ian green Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 beware of cheapest Tiffens they offer - CPLs sometimes have faint but ugly tint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alex_lofquist Posted June 23, 2008 Share Posted June 23, 2008 The Hoya/Kenko multicoated CPs are about $100 for a 77mm diameter at Filterhouse.Com. What size are you looking for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed_Ingold Posted June 26, 2008 Share Posted June 26, 2008 Low-end Tiffen filters are not coated or the coating is ineffective. This causes a huge reduction in contrast when shooting outdoors, especially into the light. Tiffen has some high-end, coated filters which are as expensive as B+W and Heliopan filters, but without the high quality glass and construction. Hoya filters are comparable to B+W optically, but have an aluminum (vs brass) mount which tends to flex and jam in place and is subject to stress corrosion.
