Useful for minimizing reflections and glare and enhancing the overall color and tonal saturation is the 72mm Circular Polarizing Filter from Canon. By filtering out light that has become polarized due to reflection from a non-metallic surface, this filter helps to produce a noticeable increase in saturation of skies and foliage, as well as clearer imagery when photographing in hazy conditions. A circular polarizer differs from a linear polarizer in that it supports full use of a camera's autofocus and auto-exposure functions.

Reduces reflections and glare by filtering out light that has become polarized due to reflection from a non-metallic surface.

Arrange and filter directionally polarized light perpendicularly to the reflected light, allowing for the absorption of much of the light.

Lessens haze in distant landscapes and provides more saturated, vivid colors.

Strongest effect when used at a 90° angle from the sun.

Optical glass is used in order to maintain clear image quality with high contrast and color fidelity.

Q: 7. I just purchased the Canon T6i and have an older Tamron 18-270 that I purchased about 7 years ago. It's been a great lens I used on my Canon T1i. Is there more improvement in this Tamron 18-300 that I would notice on my new camera?

A: I too had the Tamron 18-270mm on an older camera and now have the Tamron 16-300mm on my Canon 70D. In my opinion, moving up to a newer/better camera is the biggest plus - my 70D is far superior to the T3i I had prior. As for the lenses - there is a little more range (definitely a plus!) and I think the 16-300mm is a little quieter and focuses a little quicker. I've been very happy with the upgrade and chose another Tamron because they stand behind their product and actually honor the warranty - without attitudes!

Q: 10. I'm getting chromatic aberration when I use the Tamron 16-300mm with the new Canon T7i. Is this a problem of compatibility or a defect of the lens?

A: I have this lens and use it with the Canon 70D. There is chromatic aberration, particularly at the longer telephoto. My understanding was the this would not be unusual in a lens with this wide range. I use Lightroom to process my images and Use the Defringe adjustment under Lens Correction to fix it.
