Hello!

I have a problem. I bought circular polarizing filter (manufacturer SELCO,
10$), but camera was unable to get sharp image neither on AutoFocus nor on
ManualFocus. I guess poor quality of the filter was the reason... I want to
buy Hoya Standard polarizing filter. Is it good choice? Does any one has
expiriences with polarizing filters and FZ-30?

And one more question. What You think about skylight filter (1B) Hoya Super
HMC? Is it worth to buy it?

Buy a clear UV... it won't put a color cast on your pictures as a sky
would.

That Selco has to be one crappy filter if you can't get a sharp image.

You should probably buy a "circular" polarizer to avoid some
possible problems, and Hoya is a good brand for filters. For
simple lens protection, a UV (Hoya) single-coated filter is
fine (the and skylight offers no advantage, contrary to what
the filter ads would try to have you believe....

I found some scraps, shreds (i don't know) between filter planes. I wasn't
trying to remove it, I simply returned it to salesman.
