I'm looking to get a circular polarizer for one of my lenses and can't decide which one to get. The filter size is 77mm. Anybody have any recommendations? The filter is for a Canon 70-200 2.8L if that makes any difference. Thanks.

Hoya Super Multi-Coated...it's a bit expensive @ 172.50 (B&H Price), but it's a good filter.

Yeah i have the cheapo one and i can definitely see where it could be improved upon. I get alot of blue and magenta edges in bright light even sometimes in normal light. I have the 80 hoya. It works fine for when i use it....
Nothing like reflection free windows.(two different cp images blended)

I'm using the B+W MRC on my 70-200 2.8L IS - no complaints. Worth every penny.

im a fan of hoya. but yea a cp filter thats 77mm is gonna be pricey.

super multi coated? eh... i think any multi coated will be fine and is a good balance of price and performance.

in all honesty, i don't remember which brand of filter i use. i'll double check and post it up

people have recommended the Hoya to me also, I just haven't spent the money on one yet.

Thanks for the input. I think i'm going to try out the Hoya multi-coated CP filter. Yay, I now have another excuse to go to B&H
