You Get What You Pay For
(2 out of 5) by Seth Dewey on Oct 25, 2009 (Nashua, NH USA)On my Sony A-330 DSLR, this filter caused both focus and exposure problems. Auto exposures were consistantly underexposed. The camera appeared to have no problems auto focusing, but the resulting images were frequently blurry. By using manual exposure, and manual focus, I was able to get some nice images with this filter, but that is often inconvenient. The ring on this filter is quite thick, so vignetting is likely with wider angle lenses. A filter at this price range is not going to be multi-coated, so in-lens reflections can occur when shooting towards the sun.
I later purchased the Hoya 55mm DMC PRO1 Digital Circular Polarizer. This costs much more, but has been yielding excellent results, without any of the problems I had with the Sunpak.

CP Circular Polarizing Filter
(3 out of 5) by J. Sayson on Sep 15, 2009 (Vancouver, BC CANADA)NOT what I was expecting. Got this filter for a digital SLR camera, because the write ups all say that the newer digital cameras require circular polarizing filters as newer cameras will not work with the older type of linear polarizing filters. The downside, is that this type of polarizing filter does NOT cut out the reflection and glare as well as the linear one.
I guess one just has to use this because the way newer camera work, they don't (always) work with the linear PFs. (Something to do with the light metering systems and auto focus functions.) In any event, it is something I have to keep experimenting with, and maybe just get used to using.
