lens to have. Fits PERFECT, does the job PERFECT, what more.

I really enjoy using this linear polarizer on my prime lens when taking pictures inside the school gym and there are reflections from the sun off the hardwood floor. I use it on my Nikon D7100 camera and have not had any focusing issues. Too bad the supplier shipped it to me in a thin cardboard envelope because one of two filter cases were crushed. I don't need to use the polarizer all the time and would store the filter in its case.

Optically this surpasses my b+w polarizers that cost double. This polarizer is the most neutral I've used, as the more expensive German b+w's have the slightest purple tinge. I'm not a fan at all of Hoya as they have a very slight brownish tinge.If you want neutral, get a USA made Tiffen. The effect is very slight, but the Tiffen keeps the colours neutral which is more important.Build quality is aluminum, it is no better or worse than a cheap Chinese one or an expensive Japan made Hoya. The brass made b+w's are significantly better constructed. Tiffen makes a titanium version, but it is actually more expensive than b+w.The biggest let down with the Tiffen is the quality of the coating, as it is very reflective and can cause ghosting or veiling flare. This is where the Hoya and the b+w are superior. You'll have to always use a decent hood or flag to keep contrast up if your shooting into something backlit.The neutral colour performance has stunned me, and I'm seriously thinking about changing over my other b+w polarizers to Tiffen - perhaps the Titanium versions.

Polarizzatore di ottima fattura sia il telaietto in alluminio che la lente vera e propria.Svolge egregiamente il suo lavoro e non ho notato una vignettatura particolare.
