Good Bargain

The Hoya Alpha CPL offers a lot of value for a low price. The glass is a bit difficult to clean and is EXTREMELY susceptible to streaks. I find that the easiest way to clean it is to breathe on it and immediately wipe off with a dry microfiber cloth.

The only optical problem with this filter is that any in-frame point-source light (street lamp, sun, headlight, flashlight, candle, etc) will create a very prominent flare. To eliminate this, do your best to keep point-source lights out of frame.

Unscrewing is a little difficult. It would be much easier if the ridged section stuck out more, it wouldn't be such a big deal.

Overall, this is about the best CPL you're going to get for under $50.
