p.2 #1 · Best circular polarizer?


I've been very happy with my B+W filters in general - the ones with the MRC coating specifically.

I recently replaced my B+W Kaesemann CPL with the latest version that has the MRC coating. The strength of the reflections from the surfaces with the MRC coating are far fainter than with the old filter. I had my old one for about 10 years and it served me well, though it did have a few scratches and was starting to seize up a bit.

I've heard great things about Marumi as well - I don't think you can go wrong with either of them.

I'm in the market for a 77mm CPL, and the ones I'm looking at are the B+W MRC, Nikon, Kenko Zeta, and Hoya HD. All of these are high end multicoated filters, so will there be a noticeable performance difference between them? I should mention that a standard thickness CPL is fine for my needs.



B+W I fine are the best. Very solid and made from brass.

Wow, after seeing the scores for those Marumi filters, looks like I will probably get the Marumi DHG or Super DHG. There are probably slightly better filters for hundreds of $ more, but it seems like the Marumi filters are really excellent value for $.

I both own Heliopan and B+W, normal and warm tone ones. Both are great glass. Make sure they are kept clean all the time.
