maybe the black pakage contains the best cpl? 7 layers? may all this layers make the time of exposure more long? i'm very confused... i've bought another cpl some time ago... and create shots with a warm tones... i desire to dark the sky and keep the same colours...

@dBgrafix....sorry, you're right link does work. @mayday...I have attached the link to the Hoya site...maybe that will help some more. There are some other differences...yes, more layers, but also thickness and whether it has double threads. I know more layers= more $....I am not sure if it is worth the money though. Maybe someone else has some experience with the different types....In youth, we learn....with age, we understand.

I have and use the standard Hoya cir-polarising filter - very happy with it, no problems. The 'Pro 1' has coatings on it that are designed to cut down on flare and ghosting so should give a more contrasty picture. The figures and graphs that Hoya give are for the front of the filter so perhaps this is a problem if you want to use multiple filters at once. The most I have used is an ND grad(Cokin) and the polariser together and I have not had a problem with flare, ghosting or vignetting. The other difference they quote is the 'Pro 1' is a lower profile - again depends on how many filters you intend to use at any one time, also how wide the lenses are you intend to use it with. I don't think you would have any problem with normal wide angle, perhaps you would if you are going to the extreme wide angle. My feelings - the standard is suitable for all normal usage, get the Pro 1 if you are using the new generation super wide angle zoom lenses for C size sensors or any other extreme wide angle lens or multiple filter set ups.

it's hard! i've choosed for the light grey case... hope that my objective couldn't see it! the best is the black box with 2 filter attach and very thin... but it's very much expensive! thanks for your help!
