Most folks run to Hoya for all their filters, nothing wrong there as the company makes some fine filters at various price points (avoid the super budget stuff though) But in this case it's worth looking at other makers too.Marumi are a make I've been using for a few years now, and I've been very pleased with their products overall.This Polariser isn't cheap, you can hit the usual auction site for bargains (some are ok, some are not) The DHG is the digital high grade range of filters (the super DHG has an additional coating on it to aid cleaning)At this price you start to get good quality, but without the B+W wallet busting price. This filter outperformed the B+W CPL filters on lenstip's testing,and most other makers too. In the real world it's well made, with a slim frame so vignetting is less of an issue on wider angle lenses.Rotating the filter is smooth and without any grinding, optical quality is very good with an excellent polarising effect on images.As a side note a CPL is useful for a few areas in photography- Removing reflections on non metallic objects, and for effect in Landscape photography (darkening of the sky and increasing contrast)I tend to use them mostly for removing reflections which can be useful for product photography or items in display glass, but the effect can also be handy for cutting out water reflections too. If it's not metal a CPL will kill reflections with ease.For scenic work a CPL can be very useful, however I'd resist the temptation to use one all the time, or to always use one "dialled up to the max". When you rotate the filter the effect of polarisation becomes stronger, but there are times when you might not want to use it at it's strongest. In short a very useful filter (I'd buy a step down ring for smaller filter sizes it can get expensive otherwise), though to be used when required and with some caution (with wider angle lenses you get edge darkening with a CPL this is the effect of polarisation not vignetting)It's also worth noting you do lose some light with a CPLThe Marumi is a good filter, well made and with good optics, there can be some very slight flare when used with strong light sources, though many rivals have a little here too. A fair price for a good product

I love marumi filters. These DHG filters have very good coatings to protect the glass and to reduce unwanted ghost images from bright lights, eg in night photos. They are good value for money.A polarising filter is useful for boosting the saturation of colour in skies and it. It also affects the way reflected light is seen, so they can be used to emphasise or diminish reflections, eg from water or non metal surfaces. By reducing the reflections they can also help to boost the saturation of colours in foliage and other objects. If you want to see the effect, look at any travel brochure. Those boats that seem to float above crystal clear seas? All done with a polariser. The rich dark blue skies and saturated scenery?All helped alown with a polariser.The two photos attached show the ghost image caused by a cheap filter and a Marumi DHG. There is still a tiny reflection from the Marumi, but it is hardly noticeable.I have many marumi, I see no point in spending more when these offer superb quality. I have had some cheap filters in the past, but it is worth finding quality if you want good results.

really like marumi filters and find the dhg and super dhg are best performance to price. I prefer them over my hoyas, testing confirms quality of foil lenstip.com/115.1-article-Polarizing_filters_test_Introduction.html Not too bad in small sizes but many brands get silly price in large sizes but these don't. The super has better transmission but for £20 more it isn't worth the extra for me as use a tripod in situations I have cpl on so less of an issue and slightly thicker mount too but vignetting hasn't been noticeable for me. I have them in multiple sizes but starting out I'd buy one max diameter and use stepdown rings,can get super thin ones so less likely to cause vignetting if any at all and it would have been cheaper.

I originally ordered a Gobe schotte glass polariser , I thought quality wasn’t good enough , hardly any polarisation effect . So I sent it back and ordered a Marumi polariser . The difference is much saturated colours for using it for landscape photography . No problems with auto focus , and picture quality is good . This is mainly used on my 300mm lens for bird watching from bird hides where there’s a lot of reflection from lakes and ponds . I just wish it had a wider frame on filter to easily rotate . But it seems all filters are being made slimmer . That’s why I gave 4 stars .

If you have to use a filter, pick good ones. This one is one of those, and doesn't seem to impact on auto systems (I've had a Tiffen that really mucked up AF). The Marumi brand is one I had to research a little before buying, having normally bought Hoya or B&W, but this has proved to be an excellent choice, with image quality unchanged, other than with the desired effect of the filter.If you want to know more, look up lenstip.com, where they have excellent test data for various filters.Overall, recommended for the price, but match it well to the quality of lens you have too.

Having bought a 37mm Marumi Circular Polarising filter out of necessity (it was the only 37mm I could find) I was very please with its quality and effects; consequently, I bought another. To summarise, the Marumi Circular Polarisers seem to me to have a less dramatic effect than other brands in my collection - which I regard as a good thing. Circular Polarisers can excessively or unevenly darken your sky and when working with a small monitor this might not be apparent until it's too late. My Marumi Circ Pol filters seem less prone to this problem.

I am new to photography and this is my first polarising filter. I've read many positive reviews about this product and it seems to be a good quality one.Used it a couple of times on my 18-55mm lenses and have to say I loved it. It makes your photos much more appealing with strong blue skies and much less reflections (water, windows, etc).I highly recommend it.

I've got three of them and using with different lensesA Pentacon 29mm f2.8, a Chinon 35mm f2.8 and a Chinon 135mm f2.8.I cannot see any distortion coming from the filter, it protect the glass and despite I loose a spot or two it doesn't really bother me because now I can have more punchy images.Construction quality is high and it looks very solid.

Historically, always been a Hoya fan, but the reviews were so positive for this that I gave it a try. Using it on the Fujinon 35mm f2 (with an XT2). No vignetting (that I can detect) and is a super filter. A very marked effect on skies (some cheaper CPLs give a bland change). A good, dampened resistance while twisting. Very pleased.

Equipped with the Marumi improved antireflection coatings (DHG) and blackened glass edges this filter has a good price/quality ratio. The ring works smoothly and it's easy to clean. It produce some small amount flares around direct sources within the frame, that i find quite pleasant anyway.

Use it every time I shoot, would not be without it ANYWHERE. It has saved my valuable lens from desert sand blowing, corrosive seaspray, debris during storms or pollution in urban environments. A good investment for any photographer...pro or beginner.

Far superior build quality to my other Hoya PRO-1 circular polariser which started to fall apart.It also outperforms the Hoya PRO-1. Search the net for 'circular polariser test', overall it even beats one of the B&W filters!

Inexpensive but very good quality. I will consider Marumi when buying additional filters, as the quality and price attracts those of us whose purse doesn't extend to buying those of the leading filter companies.

This circular polarising filter is one of the best I have used. It is easy to adjust for maximum effect. It has enabled me to take some stunning pictures of cloud formations.

Helps produce saturated water colour. I just need to fathom exactly how to make the most out of it.
