I need to get a new circular polarizer. The candidates are Breakthrough Photography X4 CPL that they claim is the best available @ $149. The next contender would be B+W XS-Pro HTC at $95.50, or Hoya Pro1 at $61. Which one is the right choice? I am willing to pay more for a better resulting image.
I would love to see a comparison of a single image taken with your 3 choices. I believe you would not see a difference. For the what's it worth department, my company had a project that Hoya was working on for us. I could not believe what I observed and asked about. At that time Hoya was making all the filters for Nikon and Cannon and Vivitar. I was told the difference was in the specification for the mount ring. At that time Nikon specified a Brass ring.
