Wanted: 52mm Circular Polarizing Filter
Thanks for your comments. Really there is no point getting lets say Hoya for 20 quit? Will it damage the picture quality?

Wanted: 52mm Circular Polarizing Filter
I can't comment as I haven't used one but given exists and sells (I assume) I doubt that a 20 quid lens will be as good. Can't see the point of spending a fortune on a good lens to stick a coke bottle on the end of it. I know I'm being unkind but there must be some reason one filters costs 80 ...

Try a second hand LINEAR filter. People think they need circular polarisers so the linear ones go for less on ebay. Hoya ones go for under £20 usually and Hoya is a brand I would trust. The linear ones work, no matter what anyone tries to tell you - on Pentax at least. The picture here was taken ...

Hoya didn't do so well in , even though the same site's UV filter review ranked Hoya as 1st, 2nd and 4th. You should be able to get a good quality 52mm CPL for a whole lot less than £80. I got my 77mm Marumi CPL (ranked 4th out of 25 in the above review) for about £60.

I agree I wasted my money on a cheap CPL and I wouldn't spend £80 as the facility isn't worth that to me which leaves me in a conundrum. I thought the Pentax metering or AF was unaffected by linear polarisers in contrast to other brands? So that might be a cheaper way to get the same result?

...second hand in good condition. Ideally some decent brand (i.e. Hoya) Thanks Pietrach OK - I don't use it any more so you can have it. I have a 52mm Cokin P adapter, Cokin P holder and Cokin P 164 circ polarizing filter. Will that do? I'll even throw in a couple of P 152 ND filters - but unfor...

One question though (but I will still take it): my understanding is tak circular polarizer requires spinning to get different effects. How would that work if I wan to use the ND grad filters at the same time?

The Cokin system has slots for the filters to slot into - two at any one time - the NDs are square and slot in either the front or back position. The Circ Pol is circular so it can spin, but only goes in the furthest back position (nearest the lens) specially for circular filters so it can sit betwe...

so are you happy with 10 pounds via paypal? what address should i use to pay? The postage is probably not half that - I'll PM you when I post it and if you are still keen on paying, wait until you get everything in one piece (after all I'm sending glass) before sending. Honestly it's not worth anyth...
