Hi Marco Any good circular polarizer will do well. The B+W Kaesemann CP is edge sealed to prevent moisture affecting the polarizing foils over time. The best CP filters I've seen are the B+W MC CP and Kaesemann MC CP but they have very thick rings so you have to be careful when using these on a very wide lens. I also like the Hoya CP's with Hoya's "Super Multi Coating", 12 full coats, 6 in front and 6 on the back, even B+W doesn't go this far! The Hoya S-HMC line has the highest light transmission and lowest reflected light of all normal mass production filters. Both brands use water clear optical glass, B+W uses the well known Schott optical glass. Both are ground and polished flat and parallel. Over time I've switched to Hoya's S-HMC filter line wherever I could for the much lower reflected light levels.
