Hoya circular polarizer standard (blue box - standard - uncoated) $22.00 or Hoya HMC Multi coated $45.00----- is the old story you get what you pay for true??
Is the three of four layers of "coating" important....?? is there a big difference.... I've always used a polarizer on my film camera years ago but haven't purchased one for the digital camera yet...Now is the time... Which one do pbaser's reccommend...

thanks brian Cook

You get what you pay for. I had a decent circular polarizer, dropped it and broke it, so used a cheap one I already had. The results were terrible, so I bit the bullet and spent $90 on a 52mm B&W.
