I'm looking at UV and Polarizer filters and was wondering if Hoya was a good make.
Thanks :)

Hoya has different qualities at different prices, but it's a good brand, I have two CirPol from them.

Howdy,
I just got a Hoya circular polarizer for my Tamron. before the Hoya i used one by a company called Bower which was kinda strange- basically it worked by having a darker bit at the top of the filter that you rotated so it covered the sky or whatever you were trying to darken... it wasn't too bad but it broke because Bower make crappy stuff.
The Hoya one (green box) works well, but it does darken the whole frame so the shutter speed drops and you may have to up the exposure by 1/3 to make it as it should be. This is a total ballache in indoor shots as even at f2.8 its shooting at 1/15 on ISO 400... something to consider.
