I'm ready to pop for a polarizing filter and I'm wondering which is
better for the Rollei TLR: linear or circular? Or are their effects
simply different so you might want both?
Thanks,

I have used linear polarizing filters for years and they are
excellent for reducing reflected light which tends to be linearly
polarized. It's a necessary tool for outdoor use and for dealing
with shiny objects indoors.

A while back I bought a circular polarizing filter and didn't find it
to be very useful, but I just thought I should have one.

I believe auto-focus TTL cameras need a circular polarizing filter.

If I were to chose a polarizing filter for a Rollei it would be
linear. They work like magic.
