ProMaster 72mm サーキュラーポラライザーフィルター – HGX Prime

I was worried a polarizer would darken my shots too much, but this one still lets plenty of light through for handheld landscapes. It made the fall foliage pop without any weird color casts.

I was surprised how much easier it is to compose with this filter—the extra light transmission means I'm not losing a full stop like with my old polarizer. Colors really pop without needing to boost saturation in post.

I was a little skeptical of the 30% extra light claim, but it really does make a difference in late afternoon shots. The color saturation is noticeably richer without being overdone, though the thread on the rim felt slightly stiff at first.
