Which brand makes the best 55mm circular polarizer filter? I'll be using it
with Olympus C-2500L and have a 43-55mm adapter handy. Should I stick to the
Olympus brand? TIA!

Get a Hoya HMC cir polarizer. Good price and quality. Look for a used one on
E-Bay before buying new.

> Best circular polarizer filter for DSLR?

I have a Tiffin I bought about 15 years ago for a Minolta 9000. Paid about $60
then. Just bought a polarizer from Porters Camera website for $16.95. Both work
equal on the Rebel.

Can you really tell the difference between Hoya HMC and Hoya non-HMC polarizer?

Can you mount both polarizer and ring flash on the Olympus lens?

B+W (or B&W) "Circular Käsemann, slim version"!!! Great Quality; perhaps
you can find it on eBay.

The Tiffen ones aren't the slim versions and typically have threads on the
front side of the filter just like whatever it's screwing into. So if your
ring flash screws into the lens or housing, you should be fine. Do you have
any other filters that you use with your ring flash? If so, the polarizer
shouldn't be any different except that you will want to be able to turn it
to get the desired amount of polarization.

If you want new, check Adorama.com's "house brand" of filters which are
Tiffen for less money. Otherwise, check out eBay auctions.

Take a shot with a bright light in it or a bright spectral highlight.
Then you will see the difference. Then try it with an SH-PMC coated
Heliopan to see the most effective flare control.

Is that what it's actually called? Must be some odd German idiom; to me that
reads "circular cheese man".

I wonder what the logical jump is from cheese man to polarizer.

Define Best. The best I would guess is B&W's (may need the thin for
wide angle). However the question is do you need the best if it is over
kill.
