Description
Polarizers provide color and contrast enhancement. Reflected light often shows up as whitish glare that washes out color in an image. A Polarizer corrects this problem producing deep, dramatically blue skies. It also removes glare from non-metallic surfaces, such as windows and water. Color saturation in general, especially outdoors, can be improved significantly.A Circular Polarizer has the same effect as a Polarizer and is used on cameras with beam splitting metering systems commonly found on auto-focus SLRs.

Tiffen filters
[ Posted: 2008-11-11 ]
Tiffen has long been a name known for quality filters. Of the lower-priced filters, they are probably the best.
ASTOUNDINGLY CHEAP! BUY SOMETHING BETTER!!!

Wow, I was very very very unimpressed with these filters. Not just mediocore, but there was dust on the lenses and you can tell by just holding them they are cheap as sin. PLEASE DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY. IF YOU HAVE ANY HOPES OF TAKING AMAZING PICTURES, UPGRADE!!!
Received 2 damaged filters

I tried to get good product from Amazon twice. The first filter was covered with dust on both sides. Blew off the dust and filter was dirty enough underneath I did not want to deal anymore with it. The actual filter case was not closed completely when I received it, nor would it close completely.
They were very good at getting out a replacement quickly.
The second filter also had dust on it, and some spotted residue. I blew off the dust, gently cleaned the filter, only to find a scratch in the middle inside face of the filter, rendering it useless for photo work.
Neither filter was new as advertised. Both had obviously been used. I hope they don't try to send out both filters again.
Other filters I purchased through other vendors at the same time arrived fine and in great condition.
Amazon was prompt at refunding my money for the filter when I said I wanted to return it.
I just wish I had gotten a new unblemished filter so I could review how it works with my camera.
It was the wrong size

I ordered the filter to go with the camera, but it was the wrong size--the camera needed a 52mm filter. Otherwise the filter was fine.
62mm Tiffen filter kit is so-so...

Very affordable, but that comes with a quality trade-off. The threads are not the greatest and the "laminated" filters can have slight manufacturing defects. One of my filters came with a small air trap bubble in it. Its small and near the outer edge. Perhaps tiffen would replace, but since it doesn't affect image quality, I am not to worried about it. If you want a set of filters that you can just throw in your pocket for a walk around then the price is right. If you are very serious about photography, then I'd look elsewhere.
