Product Description
Manufacturer's Description
Light rays which are reflected by any surface become polarised and polarising filters are used to select which light rays enter your camara lens. They allow you to remove unwanted reflections from non-metallic surfaces such as water, glass etc.
They also saturate colors and increase contrast. Polarizers come in two variations but have the same effect. Linear polarizers work with older camera meters; Circurlar polarizers are designed for today's newer split-beam metering systems used in auto focus cameras. Check your camera's manual.

This filter is very well designed if you do not have enough space to carry around a filter hood. It screws into the end of your 58mm diameter lense. For ease of use it has a small handle fixed onto the side to easily rotate the filter to get the desired polarization.

Not the most expensive polariser in the world. But gives adequate results when used with the Canon SX1 and a Lens Mate adaptor. But I'd like to see more sun in the sky to try it with. It seems to have rained almost continuously since I got it. But when used to "see through" reflections from the surface of water, the effect is brilliant so clearly has a very good polariser action. Comes in a hard plastic case and has a tiny screw-in "handle" to ease rotation. I took this off as it's sure to snag on something and the knurled edge of the body is fine for adjustment.

I was concerned about buying this filter because the price was very low compared to Hoya. The decision to purchase was eventually influenced by the fact that the price was an 'offer' from a higher price and other reviewers seemed happy about the optical performance (except one).
In the end, I decided I wanted to experiment with a polariser and this seemed to offer a good starting point. So what I got?
As an engineer, I think the mechanical quality is good and the thing seems to do what it says on the box. To newcomers , I would make the point that the setting of a polariser seems to be quite critical and it is easy to miss the effective part of the rotation. That brings me to my one criticismm of the design...
The filter has a little handle screwed into the side. Would you believe that the weight of the little handle can cause the filter to move off setting with very little provocation. It is difficult to find when on the camera. This makes it awkward to use compared to the excellent knurl on the filter body. A previous reviewer has complained that the handle was easily broken and not much missed.
My advice to users is... take the handle off!. It unscrews easily. Then you have a nice filter that stays put when you take your hand off it.

Good but not essential
Within a short while of using this filter I had already lost the small handle that helps move the lens around. Read more

This is an excellent polarising filter from Hama. Polarisers should be used an an angle close to 90 degrees to the sun and when this is done the filter should give a very strong... Read more

Quite satisfied with the filter. On physical attributes, like it that a tab sticks out the side of the filter to enable easy adjusting of the filter. Read more
