Hmmm . . . I find this interesting . . .
 
I already deleted David's original response or I'd reply to it, but I recall 
him saying he has quite happily used a linear polarizer for years with his 'R' 
series cameras and may prefer the results to those he gets with a circular 
polarizer.
 
H. Herr suggested David may have used negative film with enough latitude to 
compensate exposure errors, but I'm wondering if that's true and if not, a 
linear polarizer may indeed 'work'.  David, do you shoot 'chromes with your 
linear polarizer attached?
 
Not what I'd expect based upon what I've been told to believe, but I have a 
real strong bias for experience over theory.

 
Back in the days when manual focus was the ONLY option we had, I had and 
frequently used one of those delightful oversized Nikon linear polarizers.  
Color saturation was splendid, especially with K25.
 
Just wondering . . . /Scott Gardner

I trust it only went black when the polarizer was in certain 
orientations... ;-)
