I wanna get a Circular Polarizer filter for 16-50 f/2.8 ΓΈ77mm
Is a $20 one off ebay good enough or should I lash out for a proper hoya or B+W

i too am wondering if theres a big quality difference between CPL filters. i currently have one by Tiffen, but cant compare it to others because i dont have any.

yes there is a big quality difference, I have a cheap CPL that renders highlights purple at the highest level of polarization. Makes it pretty useless.
Also strengths differ too, Darker the stronger.

I have a Hoya HMC 67mm circular polarizer. It was around 50 bucks. I don't use it nearly enough :(

It depends on your lens. Is it a steaming pile, or an expensive chunk of glass? If the former, then buy a crappy filter and you'll be fine. If the latter, then pony up for the B+W.

dealextreme.com has cheap Kenkos (rebranded Hoya), they work ok
