Q: 1. Possibly stupid question. Does the circular polarizing filter in this kit rotate? Curious as I'm not sure if they all do that or not.

Q: 3. I bouth this item and the 10-18mm Canon lens and I was using the UV with the polarizer attached to it and when looking through the view I see black borders around the image, is this ok? I removed both filters and took the picture again and the black border was not there.

A: That is called vignette. It means that the filters are too thick to be used with that lens and you will get vignette in your images. Chances are if you set the lens to 18mm you might not have vignette. In general it is not a good idea to stack filters so when you use a polarizer you should take off the UV filter. It will reduce the amount of vignette. But with that wide a lens you still might get vignette.

Q: 10. When using this polarizing filter on my D7100 with 18-105 or my 70-200 lenses and with a UV filter you rotate it and then can see the affect in the viewfinder from light to near dark. What should it be rotated to ? ie what result is achieved?Also, with the lens hood on it is difficult to rotate the filter but I assume I am to rotate it for the desired affect to be achieved? Or does this camera automatically adjust for the filter?

A: You rotate a circular polarizer to achieve a bluer sky or to cut glare from reflective surfaces. The camera will not automatically adjust for the filter, since this is a totally mechanical action. You should rotate the filter until the effect you are looking for has been achieved.
