Cheap Polarizer

[MikeWilkinson]

I need one for an upcoming shoot, this is about half price of what the tiffen/hoya brands go for in retail.

Is this a bad lens or a good buy?

The Sonia brand is made in India, and rated the same as a generic CPL here. In other words, it will work, but there are better choices.

Do you plan to stack your filters or use a mattebox? I have some economical glass 4x4 linear polarizers, but they're for use in an appropriate mattebox.

No mattebox, prolly no stacking either.
