Promaster 95mm Circular Polarizer HGX Prime

The ground and polished glass on this filter is noticeably sharper than my old one—no more softness in the corners. It cleaned off a fingerprint with just a breath and a microfiber cloth, which was a pleasant surprise. Very happy with how it handles reflections on a bright afternoon.

I was skeptical about spending this much on a filter, but the difference in contrast and clarity is immediately obvious in my landscape shots. The coating really does repel dirt well, which saves me time cleaning smudges between shots.

The infrared suppression is a game-changer for my long exposures, cutting haze in ways my old filter couldn't. Glass feels substantial and the coating really does repel fingerprints during dusty shoots.
