Nikon FF-CP11CPL Circular Polarizer Filter for Coolpix 8800 Digital Camera

By reducing the light reflected from non-metallic surfaces, polarizing filters allow direct shooting through glass windows and reduce the effect of glare from water surfaces and sunlit trees and grass. In outdoor shooting, the filter can even deal effectively with light reflected on steam or airborne dust particles to enhance the sky's blue color.
1 NIkon does it again
Excellent craftsmanship, quality filter. If you have the camera and want the reflection reduction for shooting through glass underwater or into a "clear" container it does its job well. Also great for snow and regular outside/sunlight use. Increases contrast and color intensity. This filter will not work with the lens hood, but there is a nikon filter that will as well as other brand filters.
2 Nikon does it Again!
Who really cares if this is good glass or not? It's designed for the 8800 ONLY due to it's unique thread size. Nikon wanted to lock-out other filter types and I suppose some lazy folks will just buy the Nikon items. Go to Nextphoto.com and buy a filter adapter instead. Then you can use ANY filter you want and keep them for your next camera. I've since dumped the 8800 for a DSLR (thank god!), but I strongly suggest not supporting Nikon's efforts to defeat aftermarket add-ons. It's bad business all around and makes the 8800 even less of a real camera than it already is.

Quote of the Day:


There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what

the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be
replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another
theory which states that this has already happened.
-- Douglas Adams, "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy"

A gangster assembled an engineer, a chemist, and a physicist. He explained
that he was entering a horse in a race the following week and the three
assembled guys had the job of assuring that the gangster's horse would win.
They were to reconvene the day before the race to tell the gangster how they
each propose to ensure a win. When they reconvened the gangster started with
the engineer:

Gangster: OK, Mr. engineer, what have you got?
Engineer: Well, I've invented a way to weave metallic threads into the saddle
blanket so that they will act as the plates of a battery and provide
electrical shock to the horse.
G: That's very good! But let's hear from the chemist.
Chemist: I've synthesized a powerful stimulant that disolves
into simple blood sugars after ten minutes and therefore
cannot be detected in post-race tests.
G: Excellent, excellent! But I want to hear from the physicist before
I decide what to do. Physicist?
Physicist: Well, first consider a spherical horse in simple harmonic motion...
