Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Tiffen 62mm Circular Polarizer
Customer Review: Glass scratched, threads uneven; terrible quality
Summary: 2 Stars
I bought the Tiffen 62mm approx. $30 polarizer from Amazon. When it arrived it was all smudged and dusty. But even worse, it had a small scratch on the glass. Also the thread on the ring looked badly made, or else must have been scratched during transit, because if you looked closely you could see that the paint had come of from the edges and the edges themselves looked slightly jagged. It made a disconcerting scraping noise when I put it on the lens, and that's when I decided I'm not going to use it because I'm afraid the unfinished edges will damage the threads on my lens. I got a Sigma UV filter along with this one and wow, what a difference in quality! The glass on the Sigma was smooth and clean and the ring and threads were very cleanly made. You could just see how poor quality the Tiffen was by comparison when you looked at the two rings side by side; the metal was all scratched looked like it had been crafted by hand with a hammer. And both filters came in the same shipment so it wasn't the case that something happened to the Tiffen during delivery. I don't know if the problem is bad packaging on Tiffen's part (the box did look like it would not hold the lens so securely as Sigma's) or just poor quality control, but in any case I now seriously question the reliability of this brand. I am returning it to Amazon and buying a different brand. I'm giving this 2 stars instead of 1 because the polarizing effect did seem to work pretty well, for what that's worth.
