Product Description
Polarizing filters are used to select which light rays enter your camera lens. These filters remove unwanted polarized light that reflects from surfaces such as water or glass. The polarizer also visibly saturates colors for striking effects, especially with transparency film. The range of effects is easy to preview in your camera's viewfinder; simply compose the picture and rotate the filter. Wirelessly transfer or print your images as they are shot via 802.11b/g speeds up to 20m away (Wireless printing requires PD-10 Wireless Printer Adapter) Rotary Multi Selector makes feature selection fast and easy Voice memos In Camera Red-Eye Fix Face Priority AF 23MB Internal Memory; SD Memory Card Slot An SD Card is NOT included, therefore we suggest purchasing an Optional 512MB memory card. It will allow you to store a lot more Video and images, as well as take advantage of the camera's high resolution abilities. PictBridge compatible for printing images without a computer USB and A/V interface (A/V with COOL-STATION) Approximate Unit Dimensions (w x h x d) - 3.7 x 2.3 x 0.8 inches / Unit Weight - 4.8 ounces (without battery and SD memory card)

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
Then - fortunately - the filter broke. It became seriously stuck on the lens twice in 6 months, then stopped rotating (the only thing worse than a stuck polarizer is a stuck polarizer that won't rotate = is of no use), and now it is difficult to thread onto the lens - it either falls off or won't come off.
My local store had two filters in stock - a Quantaray ($ 60) and this Nikon filter for $ 180. I don't believe in Quantaray and I just can't justify spending $ 180 plus tax on a filter but based on the reviews and the decent price found here I ordered it from Amazon - in the end it was only $ 40 more than a low-end Tiffen or Hoya would have been. And since I use it literally every single day, I splurged.
And I love it! There are some users that mention this filter is difficult to take off because it is so slim, and some users say it falls off easily too - I have no problem with either. The filter finds its thread immediately and attaches smoothly. There is no need to tighten it down much, it will stay on right away so I go very easy on it and so far I have always been able to unscrew it with no problem (I tried a few times because I am a bit paranoid about this right now). It rotates very nicely with just the right amount of resistance. Results are as advertised, true colors, very clear image. I got some flare with it but not as much as with the Tiffen. I have not had to clean it yet, so I can't comment on how difficult or easy it is to remove smudges.
I strongly recommend this filter especially for the price ($ 107) I paid.
Used with a 16-85mm lens on a D200.
UPDATE: After two months of using this filter there has been the occasional need to clean it, and any smudges came off easily with a lens cloth. Some took a bit of patience, but I never needed to use any special solutions, just gentle wiping until the smudge was gone. Smudges were mainly from my finger (skin oil) or my dog's nose.

Nikon is famous for the lenses, and the glass used in the filter is their special ground glass. It is hard, not easy to break, but easy to clean! The frame is also made of quality metal, light yet sturdy. In addition, the filter is weather/water-proof. How do I know all these? I accidentally dropped it in wet mud when photographing in a tulip field. Unfortunately, there seemed to be some tiny sand grains trapped between the rotating rings, and made a little grinding noise when turned. In order to finish my assignment, I had to clean the glass hastily with just my shirt sleeve (not a good way to clean due to the "sandpaper" effect). Upon return, in order to flush out the sand grain in the ring gap, I used a tooth brush, running water, a can of compressed air, pressured water jet (for cleaning teeth), even a small screwdriver trying to "open" it (no, the filter didn't budge). After all these abuses, and for many times, the sand grains seemed to dislodge gradually. I thought the filter was probably destroyed after all the bad treatments. To my surprise, there is no moisture or dust between the glasses, the frame holds its shape perfectly, and the ring turns smoothly. Even better, after cleaning the glass with rubbing alcohol (make sure to wipe dry right away), I do not see any visible scratches under the sun! It is not only top quality for its optical performance, but also for its professional built!
People often rave about B+W or Marumi polarizers due to one website's reviews. I believe this hidden gem from Nikon, though not reviewed then, is right up there with them, if not better.
Top reviews from other countries
Don't advise using it during sunrise/sunset as it creates weird gradients, but the lighting during this time is beautiful without the filter.
Also, it cuts down a lot of the light that goes into the lens which makes it challenging shooting handheld while it's not super bright and sunny. Something to keep in mind.
