I need a 67mm cpl for a canon lens. Does anyone have experience or knowledge of mefoto brand quality. Have been unable to find any decent reviews. Burt

It's too new to have reviews, and filters don't seem to be very popular review subjects. Going by this Polish review from 2015, I would get the Hoya, for about $55.

You won't.
Stick with Tiffen, Hoya, B+W, Sigma, and other reputable brands for good quality optical glass filters.

There's a review on BHP here https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1132914-REG/mefoto_mcp58t_58mm_wild_blue_yonder.html Doesn't say much though. I would spend the extra 10 bucks or so and buy a Hoya (a tried, trusted and good brand).

Thank you. Had read it. Have a rewards gift card from b and h but I believe it has limited product use. Have Hoya on another lens so know they are good. Will call b&h to see what they say. Thanks for all uhh relies. Burt

Junk. You can do better with Hoya, Marumi, and even Tiffen has a decent one - there is only a slight advantage spending the big bucks for a premium brand, like B&W or Heliopan - I've got a Marumi and a B&W, and I see zero advantage. Both have a color cast (easy to fix), and both are multicoated and provide great images. One was very cheap.

Mine are B&W and Tiffen. B&H about every couple of months puts a B&W polarized filter on sale at a very good price. Last time they did it I bought one for my largest front element and a few step down filter rings for my other lenses. Nice filter.

To a certain extent all filters supposedly deteriorate the image to a certain extent. That simply means get the best filter you can afford.
If your budget is low there is always the option of a good second hand filter.
Keeping the filter clean before shooting is a must but that is a different story that could be discussed some other day.

I already own a cheap Tiffen polarizing filter. A friend owns a cheap Hoya. The cheaper ones, obviously are not on an equal basis as the most expensive ones. It's up to you what you are willing to pay. Another option is the Breakthrough Brand filters. Good luck.

Marumi for me. I've owned a B+W Kaeserman but liked Marumi better and sold the B&W.
