[QUOTE="fotojack, post: 20728, member: 16"] Sometimes the quality of the CPL filter comes into play. What brand is it? The 55-300 is not a low light type of lens at 1:4.5-5.6. This is a lens that needs light to be optimally effective. Brands I would recommend would be B+W, Tiffen and Hoya for best results. Also....are you using your polarizer on top of a UV lens filter?
