Circular Polarising filter

[Adam111]

I have a Canon EOS 350D and I'm tempted by this filter:

Just wondering if it would work with the 18 - 55mm kit lens as the end rotates for focusing.

It's basically the better version of the one I have.. and the one I have works well. I have the 52mm version for my 50mm, so I don't have any problems with it rotating, however I expect you'll have to focus and then adjust the filter afterwards to suit.

Check the dimension of your lens too, just to make sure its the right diameter. I think its 58mm but just double check. Should be printed on the lens.

Either that on on the inside of your lens cap.

With mine (nikon d40 + kit lens) it will rotate with the focus so yeah... focus then adjust the filter to suit.

These are pretty good, I've got a 77mm version of the same filter, a b*gger to clean mind....

Yes they are a bugger to clean - how did you do yours Paul?

I find the best way to clean filters is either with a micro-fibre cloth or one of the Lens Pens.

To date I have tried to keep it as clean as possible and have just used a rocket blower and microfibre cloth when really needed.

I have seen recommendation re. lens cleaning fluid, although you need to be careful as the last thing you want is lens cleaning fluid getting between the various elements of the polariser....
