Product Description
HOYA 82MM CIRCULAR POLARIZER SUPER HMC FILTER Light rays which are reflected by any surface become polarized and polarizing filters are used to select which light rays enter your camera lens. PL (Linear Polarizing) and PL-CIR (Circular Polarizing) filters have the same effect, but it is important that you choose the correct version for your camera. They allow you to remove unwanted reflections from non-metallic surfaces such as water, glass etc. They also enable colors to become more saturated and appear clearer, with better contrast. This effect is often used to increase the contrast and saturation in blue skies and white clouds. HOYA's polarizing filters do not affect the overall color balance of a shot.

Hoya 82mm SMC Ultra Thin C-PL
By kertel
This filter is a great filter for many reasons. First off it is optimized for use with digital cameras with it's SMC coating. It is also a thin design so it works well on Ultra Wide Angles (I use mine on a 10-20mm) by not creating the vignetting that normal sized C-PL's can create. Hoya makes great products, and this is no exception. This filter is clearly high quality and doesn't have a cheap feel to it that some other brands have. The glass used is very clear and I definitely don't have any reserves about putting this in front of any of my lenses. If you don't have a polarizer already for your lens then a polarizer is a must buy and this is a great choice. Colors will look fuller and the sky more blue. PL's also remove glare from surfaces. If you like to shoot landscapes then I highly recommend you invest in a good C-PL. (Make sure you get a "circular" polarizer, not just a regular polarizer as those can mess with light metering and auto-focus)
