Good link Tim, in that case it's probably: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Marumi-Super-Circular-Polarising-Filter/dp/B001AL1QGA then!

I've just bought the Hoya 52mm and 67mm SLIM Circ Polarizer and am very happy with the difference that the SLIM version makes to reducing vinegetting at wide angles. Pay a little more but worth it for the time it save post processing.

Don't go cheap.... unless its from good word of mouth. I tend to stick to Hoya or BG.... but have got a great Jessops 77mm.

German: either B+W or Heliopan. I recently picked up a brand new B+W current F-PRO circ polar 52mm for a mere £25. Just keep searching fleabay or general google searches. These two German made filters are the best and you do not need pay the earth either.

Does anyone have recommendations for polarizing filters? I want a decent piece of glass without paying the earth. I am using a K-r with 18-50mm lens. Filter size is 52mm
Thanks
