My first magnetic filter with a CPL, interesting how it works!
I had a magnetic adapter and lens cap, but not a CPL. So this is my first real filter. It is a circular Polarizer which you turn to achieve different angles to polarize the light into the lens for different effects, mainly to eliminate reflections in water, glass, and chrome. Usually in a CPL, you turn the filter and it really doesn't "stay" it just turns and you are careful when taking the picture. In this magnetic one, you turn the filter, and it "stays" when you stop turning, due to the magnetic adapter, which is a nice surprise. What is a little disconcerting is that you are basically turning the filter within the magnetic adapter/holder, so there is friction and small scraping noises as you turn the filter. Of course there would be as you are basically rubbing two pieces of metal together, but at first, I wasn't expecting that. But it works, and it is very handy to have a CPL I can just slap on the lens and peel off when I am not needing it. I love this magnetic innovation and filter holders, so I think I will be using this CPL instead of my usual screw-in CPL.
