Good Polarizer for 10-22mm Canon

01/05/2008 02:42:23 PM · #1

Hi I just recently bought the Canon EF-S 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 USM and want to buy a good circular polarizing filter that will really make skys pop. I was wondering if anyone could recommend a good filter?

Thanks for any help you can provide.

I have a standard CP filter from Sunpak that I got cheap, and it's an OK polarizer but it's not low-profile. At 10mm there is slight vignetting in the corners. If you want no vignetting at 10mm you need to get an expensive, low-profile polarizer; it comes in a thinner mount.

I use the Pro1 Hoya CPL and havent had any problems with it on my 10-20 sigma. It is designed for wide angles with a low profile thread, so vignetting doesnt occur due to the thread. And i havent noticed any vignetting due to thick glass either as you might get on cheaper versions. Would recommend - but it is a bit pricey - paid Â£55-60 for my 77mm one.

Robert,

I've been using the 10-22 lately (renting it from my local photo shop). When the Pro 1 Hoya is on, does the lens cap still fit tightly?

By the way, I've rented the 10-22 so much lately that I hope to buy one in the next couple of weeks (before the Canon rebates expire). My first DPC challenge entry with that lens earned me a 6.3212 score:

Well, I use the 67mm Pro1 Hoya on my 70-200, and the cap is not a problem with that one...

I use a Heliopan slim 77mm filter on mine. It's a good CP, and about 2/3 the price of a Pro1, however I was annoyed that it doesn't come with a lens cap. Note that with such a wide angle lens, you can't really shoot a horizontal landscape photo with a polarizer because you'll get a dark band in the area of strongest polarization. You almost HAVE to shoot in portrait orientation.

This was taken with my Canon EF 10-22mm lens with a Hoya Pro1 Circular PL. The focal length on this shot was 10mm and it hasn't been cropped.

... and the lens caps fits over the filter without a problem.

I ask because I had heard that with some low-profile filters, there is not enough room for the lens cap to grip on to.

...even if you move around to reposition the sun (or return at a different time of day)?

Here's how much the regular CP filter vignettes at 10mm:

And Shannon is right, at 10mm you really can't shoot horizontal landscapes with a lot of sky with a polarizer, unless you want the weird effect. But I don't use it for that. I use it for cutting glare on shots with a lot of foreground, saturating the foreground color.

Yup, they remove the extra little part of the filter's rim on the outside so there's nothing for the lens cap to grab on to. I have a B+W slim CP and they include a cheesy little lenscap, but it doesn't stay on so it's pretty much useless.

This is a shot I took with mine the first night i got it.

Yes I know its over processed! :)

I really love the wide angle of the lens.

I bought it after viewing this person's portfolio.
