Cpl Circular Polarizer

Looking for a good CPL filter, can you help?

I am a beginner photographer (taking classes next fall) who plans on using my camera for graphic design work, so I need a good quality filter in the mid-range market. I like the ‘Hoya 58mm Circular Polarizer HMC’ but price-wise it is slightly out of reach. I defiantly want something that is multi-coated. Is there something that is similar in quality to the ‘Hoya 58mm Circular Polarizer HMC’? And would it fit with the double threaded hoya filter i plan on buying? What would you suggest? I’ll probably will just end up saving up to get this one, but I was wondering what kind of options were out there.

Thanks in advance! ^_^

First, its usually not a good idea to “stack” filters, especially when using a wide angle lens. The result may be vignetting (dark corners) on your pictures. I always suggest buying filters in a “thin” or “slim” mount, especially for use on a wide angle.

Second, Hoya is a good brand, as are B+W, Heliopan, Tiffen and Singh-Ray. A quality filter should be considered an investment since they will last a long time with reasonable care.

You should always have a UV/Haze filter on your lens to protect the front element.
