Pros

Waspleasantly surprised. Works as well as my tiffen cl polarizer. And one day shipping.

Dg dn art at 70mm)4. It is adjustable. Don't attach it too tight with the lens. The polarizer is basically 2 parts, the part that attaches to the front of the lens, the other to the outer rotating ring that holds the polarizer itself.

With auto wb the camera perfectly compensates for this and the difference is unnoticeable. The only difference is for cpl the iso increased from 100 to 200. Doesn't seem to affect image quality or overall lightness of the image. No noticeable distorti... Read More

The filter is made in china and packaging was nice but not as fancy as more expensive filters. This is much better than many expensive filters producing more than 2stops of light reduction. This filter works as intended and for the price, it's hard to... Read More

Cons

I was seduced by other people's reviews, and believed. Not worth the discounted price" "never again.

When i zoom to 400 mm, the iq drops considerably due to ghosting. Flowers are blurry in the pistils, wood grain blurs, and don't even try any text zoomed in on. It either looks the same or blurry.

The filter design is also very poor, the ring is loose and creaks. I'm not sure if it was because i had rotated it past it's maximum setting or not. Switched to a different circular polarized filter and got much better results.

Quality

Sturdy construction makes it easy to install and use

The polarizing filter was well made and the fit was good

This leads to less quality if you wanted to get picky

The lens kept focusing weird and the camera was losing its mind pictures came out awful

Price

At a fraction of the price this polarizing lens works just fine

Works really good for the price 👌🏼👌🏼

Had wanted a cpl filter but didnt want to spend 60 for some on here

Decent for the money and great for beginner

Packaging/appearance

I love the package to protect the glass i super love the filter it makes a big difference in the picture

Competitiveness

Now i dont have a more expensive one to compare it to but i think this will serve me quite well

Just as good as brand new and saved a little money

Perchased another polerizer same amazon basics with a different size for another lens and had the same problem

I’m sure there are better lenses out there that can probably do this slightly better but for around x3 the price
