Used HOYA filter 52mm CIRCULAR POLARISER

I was skeptical buying a used filter, but the glass is pristine and it cuts glare from water surfaces just as well as a new one.

This little filter is a game-changer for outdoor shooting – the way it cuts reflections off leaves and water is immediately obvious in the viewfinder. Build quality feels solid even used, and my sky shots finally have that rich blue I was missing.

I’d been getting too much glare off wet pavement in my night shots, but this 52mm circular polariser cuts it beautifully without losing sharpness. The used condition is barely noticeable — glass is clean and the ring spins smoothly.
