By reducing the light reflected from non-metallic surfaces, polarizing filters allow direct shooting through glass windows and reduce the effect of glare from water surfaces and sunlit trees and grass. In outdoor shooting, the filter can even deal effectively with light reflected on steam or airborne dust particles to enhance the sky's blue color.

I am standardizing to the 77mm filter size and got this CPL filter as part of that effort. I am using it on my general purpose lens (Nikon 18-200mm on a D300). It works great on that lens (with an adapter).
The CPL rotated nice and smooth. There was no binding or catching when installing or removing this CPL. That was important as I plan on sharing this CPL between a few lenses.
I saw no "vignetting" at 18mm.
It does add 1 to 1 1/2 or 2 aperture stops. It makes the clouds visible in front of a bluer sky and when rotated correctly, removes glare as it should.
The multi coating surface was clean and clear when I received it and it has cleaned off nicely since then.
The "thinness" of the CPL does not affect how it attaches to the adapter or how the NIKON lens cap attaches to this CPL. It has enough threads to work fine!!!
I purchased the THIN CPL on Amazon since it should fit on to the Wide Angle lens I plan on purchasing in the future (I will update this review when I do).

Its an great quality polarizer. If you shoot a lot of landscapes with sky, clouds, foliage or anything with a reflective surface (water, glass, etc) then this is for you. I spent a lot on this polarizer and rarely use it since I only do portraits/weddings. Expect 1/2-1 stop down with this on as well. Also, its a pain to use with the lens hood on.

I have been happy with this polarizer so far when taking pictures of blue skies. The polarizer really accentuates the rich blue of the sky. The advertising material suggests that you won't see a significant change in f-stop with the polarizer on. However, I noticed that there is a significant difference in the f-stop, particularly in overcast or low light conditions. Some pictures I took with the polarizer on came out blurry when the camera adjusted for the lighting by keeping the shutter open longer. Fortunately, I tried all of this out quickly enough. Just to warn you.

Yes.
I'm an enthusiastic hobbyist - probably more comfortable with the science than the art of photography.
I've used polarizers for about 20 years but must admit usage tailed off after the switch to digital from working with mostly slide film.
I replaced a Hoya polariser that had received a bit of a ding and was hard to rotate. The Nikon replacement is considerably thinner and easier to work with.
It's now something I take off my 50mm 1:1.4D when I come indoors as opposed to something I put on sometimes when I'm outdoors.

I've been using polarizers for 30 years; This is a very good one. It is thin enough for my Pentax 16mm wide angle lens, but deep enough for my lens cap to hook on the outer threads.
