Looking for a basic but affordable circular polarizer if possible. Just needs to do the job without ruining the image quality, again if possible.

I have used 52mm and 67mm Nikon CPLs for about 15 years and have been well satisfied. I recently purchased a Hoya Pro-1 Digital for another lens and really can't tell the difference. I paid about $75-140 each for the 4 I have. I know that B+W and Heliopan are considered among the best, but they have a higher price than most other good quality filters. Just stay with the major names, keep clear of low price bargains, and you won't go wrong.

I'm sure nothing has changed since 2008.

Are you referring to the tests? While most of those filters are still on the market - and likely to have not undergone any manufacturing changes?

Marumi is probably the "best value" in the market.
But the price has since increases due to many recommendations in forums such as this...

I have 4 Marumi Super DHG CPL's and I'm very pleased. I used a Nikon CPL many years ago and the Marumi CPL is as good if not better. Very thin, blue skies aren't smudgeg but very even and the CPL is well made. The Lenstip review rated the Marumi #1 along with the B&W.

Hoya HD for good glass, easy cleaning, and reasonable price. It's a bear to unscrew though, get stuck on everything I put it on, so I try not to ever screw it all the way in. Especially if you use step up/down rings prepare to spend a while trying to get it unstuck. (get B+W if better quality threads is a priority)
