I am new to the filter and lens. Hope I can get good advices here.
I went to ebay and got a set of used filters for my digital camera.
There
is one Hoya PL lens. I doubt it is linear pl, but not sure. Does
that
matter for digital camera if it is not cir-pl? Also, how do I tell it
is
standard or double coated lens without the retail package?
Here is the link to see the filter.

Filter was made in Japan.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Jaimie
I pretty sure it's a linear polarizer. The delta arrow & double rings
say linear. Multi coated filters differ in their appearance, but in
general, the more coatings the wilder the color. Zero coating looks
like plain glass. Single coating has a pail color. And multiple
coatings look like something a rock star would wear. Hopefully another
poster can give you a better way to identify multiple coating.
Best Wishes, John
