This is a mint Vivitar 49mm Polarizing (linear) Slim Line Filter made in JAPAN. There are no dings, no dents, and no scratches on the glass. This filter is recommended for Manual Focus Film Cameras. It is used primarily to eliminate reflections from non-metallic surfaces such as water, glass etc....Also increases contrast and color saturation as shown in my last 2 sample photos (#1 is without filter and #2 is with the filter). Neutral in color, this filter will not affect the overall color balance of a photograph. It comes with the original box and filter case.
