Does anyone have experience with a Tiffen - Digital HT 72mm Circular Polarizing Lens Filter?

Thanks

I don't think apart from make and quality a polar is different to a polar, you often get what you pay for but a good one is the same as any other good one

Check out "search" in this forum. You will be surprised at the difference. Have you even heard of "Marumi DHG ? Tied for first place. Tiffen down around 17th place. Check it out.

You can get 'step up' or 'step down' adapter rings to fit on your lenses so your polarizer filter will fit more than one lens.I just ordered two adapter rings so my 72mm cpf can fit my 77mm and 82mm lenses.Check Amazon and get the metal ones. Ray.

tradio, I tried them on my three lenses and did not see any vignetting. Try one and see.They're not expensive.Ray.
