Kenko Zeta 77mm ZR SMC Ultra Thin Circular Polarizer Filter

13 years 1 week ago #43400 by Simon Says
Mis-placed my old polarized filter and looking at some new ones. This one seems to be priced somewhat higher than many others. Any experience with this brand? I have the Kenko extension tubes and those work nice, just don't know much about their filters?

I have a Kenko Zeta SMC Circ Polarizer and am not really too happy with it. I'm looking to replace mine w/a Hoya Super HMC CPL. My Kenko seems to distort the color of my photographs... cast a strange shade over the final image... I have the Hoya i described above for a different lens diameter and it's the best CPL i've purchased. No flares, great clarity and does the job it was designed to do flawlessly. I wont be buying the Kenko again.

Really? What lens are you using when you are getting the distortion?

It's a Tamronn 28-200 F3.8/5.6 Aspherical XR (IF) Macro
It casts a very slight murky tone over everything... :blink:
