[LRFlex] Re: Polarizer

Perhaps David shoots most of his photos with the polarizer in the same orientation, one that has the least effect on the exposure. I would find that hard to believe, as he is a very diverse photographer, but it is a (slight) possibility.

I am behind on my reading, and catching up from the least to most recient, so maybe this has been answered.

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... ;-)
