Don't go cheap. B&H Or Adorama online should have a good selection.

I would look at Hoya, B&W, and Breakthrough. These are not the only ones but some of the best and consistent ones. When searching websites like Adorama, etc., be sure to use "thin" as a search filter.

The Break thru & Polar Pro have great reviews. Hoya & B+W are also good. Call B&H & talk to a tech there for which ones are best on which ever brand you choose. Either way you want there high end multi coated!

I've used both Marumi an Hoya with good results, and B + H has a great reputation. Not all are good - I had a cheap one years ago that really messed up some good images. Not everyone agrees but I suggest the top of the line in whatever brand you choose.

A good comparison review, although it is four years old now.

Here are links to some not-so-recent tests. One article I read online compared cheap and expensive CPLs, and there wasn't much difference. I have a couple of Marumi filters.

Get a B+W CPL. They are the best!

Breakthrough photography filters are great. Prefer them over Nikon, B+W, Hoya and others. Buy on line from their website or on Amazon
