Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Nikon 77mm Wide Circular Polarizer II Filter
Customer Review: Great thin NIKON CPL
Summary: 5 Stars
I am standardizing to the 77mm filter size and got this CPL filter as part of that effort. I am using it on my general purpose lens (Nikon 18-200mm on a D300). It works great on that lens (with an adapter).
The CPL rotated nice and smooth. There was no binding or catching when installing or removing this CPL. That was important as I plan on sharing this CPL between a few lenses.
I saw no "vignetting" at 18mm(edit from 3/12/2010, I did see some vignetting at 18 in the corners when looking somewhat into the sun. I don't think it changes anything about this CPL. I love it).
It does add 1 to 1 1/2 or 2 aperture stops. It makes the clouds visible in front of a bluer sky and when rotated correctly, removes glare as it should.
The multi coating surface was clean and clear when I received it and it has cleaned off nicely since then.
The "thinness" of the CPL does not affect how it attaches to the adapter or how the NIKON lens cap attaches to this CPL. It has enough threads to work fine!!!
I purchased the THIN CPL on Amazon since it should fit on to the Wide Angle lens I plan on purchasing in the future (I will update this review when I do). If you do standardize on one size like I did at 77mm, you should get a set of metal stack caps to protect the filters while carrying them.
Description of Nikon 77mm Wide Circular Polarizer II 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. 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. Polarizers do not affect the overall color balance of a shot. It is important that you choose the correct version of polarizer for your camera. Many of today's cameras use semi-silvered mirrors or prisms to split the light entering the viewfinder in order to calculate exposure and focusing distance. Polarizing filters can sometimes interact with these items to give unpredictable exposure or focusing. So we recommend that you choose a circular polarizer unless you have a manual focus camera which has no beam splitter. If you will be using your Polarizing filter on a lens which has a focal length of 28mm or wider (on a 35mm camera), we recommend that you use a Wide Circular Polarizer to avoid a possible vignette effect.Wide filters are designed specifically for wide angle lenses, when using a Wide filter the standard lens cap that comes with your lens may not fit on the front of the filter.
