Title: Hoya - not what it used to be
Product review: Polarizer filters have two rings. One ring has threads that screw into the lens. I did not screw the filter in very tight, just firm enough so that I could rotate, the second outer ring without unscrewing the filter. The filter worked fine and removed the reflections I wanted to get rid off. Removing the filter was the problem. The ring with the threads is only about 1 mm wide and thus difficult to get a good grip on. I used a rubber band to get a better grip and struggled for quite some time to get the filter off the lens. I never had this problem with my 20+ year old 52mm Hoya polarizer. The ring with the threads is 3mm wide in the old filter which makes a big difference. This detail is missing from the product description.
