Tiffen 67CP Review by Nicholas Chill “Nick Chill” (San Diego, CA)
CIRCULAR POLARIZER:
If you have ever owned a pair of Polarized sunglasses, then you now what this filter can do for your camera. By reducing reflections and stray light waves, this filter makes any scene that much clearer.
You will see more vibrant colors in bright scenes, your skies will turn a deeper blue, and clouds POP right off the picture. Reduce glare from reflective surfaces such as metal or water.A polarizer works on a specified plain, meaning that the lens must be perpendicular to the direction of the main light source. As with sunglasses, they are parrallel to the ground, which works in most cases since the sun is normally above you.
The key to using this filter is that it swivels. Looking through the view finder, turn the filter until the picture is clear and vibrant. You’ll notice the image changing as you turn it. In this manner, you may even adjust the level of polarization.A great deal for a very valuable accessory. This filter works perfect, and compared to the higher priced filters, is a steal.

UV FILTER:
The UV Filter prevents haze and reduces bluish tint in photographs by reducing stray UV rays entering the lens. It also has the added benefit of protecting the lens and glass from scratches and accidental damage.There have been stories of photographers dropping their lens and the filter acts as a sort of impact absorber, shattering but leaving the lens unharmed. I would much prefer replacing the inexpensive filter, rather than a lens.
In my experience with the Tiffen UV Filter, I have noticed an increased amount of lens flare and reflections over my slightly more expensive UV filters. If I were you, I’d put out the small amount of extra money for a better filter, preferably multi-coated to reduce glare.
Enjoy!

If you have an autofocus camera and shoot photos outdoors, this filter needs to be attached to the end of your lens. (If you have a manual focus camera you need a linear polarizer) The polarizer darkens blue skies (if the sky is light blue, you get deep, rich blue) and eleminates glare and reflection in glass and water.
With this filter, you can take a photo of someone standing in front of a window and not have the glare or reflection of the window shooting back into the lens. It also helps you shoot indoors at an aquarium (you can take crystal-clear photos of the killer whales and dolphins without glare from the glass).
This filter can’t take the photos for you, but it can make your photos look much more professional. The only thing to be careful of is the fact that the polarizer makes the image a little darker, so if you are shooting in dark light, you need a flash or a slower shutter speed.
Tiffen 67CP Review by Chad Skeers
This filter does its job. The action of rotation is not completely smooth, but the filter reduces reflections and deepens the blues of the sky. Here in Ghana it has been incredibly useful for highlighting natural skin tones when people are sweaty/greasy. There’s no getting around it in 90 degree weather and 90% humidity, but the polarizer cuts the reflections and makes people look much better.
When the sun or even a bright part of the sky comes into view, glare becomes an issue. This filter has been unusable in situations with high contrast, light shooting towards the sky in a forest. It’s what happens when you don’t pay the extra bucks for a multi-coated circular polarizer I guess. One upside of the lack of multi-coating is that the glass is pretty easy to clean. I hear that the better the multi-coating, the harder to get the filter completely clean.
Overall I don’t regret the purchase, but I’m getting a CPL for my second lens and it will be a $160 B+W. This filter is for my portrait lens so I’m not usually trying to capture extreme light situations. My second lens is an ultra-wide and I’ll be asking it to capture dramatic differences in lighting. Glare just won’t do.
You can see plenty of photos taken with this at [...] Easiest way to tell if I used the filter is to look at the skin tones. If they’re warm and natural, I used the filter. If there is greasy glare, I didn’t.
Tiffen 67CP:: Description
Polarizing Filters
Polarizers provide color and contrast enhancement. Reflected light often shows up as whitish glare that washes out color in an image. A Polarizer corrects this problem producing deep, dramatically blue skies. It also removes glare from non-metallic surfaces, such as windows and water. Color saturation in general, especially outdoors, can be improved significantly.
A Circular Polarizer has the same effect as a Polarizer and is used on cameras with beam splitting metering systems commonly found on auto focus SLR’s (for most 35mm auto-focus cameras see your camera manual).
Area of sky most effectively polarized with a Circular Polarizer:
Point your index finger at the sun. With your thumb extended at a right angle (90°), rotate it around the axis of the index finger. It will point out the band of deepest blue from horizon to horizon.
