I am buying this as a gift. Is one of the filters what I used to call a polarizing filter?

Yes a polarizing lens is included in this kit and I have it on my camera at all times during the day, it makes a difference...

Yes, one of the filters is a polarizing filter. In fact, the kit contains several filters, pretty decent lenses and necessary adapters for the Canon camera. Good value.

yes, but. You need to have the clear filter in place. The polarized filter I have won't stay on without the clear filter first.

Polarizing filters reduce the amount of light passing through them. Typically by about 2 1/2 stops. Rotating the bezel changes the accepted direction of polarized reflected light but not the overall passthrough.If the light is adequate for exposure the camera's auto system will compensate leaving the incoming image as bright as it would be otherwise. But that will be accompanied by wither less depth of field (from a further opened diaphragm) or greater motion blur (from a longer exposure time).

Panasonic circular polarizer filter DMW-LPL46 (46mm) is a really nice polarizer ( I have it). It sells for about $75.00. I also have a Tiffin red enhancing filter for fall foliage ( you don't really need this one, I just like to use it for the maples around here). You might also consider a neutral density filter from B+W, HOYA, or another good brand .

You need both filters. I purchased the recommended pre-filters and they are not the same and my light is on to change the filter all the time. They may be working fine but they are different. I ordered the main filter and haven't received it yet so am not sure if it will work.

Bought this a long time ago, but have not used it much - CP filters are very "personal" - you like them or you don't - Some are warmer, some cooler, and the more expensive ones usually don't seem to change the relative color intensities like many of the cheaper ones (which can make the whole picture seem quite artificial). I'm afraid it's pretty much trial and error trying to find something that you prefer. Sorry I can't be of more help.

I would think that the polarizer would help. The same principle that makes this lens filter work on water reflections will help with your painting reflections.

yes. There is no need to remove the UV filter in order to use a rotating ring polarizing filter.

So... these filters serve two different purposes. The UV filter that I purchased is on my lens to protect the first element when I'm in situations that require me to be less than 100% diligent about where my lens is. A hood serves the same purpose so I supposed it is kinda redundant redundant... The Circular Polarizer is designed to reduce glare coming off of non-metallic surfaces. It can add "pop" to landscapes and cloud scapes much in the same way that polarized sunglasses do for your eyes. They do reduce the amount of light that makes it to your sensor and you'll need to take this into consideration. Hope that helps.

I have been using B & W filters for years, and have seen nothing to support the vignetting that this question poses.

LCD TVs have polarized filters. Lasers emit only one polarization. Turn the pointer 90 degrees. and you'll be able to see it. Green, red, blue doesn't matter, it's all one polarization.

I don't own that lens, but from some reading around it appears that regular filters are fine; however, I will make note that circular polarizers on a wide angle will produce very strange results due to uneven polarization. That may or may not be a concern depending if you want to use it for creative effect.

This lens takes a 52mm filter. Amazon sells kits that include polarizing filters, and a quick Google search for 52mm polarizing filters turns up a bunch of other options, in a variety of price ranges.

I don't believe they are polarized, but they do have uv protection. And the clarity they provide is unmatched, afield I can even distinguish individual blades of grass easily.

Only one lens is polarized. The darkest color. I use these on all my bike rides, and change the lenses depending on the light conditions. A little bulky on the nose and ears, but very effective and a great value. You can't get anything else like it near that price. I took the insert to my local optical store and had prescription lenses made for the insert. It was the least expensive way to go.

You need a UV filter. Trust me, better for a $10 UV filter to get scrtched then your lens. And a circular polarizer is a must have especially since your shooting water shots.

It's a bit smudgy. I use it now to protect old lenses that I don't use much. B+W, Hoya, Tiffen, are all good filters that I currently use and I haven't had any problems with. I advise paying the extra few bucks for the better filters that will last longer.
