| Who makes the best polarizing filters? Are there Canon-specific filters? I haven't found any...but they seem to make everything else. Thanks in advance. |

| I think you can pay as much as you want for a particular filter. I personally use Cokin - they are not too expensive and it's easy to use them on multiple lenses. |

Cokin is good for graduated filters as that system is the most flexible with those.

| Do polarizing filters ever cause images to get blurry...or give the image a "double vision" effect? I had that happen with a Crystal Optics polarizing filter the other day. Everything was in double vision. But after I took off the filter, everything was fine again? Just curious. I'll ceck out B+W and Cokin. Thanks. |

Polarizing filters don't tend to do that. I would say it's either a crappy filter you have or just a defective one.

Does anyone have a link to a website for B+W? I'm trying to find out where they have production facilities. There is a B+W down the road from me here in Murfreesboro, TN but I'm not sure if its the same company. A quick google search doesn't find anything. Guess I should just stop in and ask. I thought I'd try finding the companies website first and find out if they had production facilities here.
Thanks,
Mike |

what about the canon polarizers? has anyone had experience with those?
oh and some polarizers say they have protective coatings? does that mean they can also double as a uv protector? like, do they mount on the front element of the lens like a uv protector does?

I remember reading in Popular Photography that they could not see any difference on prints when using cheap vs. expensive filters. So I tend to use the cheapest (Hoya Green colored container series).

Circular polarizer or Linear Polarizer?
