Or the Haida Brand???

Never heard of it although the Haida are a North American Indian tribe found on the West coast of Canada. But that probably doesn't help you much.

Thank you Bill very much for the research that I should have done in the first place.
How did your Astrophotography work out for you?

Thank you Dr Wilk. That's really interesting about the Indian Tribe in the Great Northwest.

If it's a cheapie, avoid it. Here's a comparison of polarizers. prices are in Polish currency. I got the Marumi.

Don't know anything about that brand, but I would recommend buying a cir-pl based on reviews of it's quality, not price. With cir-pl filters the larger the diameter the more likely you are to have issues with uneven color, making them worse then no filter at all if you get a poor quality one.

Thank you Jerry, the Marumi looks to be a quality filter I'll look into getting one.

Thank you LFingar I learned that lesson the hard way. I'll look into Jerry's idea of the Marumi CLP.
