Best Polarizer lens?
I'm looking for a good polarizer for my 300mm with a price under $50.
The one that I currently have makes the photos look as if they were taken near San Fernando valley.

This isn't $50 but you would never have the problem with the filter causing imaged to look as if they were taken near the San Fernando Valley.

It's what I choose in 77mm.
Hard to beat B&W filters. Here is a link to several of them all with 58mm threads.

You're going to be hard pressed to find a good polarizer for under 100usd.
Rhetorical question: Since you spent good money on a quality lens, why put cheap filters in front of it? I use 77mm and 67mm (Nikon sized) B&W cp's multi coated.

Thanks anyway gryphonslair. I guess I'll just make the best out of what I currently have.

You're really assuming a lot.

I own a bunch of lenses and only 2 polarizers. One drop in for my 300m and 400mm f2.8's and the one I posted for all my other lenses. The largest filter size i need is 77mm so that one filter fits all the other lenses with step rings. Top quality filter for all my lenses at a pretty cheap price when the cost is spread over the number of lenses it fits.

I have a Sunpak polarizer...yep, the kind you get from Best Buy...and I have to say that you definitely get what you pay for...as in buck up for quality.

Re: Best Polarizer lens?
Which camera are you using? For an SLR camera, you need to buy what is called a Circular Polarizer (as opposed to the Linear, but they both look the same to the naked eye.) You cannot go wrong with these brands: B+W or a more affordable brand, Hoya Multi-coated. Cheers!
