That's about right, given the size of your filter at 77mm.

good call yuenzhi!

this is a good example of a poor quality filter, look at all those alien lights in the image! replaced the low end filter with a B&W (really superb quality and make, no fite) which cost me 4x more but worth it. The B&W is solid and the image comes out free of ghosting / flare. I point directly at light sources also the control is great, not like the cheapie show below.

Is yours the B+W F-Pro or XS Pro ?

hi, mine is the B+W F-Pro version. When I took it out of the box, wow, feels heavy and well made, really high quality stuff and I'd dare say it's better made than the Hoya. However image-wise, you'd be hard pressed to tell the diff btwn B+W and Hoya.

utopian - guidelines? I guess by reading forums lorr. I also learn the hardway and when I started going back to photography 6 years ago I used Kenko. Then without doing research I tried a relatively unknown brand (Octopus) from recommendation and found out the hard way that good filters matter. . THere are some people on the internet even say remove the filter and go bare but i dont dare to to that yet after investing in better quality glass. I'd say go with Hoya or B+W you wont go wrong one. If you're not sure about other brands, just post your question here and I'm sure someone will have an answer for you.

zergling I own a 67mm Kenko Circular Polarizer (CPL) and compared to a Hoya Pro (about $300) there is a huge huge difference too in terms of image quality, however if that's your first CPL it's a good deal to start with. Slowly when you feel like something is missing, try the Hoya or B+W ones. You'll be blown away I guarantee you.
