Tiffen 77CP Slim 77mm Circular Polarizer Filter for Camera Lens, Glare Control, Contrast Increase, Color Enhancing

I have had many polarizers over the years. I have used filters such as this for over 25 years. I like the Tiffen as it is not too dark for most uses. I keep it on for almost every shot (unless it is night time or quite dark) to protect my lenses and for it's mild polarizing effect. (I take 1000s of images on a shoot, mostly landscape) Some other brands are too dark to do this. The dark ones many times look too polarized, and post processing has to take much of this out anyway. I do have a few of these and use them occasionally. I have found that an image that is properly balanced that does not need too much darkening or lightening post processing is much better, I have a Hoya but it is always falling apart (and way too dark). I have Heliopan 77mm Circular Polarizer Lens Filters and like the quality, but again they are too dark to keep on all the time. The Heliopan is the one I keep for special uses when I want more polarizing effects than I get with the Tiffen. The Tiffen polarizers I have had only were replaced when they became too scratched for use, broken from being dropped or run into things, or lost over board in my boat. As I said a couple of Hoya ones were replaced because they fell apart. I use a Canon 5D with all high end L series lenses (most costing well over $1000.00) and have sold over 1300 framed GiClees ($300-$800 each). I feel that this filter does not compromise the quality of my images. So in review. I don't want an unnatural appearance due to my filters. I do want the pleasing effects I can achieve with the Tiffen filter. I have never had a problem with any I had purchased, so recommend them to others. And I will continue to use them myself.

Using this primarily for real estate photography to cut glares out of floors. Works super well especially for window cast on wood floors. Also deepens the blues really nicely. Don’t really see a loss of sharpness, really inexpensive for what it does. Using it with my canon 5d Mark iv and a 16-35!

Absolutely great filter for my camera! I've been using this years and haven't had a single problem!

Not the best filter available, but it works for my purposes.

It helped a lot while I was out in Japan for two weeks, pretty good investment for the price

Nice quality filter

I have used Tiffen lens filters for many years. Their quality is unmatched. Never had a bad one. They protect my lenses as well as protect my images. I keep looking for excuses to buy more Tiffen filters and they are made in the USA. Can't beat that. You will love them too.

The main annoyance, and the only one i found to be, is getting the polarizer on and off. By the time you mess around with it and get it securely on, you have just as much difficulty getting it back off. Besides that fact it actually works really well. I had just bought a new lens, we all know how expensive that can be, so i wasn't particularly interested in buying a polarizer for another $80. And because i found this so much more cheaper, i probably never will again, i have attached some photos below of the difference between the two price ranges. I don't see enough of a difference, personally, to warrant the extra money on the more expensive one. One is on my kit lens, with an 80$ polarizer. And the wide angle lens is the one with this polarizer

Don't understand how there are so many reviews saying this CPL doesn't work, or is poor quality. The one I receieved (77mm) was clean and smooth turning. It really removes alot of reflection. In fact if pointed at a computer monitor, it can turn the monitor completely black on its maximum position which is quite impressive. I did make my own little mark to indicate the maximum/minimum positions as it does lack that. I however only paid 28$ cad (as opposed to the listed 42.12$ cad) for this filter NEW fulfilled by amazon warehouse deals because I assume someone ordered it and canceled it. It still arrived in undamaged packaging and not a fingerprint on the filter. Really really glad I checked the 'new and used' section to save about 15$!

It is amazing to see it works. The item was shipped from abroad, but I was amazed too see how carefully it was packed and delivered. I have attached a comparative set of images. I liked it

Muy bien

tiffen un marchio una garanzia! filtro che non lascia spazio a compromessi! nessuna aberrazione nessuna vignettatura! semplicemente essenziale per video e scatti in esterne UPDATE 2020: In realtà il prodotto soffre di forti shift del colore con dominanti verdastre al variare dell'intensità. Come tutti i variabili tra le altre cose soffre anche della forma a croce data dall'intersecazione dei due polarizzatori. Consiglio di valutare altri brand per ND variabile e di cercare di preferire sempre gli ND fissi.

Muy buena calidad, viene lubricado al ser filtro polarizado cruzado, y se agradece pues al roscarse y quitarlo cuidan el producto, y al ser cruzado uno puede manipular los reflejos, sin viñetas, incluso siendo 77mm en 17mm le temía a las viñetas, pero nada, lo único q puedo criticar esq al inicio, el primer día hacía un sonido como de cuerda de reloj antiguo al girar,un detalle muy agradable, y ya no, deben mejorar eso, aunque no compromete el funcionamiento de la imagen, era un detalle agradable...
