AFGA the now semi-defunct film and paper manufacturer is selling Circular Polarizer filters for the outrageous price of $6.99 on Amazon ! Now you must be saying to yourself "I would not put a $6.99 filter on my "Limited" lenses, no way ! You may be right, but I was just looking for some CPL filters to use occasionally when I need them to knock-out the reflections coming from reflective surfaces.
Most of my Pentax lenses do a good job of darkening the sky so that's not why I purchased them. At that price I can have one for each lens without having to switch back and forth. I purchased three of them and so far they don't seem to affect picture quality, but don't quote me on this. I haven't really tested them yet. In any case, I wouldn't screw them on too tight.
A few years ago I purchased a couple of really expensive CPL's that set me back financially and how many times did I use them ? 2 or 3 times per year. As a matter of fact, they are still sitting on the shelf collecting dust. I looked at some moderately priced Hoya filters and they go for $30 and up, but after my experience with the more expensive filters, that can wait and I'm in no hurry...
