I need a 67mm polarized filter. What is a good brand? I have a Nikon D7100.

Stick with Hoya, Tiffen, or B+W and buy from a reputable dealer like B&H or Cameta.

Completely agree except that I would put B+W first in the list :)

Lee Filters, hand made, regarded as the best filters in the world, at a price.

True but they don't make 67mm filters. They make 100mm and 105mm filters to fit into their adapters.

B+W, Rodenstock, Hoya in that order IMHO. You did say 'good'. Make sure you get the multi coated version of whatever you buy. B+W designation is MRC.

What's wrong with Nikon?

If you are talking about a circular polarizer I bought a cheap Sunpak a while back and ended up buying a Hoya later on. The Sunpak works but not smoothly.

It's not better than Marumi, and it is double the cost:

Make sure a lens cap will fit on the front. There are some "thin" filters that a cap will not clip onto, unless you never use a cap the never mind. Those brands above work well, I like Hoya for value and quality.
