A polarized filter is good for making images "pop". An example of this would be shooting a picture of a cloud against a blue sky.The ploarizing effect will make the cloud stand out more. A polarized filter is fine to use on sunny, bright days.I would otherwise just stick to a UV filter which are inexpensive, and will block out most sun glares. It is also cheap insurance for an expensive lens....It is easier to replace a $12 filter than a more expensive lens....Also, have you tried setting your camera to the scenic mode? ( this is the mountain picture on your main dial)This mode will help keep everything in focus.

What part are you not happy with? Is it the color? The clarity? A polarized filter is cool, but you can do the same things nowadays with photoshop.

Thanks Derek! I will look into the UV filter.

Tia, I have a problem with the light washing out the picture when you have the sun streaming through the trees. I was hoping the filter would take care of some of that.

I use a Cannon 28-135 mm, It is what I have for my everyday. I also use a circular polarizer. My Problem is weight any ideas?

My problem is weight too! I just started working out more so I can carry my camera on the weeks. =)
