A linear polariser gives just as good a photographic effect, but the metering system of most SLRs gets confused by a linear polariser and causes metering errors.

I listened to Dave and made sure I ordered circular. Seems like I've a lot to learn. My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

A few capable folk here so we should be able to sort most of your questions My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions

On top of that we've been very busy so not had the chance to try it yet. Hopefully Monday in Ambleside - fingers crossed. I also ordered a set of 4 close up lenses - still waiting for those to be delivered. My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions
