Here're some sample pix taken with and w/o the Hoya 49mm circular polarizer. The filter can be bought around $30 in Singapore.
Note: All pix are cropped, resized and compression rate increased for faster downloading.
Without filter.
With filter....notice the sky is a richer shade of blue with more prominent cloud, while the reflection from the HDB block is eliminated. Other colors are more saturated as well.
