Which POLARIZING FILTER should you use? AMAZON BASICS vs. HOYA

Показать описание
In this video I'm comparing two polarizing filters: the one from AMAZON BASICS vs. the one from HOYA. The ones used in this video have a lens diameter of 67mm.
Since both have a 4.5 star rating on amazon (US) but a price difference of $57 (55€ amazon Spain), I was very curious to know how they perform and if the $57 price difference is justified.

(In the description is written that the filter from hoya has a 8-layer-multi-coating. On the package from the one that I've got from amazon Spain it says 16 layer coating)

I agree with you, Patrick. The Amazon Basics actually did just as good of job as the Hoya as long as you weren’t doing professional landscape shooting.

Having started off with cheap filters before moving to more expensive ones, I find that you are paying for much better flare control, less light loss and less colour-cast.

Awesome comparison video, thank you! It really gives a clear idea of the differences to decide if the higher price is justifiable.

I'm a product photographer planning on using the polarizer to reduce glare on glass. This is a surface I shoot often. I have the luxury of controlling my light with delusion panels and believe the amazone basic may handle it.

Thank you that helps this newbie in Colorado USA. I think the Amazonbasics will be fine for learning fir a long time. It's $13 dollars US. I spend more than that on a drink. =)

So in order for the filter to work, you have to turn it? I thought it worked automatically once you placed it on your lens.

the amazon Basic is good for car photography?

Your review is incomplete as it doesn't compare the sharpness of the resulting photography.
The polarizing effect is similar, yes. But to be fair, you'd have to shoot to identical photos with the same settings on the camera, and then zoom in.
Also, the more expensive filters have additional anti-reflection coatings, with the cheap filters you will tend to get more lens flares and other degradations.

With today's mirrorless cameras, why not use a linear polarizer? A Hoya linear polarizer is much less expensive than a Hoya circular polarizer. Why not add a Hoya linear to your comparison...
