Re: polarising filter
It might be worth considering 2nd hand? I paid £50 for a slightly used Hoya HD Circular Polarising filter, I think they were nearer the £100 - £120 region new.Canon EOS 5D Mark III, EF 135mm F/2 L, EF 16-35mm F/4 L, EF 50mm f/1.8, EF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM, EF 28mm f/2.8

Re: polarising filter
Well, that is a good question...........Originally posted by Fr1so View Post
Hoya will tell you it's because they are "ultra thin" and "scratch resistant".
But as Andy say's, if you keep checking ebay, you may get a bargain (I got an 82mm HD CP for £43, well chuffed)
Hoya Pro 1 filters are a bit cheaper, and depending on the thread size you need, you should be able to get one at your price point.Regards

Re: polarising filter
Price goes with diameter - what filter thread diameter do you want to use it with? If it's 77mm I'd start saving...Comment

Re: polarising filter
Have you looked at SRB Photographics - they were recommended to me and I think someone has mentioned them before on the forum as well.
77mm CP for £20: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B...ilpage_o09_s00
I have only currently got a ND1000 (£30) from them at moment and seems ok.Andy
