All Tiffen filters are made of quality cut glass. very competitive to Hoya.

This is a round filter that fits into the cokin p adapter just like the polarizer (and also has a ribbed edge like it). Thus it fits nearest the lens avoiding light leaks. Made of optical resin, thus very lightweight. Fits up to 82mm lenses with the cokin system.

They are plastic. In years past I had always had glass in all of my filters, and of course the glass is more durable... and much more expensive than the plastic. After reading several reviews, the reality finally hit me..."How often am I really going to be using these...really?? I decided that it wasn't going to be a great percentage of the time... and when I do, it will be for a specific purpose and series of shots... mostly on a tripod. So the chance of damage is minimized... and I just need to think about what I'm doing... it's not like a skylight or UV where, for the most part, you are leaving it on to protect the lens... ALL of the time. Filter storage is a sturdy fold-over design with hooknloop closure and the filters come in individual clear sleeves that are reuseable if you are careful with them... I have had no problems with the filters getting scratched so far... they are in my kit (3 different diameters to cover my normal lenses and 3 steps ea.) just for the eventuality that I find I am in the situation that I need them... for the price I couldn't beat them. Remember that in the early days of photography, as well as many pro's today, they used gelatin filters ALL the time, not glass.... so yes, they are plastic.

I cannot speak to what the company's normal practices are, but my 58mm polarizer came in an oversized case. I have never purchased any other case for the filter. It seems to get the job done.

No. The lenses you mention have. 52mm filter threads. This item is for 58 mm

Mine is made of glass, but the filter I use is copper. The remainder is made from plastic.

Not really, although I have a tiffen 62mm uv filter primarily to protect the lens against dirt and mist. I have been happy with image quality and lens versatility. I also have used a tiffen 62mm circular polarizer, but it has rarely been necessary. The lens hood works well to reduce glare and "ghosting". Hope this helps.

As far as I can tell it's glass. 2 layers that like your polarizer turns and gets darker as the 2 layer interact. Haven't really tried it yet so I can't comment on how well it works. But it goes from a light gray to so dark you can't see though it.

So... these filters serve two different purposes. The UV filter that I purchased is on my lens to protect the first element when I'm in situations that require me to be less than 100% diligent about where my lens is. A hood serves the same purpose so I supposed it is kinda redundant redundant... The Circular Polarizer is designed to reduce glare coming off of non-metallic surfaces. It can add "pop" to landscapes and cloud scapes much in the same way that polarized sunglasses do for your eyes. They do reduce the amount of light that makes it to your sensor and you'll need to take this into consideration. Hope that helps.

Yes, one of the filters is a circular polarizer. However, it does require a 40.5 mm thread to attach to. I have a Nikon 1 V2 with the 10 - 30 mm lens, and it does have a threaded filter mount.

Just like sunglasses that also mke things appear "darker", so does a circular polarizer filter for an SLR lens.I usually take this type of filter off if there is not glare during the 10-2 sun, and place it back on when I need a bluer sky or water tone. I does not good with lightness of items such as leaves or soft tones which a good lens with a UV filter will do. These periods of sunlight are also when one takes their sunglasses off unless they wear them to be"cool" looking

No, there is a circular hole in the polarization filter (but not the glass) so the front facing camera isn't affected.

I bought these as a gift so I don't know personally. The Tiffen website say this about the 52MM VARIABLE NEUTRAL DENSITY FILTER: "Made with high quality optical glass using Tiffen's ColorCore™ technology".B & H photo says this under the description of the Tiffen 52mm 3.0 Neutral Density Filter: "This filter is made using ColorCore technology, a process that involves laminating the filter substrate between 2 pieces of optical glass, grinding flat to a tolerance of 1/10,000th of an inch, and then mounting to precision metal rings."

A CPL filter is a Circular polarizer filter. It's used to increase color saturation such as making skies a darker blue and clouds "pop" so to speak. By rotating the ring you can also reduce/eliminate reflections from water & glass but not metal. The FLD filter is used to produce a more natural color when shooting under florescent lighting. Hope this helps you out D.E.

yes. There is no need to remove the UV filter in order to use a rotating ring polarizing filter.

It's a round filter. But, it is designed to fit in the Cokin "P" series filter holder that typically accomodates square filters. There is an outer ring that is narrower than the filter itself which allows it to slide into the filter holder. It does not screw onto the lens like most round filters do. The outer rim is 3 1/2 inches (about 88 mm) in diameter; the filter is about 3 inches in diameter. Hope this helps.

Your question applies to the 55mm Tiffen polarizer. However, I can say that the 58mm Tiffen does have its own set of outward facing threads, and I have screwed a hood into the filter whilst screwed into a Fujifilm HS30EXR.
