[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 485633, member: 13090"] After trying several, I've settled on the Hoya HD CPL. I like that it gives better light transmission (you'll lose about 1 to 1.5 stops versus 2 to 2.5 stops with a typical CPL) and how easily they clean up. Did you remember turn the filter to find the right degree of polarization based on prevailing light/conditions? I ask because in looking at the pics in your post, I'm thinking you didn't; those shots look to me like (very) minimal polarization was applied. I would encourage you to experiment more with the CPL that you have to see if you can't get results you're happier with; I personally wouldn't shoot outdoors during the day, anyway, without a CPL. They don't add a dramatic degree of "POP" to your shots, but they will increase contrast and saturation to a degree and cut down of course, on reflected light. [COLOR="#FFFFFF"]....
