Circular polarizer was introduced in 1980s when auto focus camera became available. Then current auto focusing system had problems when Linear PL filter was used. Today, auto focus system has become so smart that you can use a traditional PL filter without any problems. The industry wants to sell you Circular PL filter because they can charge you more than Linear PL filter. I have taken 100s of pictures with my old linear PL filters on my digital camera with no problems with greater polarizing effect than Circular PL filter. However, without UV filtering element built-in, discoloration by over emphasized blue becomes obvious with some camera equipment especially when dynamic range compression algorithm is utilized. In this line of pursuit for perfection or more natural looking light, I have found this polarizing filter to be very favorable for my style of photography.

Been using the filter for a while and it's really well built, doesn't scratch and screws into my lens with ease.Came in handy for a recent product lifestyle shoot I did. I was shooting in a dark room and had to simulate natural light with strobes, these didn't have high speed sync so I wasn't able to shoot at a wide aperture even when using the strobes on a low power. Then came the Nd filter and I was able to shoot with nice shallow depth of field.

I took the filter with me on a Spring Break camping trip hoping there would be a waterfall or two so I could try it out.

You need a sturdy tripod and cable release as you need to compose your shot and focus without the filters then add them when ready to shoot. Here is an example of one.
