Where is the filter made? I have problems (Vignetting) with poralizer when using with my lens AF-S NIKKOR 18-135 . Will be the same wih this one?

The Hoya HD has "Made in Japan" printed on the edge. With the Nikkor 18-105 there are no vignetting problems. Do you have other filters stacked or possibly a lens hood causing your problem? The other possibility is the zoom stop may not have have been adjusted correctly from the factory and it goes a little wider than it should.

If you are referring to the Hoya top-of-the-line polarizer, it's the absolute best you are ever going to get. I have no idea why you would have this problem.

My polarizer is made by Hoya, a Japanese company. Vignetting is a common problem at wide angles, e.g. 18 mm. If you're using another filter to protect the lens (UV or skylight) try taking it off & just using the polarizing filter. Getting the filter as close to the lens as possible is the goal. Can also get a step up ring and a larger polarizer, e.g. 77 mm.

The Polarizer is made in Japan, the filter is thin compared to cheaper ones. i have not had any problem with Vignetting using the Nikkor 18-105; i have also used it with the 70-300 VR, and never noticed any problems.Steve

It's a bit smudgy. I use it now to protect old lenses that I don't use much. B+W, Hoya, Tiffen, are all good filters that I currently use and I haven't had any problems with. I advise paying the extra few bucks for the better filters that will last longer.

Never heard of fresh or rain water damaging a polarized filter lens. Salt water might. Sorry, wish I could tell you what happened. I know it has a plastic coating on it.

The lens on the camera accepts 55mm filters. I have a vivitar 55mm uv-haze filter and a polarizing lens. I'm going to purchase a 1A filter to help protect the cameras lens from damage.

I'm using this same filter on a Canon 24-105mm lens, and everything is awesome......what negative effect are you talking about??

The true I don't use match this filter, I have to play more with this. But I think you may have some black or shadows, and in other hand, like someone said you can remove UV filter. In some shots you want use polarized filter and at this time I don't know how will work because I don't have one."Hi,I have a canon 24-70 lens. Will this work at 24? Or do you think I will ses!e black spots as others mentioned. thxn"

You are absolutely right on that Scott. The 35 1.8 is also a Chinese made lens. Same here ... that 35 1.8 was the first lens on my D90 (which is made in Thailand) and is still my go-to prime lens. I feel like this 85 mm is definitely more a portrait lens given the effective focal length on the D90. It performs superbly tho. I think the only two Japanese lenses i own are Toknia's. I don't understand why its important where a lens is made tho? Is it about the QC??

Not exactly sure....probably china, if assume. But I will say, it's been on my Panasonic 20mm lens since I got it, and has protected it VERY well!

Yes, I personally use this 77mm filter with my Tokina 11-16mm. It will work without any vignetting. Great filter too!

I use a Hoya Green Label (uncoated) 46mm UV filter purely for protection from dirt and "me". I got mine from camerafilters.com for @$10, maybe less. The main concern for me was getting one that I knew would clear the lense tunnel, as no one seemed to know what fit my FZ28 at the time. I've taken hundreds of shots just for comparison, I see no difference in image quality. I now leave it on inside and out. I prefer the uncoated, as they seem easier to clean. (A lenspen works great for the filter and lens)Edit: You do mean F"Z" 35 don't you?? You posted FX35..

I use sigma filters on all of my lenses and have had no problems with smudging when cleaning. I use a nikon cleaning pen generally when I clean and all of my filters stay spotless.

Hi Sam, I owned the 58mm set of these filters and was not happy with them. They are listed as "Japan Optics" but are actually made in China. The warming filter is plastic, not glass. The CP has a minimal polarizing effect at best. And, from what I can tell compared to my Hoya filters, these are definitely not coated optics. I sent mine back yesterday. YMMV. Cheers, SB

I would recommend the Nikon brand NC (neutral clear) filter. Unless your willing to spend more, in that case get B+W brand. You get what you pay for. No point in putting a piece of junk filter on a $1000 camera.

I just checked my camera. I don't see any inside threads for a filter on the lens. I don't know how a lens hood attaches so I am no help on that either. Sorry.

The filter size is 67mmhttp://www.nikonusa.com/en/Nikon-Products/Product/Camera-Lenses/2201/AF-S-NIKKOR-85mm-f%252F1.8G.html

Personally I don't see why it wouldn't work for your lens. I bought mine for a Nikkor AF-S VR Micro 105mm f/2.8G IF-ED. Both of these lenses use a 62mm filter. That said, this is a quality filter. Don't go with cheaper filters. I have done it and am now replacing them with the B+W filters. Your photos will only be as good as what the lens and filters allow to be seen by the camera / film.

Good question...I have a simple answer.......buy the best filters you can afford. IMHO, I only buy Nikon filters for my Nikkor lenses. You can't go wrong with any of the top brand filters as previously mentioned.. Be sure to check that the filters mounting ring is thin enough (especially on any wide angle lens) so it won't cause the filter to fringe.
