## Questions & Answers

**Q: is this considered a "solar filter" that will protect the camera during the solar eclipse?**
A: No, it is not.  Polarizer camera filters are used mostly to darken skies on a sunny day -- not to darken the sun.  If you're planning to photograph a solar eclipse, you'd do best by getting a special camera lens "solar filter," which will probably set you back $100 or so.  You could also get a filter made for a telescope and just hold it over the front of your camera lens to protect it when photographing the sun.  When the sun is totally eclipsed you don't need -- or want -- a filter.  But once the total phase of the eclipse begins to end and the sunlight starts breaking out, you'll need to quickly put the solar filter back on for protection.

**Q: Do these filters disprove the validity of local hidden variables?**
A: The wave function keeps collapsing every time I try to measure for a hidden variable

**Q: Can I screw in another filter on top of this one?**
A: generally you can stack filters of the same filter thread size but too many will degrade the image quality and possibly cause light falloff in the corners.

**Q: Will this work with nikon d3400 lens 18mm -55mm?**
A: If you're talking about the 18 - 55 lens that comes with the D3400 package, it's a 55 mm filter. The 70 - 300 lens takes a 58 mm filter.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Buen producto
*by D***. on August 5, 2025*

mUY BUENA CALIDAD. Compre el tamaño equivocado, pero fue culpa mia.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great alternative to a brand-name CPL that costs 4x-10x more
*by I***. on December 23, 2021*

At the price of just over $10 I decided to give this CPL filter a chance. The filter is made in China and packaging was nice but not as fancy as more expensive filters. Is packaging too important? Probably not, as long as it allows for the safe and easy storage when the filter is not in use.There are lots of reviews on this item, so I am not going to repeat what other people said and instead concentrate on testing for a few potential claims about this filer brought up in the reviews.1. Filter does not work, or makes no difference - FALSEThis filter works as a CPL filter supposed to, i.e., significantly reduces light reflections because of that helps capture more of the useful dynamic range and details.2. Filter introduces unacceptable color shift - FALSE, esp. with Auto WBIf you look at the provided samples you will notice a slight color shift if I calibrate WB and use the same value for both no CPL and CPL. However with Auto WB the camera perfectly compensates for this and the difference is unnoticeable.3. The filter reduces image sharpness - FALSEThe difference in sharpness is impossible to tell, particularly when using A7RIII (42MP full-frame resolution) and a good lens (Sigma 24-70mm f/2.8 DG DN Art at 70mm)4. The filter significantly reduces the amount of light - TRUE but no more than 1-1.5stopThe CPL/no CPL comparison images have exactly the same aperture and shutter speed. The only difference is for CPL the ISO increased from 100 to 200. This is much better than many expensive filters producing more than 2stops of light reduction.5. The filter has no multi-coating - hard to prove or disproveThe reflections from this filter are definitely stronger than B+W but they are comparable with the filters in the $50-70 price range. Also the greenish tint may indicate that the filter is not uncoated glass. The real life pictures taken against the sun show some increase in flares but it is not too bad.6. The filter causes vignetting - TRUE for a wide angle lens (but no more than other non-slim filters)This filter is not what is called "slim". It has the same thickness as most other filters, so it is likely comparable with them in terms of vignetting. If you are concerned about vignetting then you should be looking for a super-slim filter.7. The filter looks and feel cheap - TRUEYes this filter is not as smooth more expensive ones and makes a slight "hissing" sound when being rotated. It also has a tendency of thread-freezing (do not over tighten or you may have to leave on forever!). However the lack of any fancy look and feel does not impact the filter functions.Overall conclusion: if you are in looking for a perfect professional quality filter and money is not an issue, you will get better results with something like B+W XS-Pro Kaesemann High Transmission Circular Polarizer MRC-Nano Filter. However if you are on a budget and only need it for occasional use, this filter seems to be a safe choice.
