"Digital Vision", obviously. Blind people shouldn't be using cameras.

yeah, pretty much auto fail now.

whats the symptom of incompatibility? autofocus totally not working? mine still works, but a little slow

Are the targus CPLs at Walmart any good? I mean for a poor person with a Bridge camera.

how is a filter wrong for a dslr? its just glass that screws on to the tip of your lens.

but on internets theres a note that dslr should not use linear PL filter.
And i believe mine is a linear, since theres no C/circular word
>> ?????????????
It's definitely a linear. You can tell by the back of the box where it shows they have bath a PL and a CPL. Yours is labeled PL.

what other bad things should i notice beside auto-focus (although i have no issue with autofocus) with this 'Digital Vision' PL Filter?
>> ?????????????
your meter will also be fucked.

Your actual pictures won't be affected though.

Why did you buy a Polish filter, are you a jew?

thanks for the input.
Guess i'll limit myself from using this filter, only when taking pics thru window.
I'll get a UV Hoya or something better for general use.
>> Not the OP
As long as I'm not using autofocus or the camera's meter (for example, manual mode with incident light meter and manual focusing using the hyperfocal distance), then a linear polarizer should be just fine for me, right? They're cheaper, after all...

OP, i'm still laughing my ass off that you paid $50 for a $5 filter from a 2-bit company.

thanks..
yeah, i made a foolish buy anyway.
how shitty is this brand anyway?
>> Anonymous
>>220812
well, for all intents and purposes, it's not even a brand. it's just some non-company rebranding other people's OEM merchandise to make a quick buck, which apparently is easier than I previously thought lol.

aw... i'm sorry dude. we all get swindled at one point or another. i would return it if you can, it's definitely not worth anything near what you paid for it.

since i bought it somewhere 400miles away, it just will be a lesson for me.
next time, ask /p/ and get a reputable brand
