Actually, the "magic" appears AFTER you attach the filter. No magic in the
actually attaching. Just grab the right filter size and screw it on. Lens
doesn't matter. The way the camera body handles the light does. As Doug
said, any camera with a beam splitter for metering or auto focus will give
inconsistant results with a liner PL filter.
Also, watch those skys with a very wide angle. Since the angle of light
between the source and the camera determines the degree of polarization,
wide angles often have part of the sky showing more of an effect that the
rest of the sky. And as with any filter, watch out for cutting the corners
of the image by the filter ring. Might need a extra thin version.

Might I ask a quick question regarding polarizers and two of the R lenses? With reference to both the 21-35 Asph, and the 28-70 zoom lenses ( not the uncommon Asph version ), is there any magic to using the polarizers? Does one simply obtain a circular polarizer of the correct size, and screw it in?
Sorry for asking what must appear to be a very simple question.
