The circular polarizer filter is, by far, my favorite filter type. These filters are most commonly threaded onto the end of a lens. Because Canon's big white lenses have a huge front objective lens size, these threaded filters are not practical.
Before purchasing a super zoom 500mm lens I was very concerned about how I would tackle a polarizing filter but Canon has really made life easy with their Drop-In Circular filter easily accessible from the top of the lens and simple to change out for other Drop-In's such as a UV or gel.
This 52 mm screw-in filter works well for Canon 500mm lenses. My Series 1 500mm lense came with a gelatin filter. This filter holder with a screw in glass filter can be cleaned better than the gelatin filter, and you can use other 52 mm glass filters with it.
Canon 52mm Drop-In Circular Polarizer Filter (PL-C 52) Review (---------)The circular polarizer filter is, by far, my favorite filter type. These filters are most commonly threaded onto the end of a lens.
This is a drop in filter made for specific Canon super telephoto lenses. The quality is excellent. The rotation of the filter is easy. This filter is a must for bird photography. Nice blue sky and easier to see through the water. This filter help toning down reflections.
control wheel is hard to get at when adjusting light. It is small does not protrude high enough to get a finger on. hides under the flash mount protrusion on front of on the camera. Poorly designed.
I like the idea of having a circular polarizer filter on my 500mm but when photographing animals I just could not be bothered with it as things happen way too fast.
I have tried the drop-in polarizing filter with on a 300mm; 2.8. Works as advertised and the ridged adjustment wheel is easy to use. Keeping a clean/ safe storage place for the filter is important to protect optical quality. Takes only seconds to swap the filters.
A bit expensive but still a useful product application for the Canon telephoto lenses. Polarizing filters cant be counted upon to reduce glare without adjustment to address the source of the glare.
Excited to receive my 82mm Circular Polarizing Filter. Can't wait to shoot with it.
Omce again, Canon yweaks an accessory my a milimeter or two to require purchase of a new filter holder or polarizer. Really?
