    Kenko polarizer

    Has anyone looked at the polarizer from Kenko and if so what are they like.

    I can't decide which to get for my 100-400mm and 24-70mm L lens which are both 77mm.

    I have also been looking at Cokin XPRO, HOYA Pro, but open to suggestions.

    Re: Kenko polarizer

    I have no experience with Kenko filters. I bought a 77mm multi coated CP by B&W last year, and I love it.

    This is the filter I have. I bought the slim version, so I wouldn't have vigneting on wide angle shots.

    You have "L" lenses, don't muck them up with cheap filters. Stick with B+W, Heliopan, Hoya. Make sure it is multi-coated to block flare and internal reflections. A quality multi-coated circular polarizer commensurate with an "L" lens will cost between $150 - $200 in the 77mm size.

    Haven't researched these at all and was surprised how cheap they are, I took the lazy option and asked on here first. That'll teach me.
